So just because someone doesn't believe in God, they can't fall in love?





Not quite sure what these statements have to do with anyting in the thread?





You seem to be contradicting yourself here...first you say its not ok for atheists to get married, now its ok? Im confused here. Pre-marital sex is not the only reason religious people get married, so your argument here is invalid.

"Marriage" existed before modern religion, although it was probably in a different form than what we recognize it as today. The idea that religion and marriage are mutually exclusive is just plain ignorant.

Marriage never ends well.

i disagree.

My parents celebrated their 20th anniversary not too long ago.

The fact that every married couple in my family has been together for 20+ years alone, proves you wrong.

Whoop-dee-fuckin'-do.

Owell.
We can't expect little boys to have very grown up opinions anyway.

Actually, I've had a thought about this..

Marraige? Maybe not.

I want to get married, but I mean.. Okay, so my life would be SO much better if my parents hadn't got married to be honest.

Story of my childhood.

there is nothing wrong with you, you just realize that you need to be love and that you feel alone, that is very common....so what r u waiting for? a woman to come to your door and asking you to marry her...that is only available in dream. Get on and Get OUT

Marriage is rly important to me. I think that I wouldnt be able to stay with someone im deeply in love with that doesnt want to get married. but i think that if the guys in love with me he'll marry me cuz i want it it sounds a bit selfish but im been dreaming of my marriage since im like 5..

Marriage doesn't necessarily have anything to do with being an atheist, but it does have to do with being religious.

The Bible calls that everyone must get married, and, though that is not the sole reason for most (if any) ceremonies now-a-days, it has something to do with the reasoning that people do tie the knot.

Most religious people do not believe in pre-marital sex or in living together before marriage. This can have a huge effect on when and if a couple gets married.

People who aren't religious often get married because it is a union of two hearts, and it is a sacred ceremony that joins families, allows two people to confess their loves for each other in a very publicized way and finitely. It is traditional that people do eventually get married, which is some of the motivation that I believe that non-religious people hold. Many women also want that feeling of being the bride!

Others also get married because they have children and would like to have the same last names throughout their family.

There are a lot of other reasons, but these are the ones that have been sticking out the most to me, as I have recently gotten engaged and am planning a wedding. =D
