    I am sure that you mean a Mare (A female Horse). A whore is a different thing altogether.

    Perhaps it is the weak minded who need that piece of paper to be responsible and devoted to the relationship. Perhaps it is the idea that a relationship isn't "serious" or "real" without that piece of paper that makes people argue that marriage is a necessity. Personally, I don't think I'll ever marry again, but really hope to find someone special I love and be best friends with.

    Don't think i would marry again either, i do dream of it but i don't see the point,  i would probably just make some vow between us, like in braveheart, swap cloths..   but what if two people are planning to raise a family, shouldnt there be some kind of commitment.. ?

    why do you think a piece of paper constitutes commitment? The only piece of paper I would think would actually matter in a relationship is if you share property or wealth, and make up some will so that neither party doesn't end up with nothing in the case of death.  A lot of countries are still lacking behind admitting rights to people who are not married.

    Some people think that that piece of paper kind of secures a marriage. In the sense that a spouse would think twice before leaving his or her life partner because they have married socially. Years back my parents wanted divorce but didn't pursue the idea for the same reason. There is no love lost between them but they are living together because of me and my brothers, and yes the society.

    It's cynical to describe marriage as just a piece of paper. It's usually much more than that for most people. It's often a deeply symbolic and valuable expression of commitment, representative of complex emotional pledges and promises, not merely a formality. People can absolutely stack it with meaning and significance, gamble a lot of trust and faith on it. Depends entirely on the couple and what marriage means to them.

    It's quite common for couples in Sweden to live in cohabitation for years, having both house and kids together. But then they decide to get married and just a year or two afterwards they separate and divorce. I heard someone say that it's because the pressure of marriage puts a strain on the relationship. They can't handle it. Perhaps it's different from person to person, culture to culture. For me personally, the marriage, the paper, was a hindrance for me to see my situation and my now ex-husband for what he really was because I didn't want a "failed marriage".  Maybe I'm a bit cynical right, but being abused and hurt by my husband who was supposed to be my everything made me see things a bit differently. The marriage has no great positive symbolic significance for me, unfortunately.

    Anyway, I went off topic a bit, but I cannot see that religious people are, or even religion making people into, better people and human beings. My ex is supposedly a very religious Muslim man, but the lack of morals and ethics in him is astounding. And the disgusting part, is that he has support for some of his behavior directly from the religion.

    Pre marriage i viewed it as a symbolic spritual union between myself, my partner and God, i had a highly romantic view of it, until my marriage fell apart and the bubble burst, now i just see it as a form of social order, i think ideally if youre planning to start a family, some kind of commitment is needed, it would be better to relax divorce laws rather than discourage marriage.. I couldnt get a divorce from my ex in british law until i provided his address, i didnt know where he was in the world as he lives abroad lol so they said i had to pay thousands of pounds to do it without his signature or wait a few years until they anull it automatically ??  hilarious as i got my islamic divorce instantly..

    And you can have the exact same meaning and significance without it.

    I'm not even married (though I am engaged), so it has no real personal significance to me either. But I can still acknowledge that it does have personal significance for some couples.

    Well, no, not the exact same meaning and significance.

    I'm not saying that you cannot have any kind of meaning and significance in a relationship without being married. I'm saying that people view marriage differently and some people see it as significant as a thing in itself or imbue their own marriage with significance peculiar to them and perculiar to their marriage.

    I'm of the opinion that marriage only has as much meaning as people give it. I think that's what Ishina was getting at. Kinda like sex. To some people it's this deep, meaningful, spiritual experience and to others it's just getting off with another person. Saying marriage is just a "piece of paper" to someone who ascribes something deeper to it is akin to telling a Muslim the Quran is "just a bunch of words". It's a matter of personal beliefs whether there's more to it. Marriage is just a social construct anyway, it is whatever people want it to be. 

    @ OP
    Sex outside of marriage is highly immoral, one of the most depraved things anyone can do. I mean, how can you lot condemn such innocuous and Allah-friendly sexual pastimes as (male) adultery, slave rape and pedophilia -- just to name a few -- but be down with premarital sex?
