All these unions demand my happiness and peace and freedom.
It is actually a sacrifice of free-will, thought and action.

Well it was our free will to surrender for the rest of our lives aparently.To share would be a better choice of words I would suggest.
To share,care and build a better tommrow together was my dream about marriage and I agreed readily to celebrate it in advance!

I think Foxxyy is right. And I hope that this union will stay solid no matter what happens.

i dont think you are "surrendering the rest of your life" you are choosing to marry someone that you 100% love and are compatable with! Its quite sad that the main thing you are upset about it the cost, not the love that goes with the cost/

if u get a nice partner....its a blessing...if its the other way round then u cant help it.....it can work both ways....

If you could know how a person will behave after marriage, it would be a lot more easy to choose! Getting a nice partner is a matter of chance.Few get and few compromise with the one they have to live with.
Surrendering is a hard word! Marriage doesnt mean surrendering our selves and our souls. If that was the matter I would not marry. I think marrige is an agreement between two person, to live together in harmony and be there for each other forever!

I think the cost is beyond measurable because you cannot retrieve the time you have invested in your relationship. However, it is also worth going into. Although you may end up hurt at the end. You still had the happy times. Those times cannot be taken from you either.

Very much so. I think a union happens before marriage. Marriage, to me, is just the legal side of things. And the legalities of anything seem to cost a heck of a lot!

marriage is a lot more the just a legal side of things. It is joining to people together for the rest of thier life. Marriage is joining to lives together. I dont understand how you guys think marriage is so casual
