Damned if you do, damned if you don't

I believe that marriage is an issue that can be argued in many different ways.  I am a firm believer in marriage for the "love" sake, but I also feel that it is vital for survival within humans.  Our society is different than most and we have an issue with sharing.  We were suppose to learn it at a young age, but apparently it never stuck with us.  It's hard to survive without the help of families but some people do it (like I do) and I'm just fine most of the time, but someday I would like to share my life with a significant other and have a family.  I also feel that marriage, along with children, is a good way to teach our children of the future how both (man and woman) sides of the world work and work together.  Some people take it too too far when it comes to marriage though.  Of course, in our society, people who are of older age get looked down on because they haven't found that right person...SO WHAT?  Once again, this blog has made me realize how ridiculous we all act.  People in other parts of the world who don't really look at marriage as a necessity work together as families or communities but they seem just fine by that.  I'm not saying marriage isn't a big deal, but I feel the American society has made it the way it is today.  Just because of what we have done to the word "marriage" there are some of us who are so scared of it that it will never be a part of our lives.  You should be happy to find that special someone and to commit to them and not ruin your relationship because it's the "end of your life."  It should be the very beginning of your life.  Just another chapter to enjoy.

I truly believe that survival should be second on the list with marriage.  It defeats the whole purpose of respect and dignity, but that's just my opinion.
