OK so totally random topic for me to talk about but it was what we were learning about in class and i found it very interesting!
why do most people that do not have some kind of religious reasons get married?
marriage is the only legally binding agreement that has to be entered into and exited from through the government. Think about it! In order to get married or to get divorced you have to go through the government. why? why does the government view marriage as such a huge thing?? because it is?
although i don't understand why people living of the world get married today? usually they are already living together, alot of times they have bank accounts together and share the bills, sometimes they have kids together so what is a good reason to get married? they are already in a marriageish relationship without the legal commitment of marriage?
it was very interesting for me to hear my class and my teachers view on marriage and what marriage is. Of course the teacher basically went with the books definition but she also added some of her own thoughts to it! she used to be a marriage counselor.

The Definition my teacher and the book give for marriage is an emotional and legal commitment of 2 people who share emotional and physical intimacy, various tasks, and economic resources.
Here are some advantages according to my teacher on marriage:
- Live Longer
- Healthier life style
- greater happiness
- more satisfying sex life
- career advantages
- and accumulate wealth
78% of people get married, 84% of Christians get married
50% percent of first marriages, 67% of second and 74% of third marriages end in divorce
and by the way the statistics on christian divorces are about the same crazy!!!
