Marriage - the state of being united as spouses in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law. This
is what the dictionary says,but what does it mean in real life? Does it even
mean something today? In the previous generation and in ours marriage started
to look like a smelly old sock that only the desperate people wear. In our days
everything in the world tries to tell you one thing : YOU. You are
important,your needs are more important than others,the meaning of your life is
to find what makes you happy. Marriage does not fit into this view. Because
marriage is about the complete opposite : making the other person happy,put the
other persons needs ahead of yours. Of course this won’t work in a one-sided
way. This is why a lot of people dissapoint in marriage – because it only works
in a one-sided way or there is selfishness. Marriage must be ended by a formal, legal divorce or annulment process that
can be costly, time consuming, complicated, and emotionally draining.
Cohabitation is a
form of living together in a sexual relationship for couples who do not wish to
undertake the legal proceedings of marriage. Nowadays it is a popular form of
living together, maybe it is a trick for the couples. They would rather cohabit
before marriage and try how could they live together. But if its works maybe
they do not need any paper to show how strong their relationship. Or if it is
not, the lack of the paper makes easier for the partners to walk out of the
relationship owing to he or she is not obliged to the other. Some people cohabit simply to save money or because
they're already spending a lot of time at each other's places. Some other
advantage of cohabitation is that it lowers the cost of living just like in
marriage. And it also means emotion support and sexual relations without the
commitment of marriage. Cohabitations are usually short-lived, furthermore,
unmarried partners get limited support and protection from the government.
