Does life begin or end at marriage?

Question

Darkfairie17 · Accepted Answer

life begins when you start breathing. I don't like to think of marriage as being an ending because that's just depressing. I don't like to think of it as a beginning either because I think that's offensive to people who are single. What about people who choose to be single? Are they not living?

What about people who lost their spouses, are they not alive? What about people who are married, are they not alive? I think it's a sad way to look at things no matter how you turn it.

I think a marriage or any relationship is just another aspect of a persons life. Sure, a relationship can be a huge part of one persons life. But we should all cultivate a life where we are happy with our choices.

Don't marry someone who is going to make your life feel like it's over and that every day is misery. Be with someone who is going to make you happy and go on that life journey with you. Someone who is going to cheer you on when life is rough.

Be with someone who is going to crack jokes to make you smile because you are so angry you are crying. Be with someone who is going to grab you a towel when you come inside from the rain. Be with someone who is going to feel like they won the lottery to have you.

And live your life so that even if you don't find someone, that is okay because you have so many amazing friends and experiences to satisfy you.

of course it doesn't end. You can still date, but only your wife. It takes a lot of energy and time to keep a marriage strong and you both have to be in on it. If you both aren't then why are you married? It can be full of fun and trials, but never easy. I mean, my parents have been married for over twenty years and still love each other to the ends of the earth and beyond so it depends on how you look at it.

Depends on the marriage really. My first marriage was uptight, restrictive, and kept me from experiencing the fullness of life. My second marriage is so incredibly different. Never knew life could be so good and it keeps getting better. I have an unconventional marriage, but it's been extremely pleasant for the past 18 years. We have argued less than 5 times in all those years.

Neither. It's a legal contract; nothing more, nothing less. They loved each other before, they'll love each other after. Nothing has really changed other than legal privileges, so it's neither a beginning nor an end.

Life neither begins or ends, it simply continues on. Only with marriage, you now walk through life, able to hold someone else's hand along the way.

It's kinda nice to know someone is there to help when you fall.

The biggest issue I see in a LOT of marriages is that too many people (both guys and girls) don't apply enough forgiveness. I know some things are difficult to overlook and get past. Without forgiveness, you both hold a trashcan of garbage against each other and eventually end up dumping it on each other. No one is perfect and you're both going to mess up - usually not intentionally.

as it should be. it's both. while one door ends. that being single and free to choose as you may. a new door open that allows you to move foward in life with your partner who choose to be wi th you and share all your joys and sorrows with you and to comfort you when your feeling blue and sail high above the clouds with you when nothing goes wrong

Depends on what you think of as the start of your life. Maybe when you first move out. I wouldn't say marriage is when your life ends, but I do think having kids is then point at which it ends.

Life? Well your life should begin as an individual.

TacosRAwesome · Answer

Depends on who you get stuck with. If its someone who encourages you to experience life, a beginning if otherwise an ending worse than death.

Wall-ee · Answer

Honestly neither. Your partner cannot shape your life you have to. So they are just a part of your life. But metaphorically it ends, because this is the end of a life where your decisions concerned you alone.

Neither. Life begins when you are born (or arguably when you're just a sperm or an egg) and ends when you die.
