Marriage

My parent's Wedding

We know as marriage to the union between two  people for a contractual relationship recognized by law, religion, or society.  This is carry out through a religious, cultural, philosophical or legal rite. This will depend on the culture, circumstances and beliefs of each one. Marriage for the spouses, brings a series of responsibilities, rights and social duties. Through history it has a number of religious, economic, political and social purpose. In the informal interview this week, I realized that making a general conclusion about what people think of marriage, it is not easy. Since each person has a quite particular idea about marriage. The idea and importance that is given to this, changes with age, social and religious circumstances of each person. For example, you could see a bit of difference between the young and adults people. Where the young see  it only as part of a tradition, cultural and ancient act,  that is  irrelevant to many things. In other way, adult see it  as a  unquestionably needed act for the formalization of a family. However is curious how through  the years has become a more cheerful, celebrated and happy activity , but at the same time more fragile and optional.

In subjective opinion, the marriage is nothing more than a cultural event and this precisely gives  it "importance". Moreover, in what love it is concerned, I don't see it as a necessary act to make two people love, respect and endure one another. I would say that the idea of marriage has already changed between the young people of the last generations. The social circumstances has prompted them to be a bit less structured than past generations. In addition the actual circumstances,  prompted us to focus a little more in our self. To be more practical. We like the changed, the new and fast, we are more relative and a little more "changing". This could be another explanation  for what the ideas about marriage have been changing. Generations change together with the ideas, religions, traditions and culture. It is not a surprise that the idea of marriage changes and continue changing in response to the cultural evolution of the generations.
