How many of you think that a boy should marry his girl friend?I personally think that a boy need not marry his girl friend.

I dont think everyone in a relationship should get married and not sure what you mean exactly sorry - do you mean that you should get married and not date? I know that the religion for Muslim's is they become fiance whilst dating, but I dont agree with it.

I think that people should date and get to know each other in a relationship first before they get married. The divorce rates are already high enough as is. Of course it also depends on your religion, but for me I wouldn't recommend marrying anyone until you've had a few years with them first.

Yes I agree Leigh and I am of the same opinion, my other half is Muslim and this is against their religion but obviously we have done it and so I am lucky as when we have children I would never encourage them to get engaged just so they can date.

One should date seriously with a honest intention to get married to the girl you are dating. If there is no such intention, it should be made clear to the other party and the relationship can be pursued on otherlevels.

One thing which I want to clarify is that going for dates and living together after marriage are very very very different systems.This is what people need to understand,because with girlfriends men are as sweet as they they tend to be bad with the girlfriends turned wifes(usually).

I don’t think so. I do not mean that if she is your girlfriend you have to marry her. What if there are a lot of differences between the couple? They should know each other very well before engaging to other stage of the relationship.

It can be good this way but the other method is equally good and may be better, why it is taken for granted that the amount of acquaintance, we tend to get before marriage is good enough to kick start our married life well, and rather it will roll well ever after.

It's true, people change once they're married. The "we're madly in love feeling" does wear off eventually. But if you're really sure that the person you're with is "the one" then marriage is imperative. It's a promise to each other that no matter what you'll stay true and bound to the other person. Plus the ring is like a signboard printed all over you saying that you're off limits! This builds trust and to survive in this life, we all need people we can trust.
