Marriage is an outdated institution 

People spend years seeking a person they share the same interests and views with. It can be rather challenging to find the right person to spend a whole life with, so when they actually come across one, it is important not to miss the chance. Marrying each other seems to be a logical outcome of long and strong relationships, but does exchanging the vows still work this way? Let me consider some points regarding this issue. 

Personally, I don’t think marriage has become outdated as it’s kind of a tradition which never gets old. It brings serious attitude to relationships. It is not the marriage becoming senseless, it is about people not holding their vows. What is the point of getting married to a person and not being serious about it? People take a huge responsibility committing to another person. They should try and do everything to make their relationships even stronger with a passage of time. Moreover, in most cases marriage leads to having a child. It’s better for a kid to live in a family, as married couples have more opportunities as not married ones. In addition, if two people are not bound, and “divorce” takes place, it can be unfair for one person to lose everything he/she had the moment the other person decides to leave. 

On the other hand, marriage might seem to be outdated as it is actually not really necessary to prove one’s love by signing a paper. Furthermore, people cannot be sure they’ll love their partner for the rest of their life, not even telling about a year or even less than that, so divorce in such a case might be more painful than just simple separating because the process takes much more time. 

To sum up, I think that marriage should never become an old-fashioned thing in many cases, not well thought over, based on emotions decisions, lead to divorces, as people simply do not understand what they are doing when getting married basing on first impressions. People should consider the points wisely and not get married on the spot.
