Marriage

    Marriage is a socially or ritually recognized union or legal contract between spouses that establishes rights and obligations between them, between them and their children, and between them and their in-laws. In some cultures, marriage is recommended or compulsory before pursuing any sexual activity. When defined broadly, marriage is considered a cultural universal. A broad definition of marriage includes those that are monogamous, polygamous, same-sex and temporary.


     Civil marriage is a marriage without religious content carried out by a government institution in accordance with marriage laws of the jurisdiction, and recognised as creating the rights and obligations intrinsic to matrimony.

   
Same-sex marriage (also known as gay marriage) is marriage between two persons of the same biological sex and/or gender identity recognition by country's legal. The first laws in modern times enabling same-sex marriage were enacted during the first decade of the 21st century. As of 19 August 2013, fifteen countries (Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Uruguay) and several sub-national jurisdictions (parts of Mexico and the United States) allow same-sex couples to marry. A law has been passed by the United Kingdom, effective in England and Wales, which is expected to be fully in force in 2014.


     Arranged marriage is a type of marital union where the bride and groom are selected by a third party rather than by each other. It was the norm worldwide until the 18th century. In modern times, arranged marriage has continued in royal, aristocratic families and ethnic minority groups in developed countries; elsewhere, arranged marriage is common in South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, Southeast Asia and parts of East Asia.
    
On my view, there are several reasons to a couple for divorce as the explanation below:


  1. Marrying too young
    -
     Some of young people marry for achieve their sexual need, either marry with immature mentality. Some of the young people think that marry is an easy way to get lifelong for each other without considering about what problem may be emerged in their future journey.
  2. Too much arguing
    -  
    Sometime, Argument is a good way for a couple to listen their different thinking. In contradictory, too much argue between husband and wife may just lead to negative effect that they couldn't accept mind thinking each other. The worst, divorce may happen.
  3.  Unrealistic Expectation
    - Sometime, either husband or wife may expect highly for his/her partner which something actually they wouldn't do so. Feeling disappointed and desperate lead to the final result which is divorce.


"Marriage has become a negative term in this culture and society," wrote Elisha McGonagle.  "We no longer look at marriage with anticipation, but with fear. Fear drives so many people in this country. People are scared that if they get married then there is the possibility of getting divorced.


Is it marriage guarantee a lifelong relationship?

"No, marriage does not guarantee a lifelong relationship, but neither does any relationship ... And only marriage was designed to be a lifelong relationship. The only reason it is not is because we have made it that way. We too often look for any easy way out. If we feel unhappy, then just leave. If you feel unfulfilled, then leave. If your husband makes you mad, you can just leave."
