What are your view's on marriage,are you for or against it, is it irrelevant to you,where do you stand on gay marriage, do you think it should be accepted or should gays be given another option with the same legal requirements, where do you stand on getting married in church,even if you are not religous?

I'm pro marriage. In saying that, it currently is irrelevant to me. Note the use of currently.

The way I see it, it is the single biggest way of showing someone how committed you are to them. If it was just a bit of paper, then why be so reluctant to do it? Marriage is a wonderful thing. For a woman (or in some rare cases a man) to give up her name, part of her identity and to change it to yours, thats a sign of love and trust. Especially the more independent minded she actually is.

Not only that, but on that one day, you show friends and family how much that person means to you, in a way that would never get done by a couple who just lived with each other indefinitely. Maybe I'm just too much of an old fashioned romantic.

As for gay marriage, I'm sorry but I have a hard time accepting that. I suppose the reasons above hold in the same way, but homosexuality just isn't natural. Just like I have issues with gays being allowed to have children, be it adopted or through surrogacy. Whether you believe in God or evolution, homosexuality goes against nature and its way of producing offspring, yet gays expect to have the same rights as everyone else? It can't be good for the children. If being gay is an alternative lifestyle, why does it moan about having alternative rights?

Church weddings... maybe. I don't have issues with that. It depends on what she wants as well.

It might mean something to them, but it's just a piece of paper. Plus a ring if you like. That's all it is. You can still legally do anything you like without being married. There are tax benefits, I think, but that's rediculous. It's prejudicial for a start.

If you love someone then marry them.

I think a small majority of people get married just to have a hold over that person. For some people it work out for some it doesnt. I think marrige has done well for people in the past but i think marrige today aint all that important.

Marrige, i think it should be between to people that are very much in love and can actually take note of the vows that are taken. Wether that is between man and woman, woman and waoman, man and man or aliens and preditors.

After all who actually made a law saying all relationships had to be male and female.

If someone is relly unsure about getting married it shouldnt be done.

To me marrige is not all that important, if your in love then why have the hassle of marrige. A bit of paper and a ring is not going to make the relationship work any more or any less then its meant to.

I, personally, can't see any point in marriage. I'm not religious, and the same goes for millions who get married each year. I don't believe that I need a piece of paper and a ring to show that I love somebody. It isn't necessary. If you can't show it through how you act, then maybe you shouldn't be getting married anyway.

As for gay marriage, well, I can't see how it's a problem. I thought generally that the church frowned on gay people, and if this is true then they can't even think about allowing gay marriage. After all, marriage is a Christian ceremony (I'm only talking about Christian unions here, not Viking weddings or Pagan weddings) and so they surely get to decide. They need to look back at the Bible, because that's all they have. If the Bible does have a clear line on homosexuality, which I suspect it doesn't, then they take that line.

But I can't understand why gay people would want to be part of a community that doesn't accept them anyway.
