Does a marriage certificate really guarantee normal family lives ?

Exactly what difference does a marriage certificate make? As if there aren't plenty of people with ex-wives, ex-husbands and children who are all half-siblings and step-siblings living around. It just complicates everything.

Isn't the modern marriage overrated? Of what use is "bureaucrazy" if you can have an uncomplicated partnership?

Or does marriage apply only to traditionalists with short-term plans who have no inkling on how to plan for the long term?

A marriage license is pointless and totally unnecessary to justify your relationship with a significant other. It's long overdue that the government got out of the marriage business altogether. This is a private ordeal that should be between consenting adults and any religious institution they decide to include into their union of sorts. It's time we had true separation of church and state.

I am a traditionalist, but with LONG TERM plans - married 27 years so far. It would appear to me that those with short terms plans are MORE likely to remain unmarried - no commitments.

A marriage certificate (aside from the whole romantic love thing of wanting a recognised commitment and the moral arguments) means that you do have certain legal protections and responsibilities that just living together does NOT automatically give you.

Like an avenue for legal recompense/division of assets should things ever go wrong.

The right to make medical decisions with/for your spouse, to be next of kin.

It simplifies property ownership in the case of one spouse passing.

People get married for the wrong reasons. My parents got married because at the age of 19 my mom got pregnant with me. My Dad being older (24) decided the right thing to do was to marry her. A year later they were separated. They didn't get married for love, they got married because they were having a baby. Something that I think a lot of couples actually go through.



If people just got married because it was the right thing, not because they've just been dating that person for a year (sometimes that isn't long enough to tell if you can live with them for the rest of your life) then perhaps there would be less divorces.

i know two women that lost their house they lived in while living with their guy for years



even tho they helped support the house over the years,their name was not on the house and when their BF died,guess what,immediate family got the house,just because that paper was not important to them

marriage gives you many rights you cannot get otherwise. if you never plan to leave,then why stay single?

Honorable Elijah Muhammad through Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan Teach us



For thousands of years or more, the people who did not have the Knowledge of the person, or reality of God worshiped their own Ideas of God. He has been made like many things other than what He really is



OUR HISTORY WRITTEN IN STARS as far back as the Man goes Trillions of yrs & Eons of TImes, the WOMAN was there. About the Woman's Origin, taught us that when God was fashioning Himself out of darkness or the dark womb of space, he proclaimed this production to the second part of Himself as the female aspect of his own creation. She is referred to as co-creator and co-producer in his own self-creation. Thus, she is called the twin of Himself. So as he looked at His creation, he honored the entire universe after her.



There cannot be a new world except that there is a new and better understanding of the female, which will give us (men) a clearer understanding of self and above all, a clearer understanding of ah (God). In the Bible, (God) declares, “Behold I make all things new.”



Almighty God created everything out of the Dark Womb of Space—everything; and He gives you a womb that resembles the Darkness of Space out of which everything is created. Man doesn't have a womb—it's you, woman. And what is your womb for? Your womb is the Workshop of God. Every God Scientist( Theses are Born Scientists or Supreme, More then a Genuis and Have Powers , Extreme Longivity " HIGHER BEINGS " Immortal Human Beings ), Every king, every ruler, every prophet or sage, every wise man or woman, every genuis or scientist, every general, every person of value came through The Womb of a Woman



WOMANS- Fill your head with knowledge- Science or Higher Mathematics, Technology ,Engeenering, Advance architech etc.. ! The more knowledge you have, the more you can see something great for what is growing within you. And with the knowledge you acquire, you will be able to project it onto the one that is growing within you! Then, this child coming from your womb will be born to achieve



There is no success in building a nation without the building of family. There is no success in the building of family without the respect and honor for the institution of marriage. However, we are beset with divorce and the problem of infidelity. As a result of divorce and infidelity, hatred is building between mothers and fathers, which is causing children to suffer. We can talk about many things that are important in life, but nothing is more important or sacred than family and the cornerstone of family, which is marriage.



Marriage is the most sacred of all institutions, for it commits a man and a woman to the struggle to become as one. Marriage and it respect for True Love, and success, advancement- depends on capacity of our knowledge, produce action that is The true Rich, that produce richness, most important heart of that person, shouldnt never get a divorce because of Finance. Have to ( Work) with each other -Love is Duty and Action unless , we have truthful excuse to get a Divorce - Love is More than momentary passion and sex, Love is advancement of Higher knowledge or Conscious, new challenge or higher spiritual development in toward perfection to become image of God



We are not Perfect yet, nor our bodies, Mind-spirit will be and in Generation of Times. The life of Jesus Christs and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “Marriage is one-half of faith.” What is faith? The journey of faith is like a child born into the world that grows, matures and evolves to become one with the Creator. When we become one with Allah (God)—as the Holy Qur’an says: “Oh, soul that is at rest well pleasing with thy Lord and well pleased”—you have reached a state of bliss in the human existence after a long process filled with trials- then your marriage is not going to last long



ALL WOMANS are Super Moms in a since, taking care childrens without a Men or husband-that is not easy at all. WOMANS- There nature needs a Maintainer(Mens) who has a aim and a purpose, Value A Woman and honor, most important a Heart and Love. WOMAN must be obediance to a Men like that and not arrogant toward a Woman willing learn from a Woman Also



The Qur'an says, "Men are the maintainers of women include Bible." What does maintenance mean here? Maintenance means to keep in existence or continuance. It is man's job to keep the woman in existence and in continuance. It is his duty to preserve her. It is his duty to keep her in due condition. This is not dealing with money; it's dealing with her head, essence and nature. Mens always want to deal with her from the navel down. Mens don't want to deal with her from the neck up and she resents that. A woman resents a man only looking at her as an object of pleasure when (God) created her as a very serious manifestation of His own Will.
