Every girls dream is to get married and experience walking on the aisle with their "prince".
Is it still true?
I see that the marriage rate are declining nowadays. There's no doubt that marriage is a big commitment that's why it must be taken seriously and one must think a thousand times before jumping in. Recent studies also shows that people are becoming more anxious about it and sometimes shuns marriage, Maybe because of the declining economy and people are just being more practical - choosing cohabitation over marrying. Some of my friends are now living in with their partners. I asked them one time, why not marry instead? The answers i always get are
"practical na lang ngayon, hirap ng buhay"
"as long as you love each other it's ok and it's also a good way to test the relationship" and so on..
I still believe getting married has more benefits than those just living together. I think we are just afraid of the posibility of relationships to fall apart or collapse.
12 years of the 21st century have passed..

To TS it does..
But there are a lot of headaches a marriage could cause like:
1. incompatibility that normally leads to hiwalayan
2. infidelity of one or both parties, which in turn cause relationship to become sour..you cant get out because you're on a binding agreement
moreover it doesn't mean to say that having those above mentioned, leads me to not believing in it..
may annulment naman eh

People say scarcity shows 'less value' I think it shows higher value. Something common and not thought of, something you do as a whim, something you do because that's what everybody end up doing isn't as important as something you really sit back and ponder about. Just like having kids. Mostly anyone can have children, those who actually wait, so that their children have better things, that they're mature enough to handle being a parent, shows higher respect for parenthood.0

Marriage do still and will always matter. Meron lang mga gunggong na napupunta dito na akala nila eh laro lang. Pero in the end you know di nila alam yung ginawa nila.0

The ceremony, the expensive receptions, the pre-nup photo sessions? Icing on the cake. Not having money is a lame excuse. A marriage license in most cities in the Philippines will set you back less than P500 as long as you don't use fixers and you do everything legit. You don't even need to pay the mayor or judge to facilitate your civil wedding (see Supreme Court administrative order 125-2007).
Marriage matters if the legal protection it offers is important to you. If you already have a strong, committed relationship, then marriage is just a way to make things legal and secure.
However, the lack of divorce in this country should also give you pause. Easy to get married, but hard as hell to get out of it.0 -
despite the ugly realities of relationships, it would still be nice to be married to someone who is honourable. i used the word honourable because it describes everything an ideal partner should be. if i'd be blessed with such, i'd be proud to be called my man's wife just like a queen to her king.
so yes i think marriage still matters.

Most married people I know got married because the girl got pregnant or for practical reasons (such as needing to have a baby, expectation from society, family pressure, financial stability).
There's only a few people I know who got married because of love. Very very few.
Marriage only matters if you're doing it for love. For any other reasons, you are better off being single. What a loveless marriage does is it kills your dreams. You both get stuck in a rot. You both get fat. You both end up living in a repetitive boring existence. You get to the point when you look at your life and ask yourself "is this it?".0 -
Of course, I still want to get married with someone I really love kahit sabihin pa nilang di na uso. Pwes di naman ako nakikiuso. Iba yung feeling ng pinakasalan ka diba? Pero takot pa din ako na baka nga lang magfail yung relationship pag tagal. So you must really think and choose the right person 0

Marriage matters to me, because im a firm believer of the sacrament of matrimony. I always attended weddings of friends and relatives, i hope i could have my own wedding. Looking forward with this. At times, I ask myself, when will my time begin? Please Lord, make it happen..
The sanctity of marriage revolves around the man and woman (a couple) who promised each other and God as their witness, that they will love each other in sickness and in health. This is a commitment, both persons involved will grow in their relationship.0 -
