1. Even though marriage doesn’t work out for some people, do you think it’s still the best kind of relationship? Not necessarily the best, but it shows dedication
2. Do you think that too many people nowadays drift into marriage without giving it enough thought? Damn right
3. Do you think that marriage is just a piece of paper and there isn’t much point in marriage? Is it ok for a couple to cohabit if they have no intention to marry? All depends on religious beliefs and views, I know many a people that are not in the least bit religious but deemed in necessary to get married in a normal church
4. Do you think it’s acceptable for a couple to have sex outside of marriage? I think it's sweet if you can wait, bit in this day and age it doesn't work
5. Expanding on Q4, do you think it is acceptable for a couple to have a child outside of marriage? It happens, if you feel you are ready for a child but haven't yet married, then why not

Attitudes about Marriage.
1. Even though marriage doesn’t work out for some people, do you think it’s still the best kind of relationship?
If you are married it means that you see a future with each other. Marriage to me is the ultimate relationship between each other, because it's a promise to be with each other support each other in both good and bad times.
2. Do you think that too many people nowadays drift into marriage without giving it enough thought?
Not at all, I think more people are simply living together as partners rather than getting married. But yes there are also those who are disillusioned with love stories and I think that women are mostly affected by that.
3. Do you think that marriage is just a piece of paper and there isn’t much point in marriage? Is it ok for a couple to cohabit if they have no intention to marry?
No I don't, marriage isn't about the paper. Yes the paper gives you validity within the law, but it's also a state of mind. If a couple want to live together with no intention to marry then I find it strange (unless they are just room-mates). I'd never live with someone unless there was a slight chance for a permanent future. In which-case, I'd get married.
4. Do you think it’s acceptable for a couple to have sex outside of marriage?
To be honest... I personally would never have sex with a girl unless I thought that there could be a chance for a future. I wouldn't want to ruin her life just for the sake of an hour of fun.
5. Expanding on Q4, do you think it is acceptable for a couple to have a child outside of marriage?
No. A child needs to brought up in a family environment. Why have a child and not be married? I don't understand. Seems like the reasoning of a person with commitment issues. Do you want to have a child with someone who cannot commit?

1. Even though marriage doesn’t work out for some people, do you think it’s still the best kind of relationship? Most definatly, it shows that there is a strong bond in the relationship to feel the need to get married.
2. Do you think that too many people nowadays drift into marriage without giving it enough thought? Yes, Many people think its a competition to show it off that there married and have the ring to prove it.
3. Do you think that marriage is just a piece of paper and there isn’t much point in marriage? Is it ok for a couple to cohabit if they have no intention to marry? I think marrige runs deeper than a piece of paper, it shows that the love is really there.
4. Do you think it’s acceptable for a couple to have sex outside of marriage? Yeah why not, as long as they really care about each other!
5. Expanding on Q4, do you think it is acceptable for a couple to have a child outside of marriage? Yep, happened to me, was planned sort of, but i loved my gf and love my daughter even more now shes here. Just me and the gf are not together anymore!

1. Yes, there should be a formal bond between people, to express the importance your spouse has in your life.
2. Agreed, hasty decisions prove you wrong.
3. No, marriage is not just paperwork. Why not bow to live the rest of your life with someone that completes you so much?
4. Pre-marital sex can easily be abused by men, so, although i know that people have the right to seek for good sexual concordance, people should always keep in mind it is a great responsibility to ask for, from a woman. So i guess i'll say yes, but it's heavily case dependent.
5. No. A child has the right to be borne into a proper family.

Attitudes about Marriage.
1. Even though marriage doesn’t work out for some people, do you think it’s still the best kind of relationship? Yes, its a companion which is there for you till the end of your life. A person you can talk to about anything. A soulmate which can answer and share diffrent questions and thoughts. Your married partner is a freind, lover, helper.
2. Do you think that too many people nowadays drift into marriage without giving it enough thought? Yes. People to young are getting married and thinking of the future and consequences. Sometimes it happens so quick, they hardly no there partner. Aranged marriages are the worse. Its unfair and isnt right to force young people to wed with out even knowing eachother. Its sick.
3. Do you think that marriage is just a piece of paper and there isn’t much point in marriage? Is it ok for a couple to cohabit if they have no intention to marry?
Its not a peace of paper its a life long commitment! All the reasons are mentioned in my first answer
4. Do you think it’s acceptable for a couple to have sex outside of marriage? If there together but not married its ok. But if your talking about affairs no. You should only love one person and thats the person you married. Not go and sleep with other people whilst you are together. It is betrayal and humiliating.
5. Expanding on Q4, do you think it is acceptable for a couple to have a child outside of marriage? Yes and no. If there together and arnt married and they love eachother, set out there future its fine. Its also fine if the person has a child from a previous marriage to get together with some one else. However if a man has an affair and secretly has a child that is wrong.

no, i dont think you NEED to get married to get the best relationship
2. Do you think that too many people nowadays drift into marriage without giving it enough thought?
i'm sure people give it lotts of thought
3. Do you think that marriage is just a piece of paper and there isn’t much point in marriage? Is it ok for a couple to cohabit if they have no intention to marry?
marrage is more than a piece of paper its a commitment
4. Do you think it’s acceptable for a couple to have sex outside of marriage?
why not?
5. Expanding on Q4, do you think it is acceptable for a couple to have a child outside of marriage?
yes, and no. you make a commitment to stay with each other and in my opinion you are less likely to split up with someone your married to which can be very hard on a child

Attitudes about Marriage.
1. Even though marriage doesn’t work out for some people, do you think it’s still the best kind of relationship?
I think so, it shows you are true to one another (most of the time) but this is the 21st century and the cost of weddings nowadays, i think has an effect on how many people actually get married.
2. Do you think that too many people nowadays drift into marriage without giving it enough thought?
Yes, especially in Vegas
3. Do you think that marriage is just a piece of paper and there isn’t much point in marriage? Is it ok for a couple to cohabit if they have no intention to marry?
Yes, not everyone has intentions of marrying. This shouldn't stop them from cohabiting. I'm an estate agent and I deal with people every day, you'd be surprised at the amount of people who buy houses together but aren't married. Not as many as married couples, but its certainly on the increase.
4. Do you think it’s acceptable for a couple to have sex outside of marriage?
Sex is a thing of love (mainly  ) its also a thing of privacy and thats how it should be, married or not.
5. Expanding on Q4, do you think it is acceptable for a couple to have a child outside of marriage?
Why shouldn't it be? Who says its correct, who says its wrong? If a couple fall in love but don't want to get married because of failed previous marriages, who are we as a society to say you can't have a child?

1. Even though marriage doesn’t work out for some people, do you think it’s still the best kind of relationship? Not at all, the best kind of relationship is one filled with love,trust,fun and good sex.Marriage does not grant any of these. Marriage can just put more pressure on a relationship.
2. Do you think that too many people nowadays drift into marriage without giving it enough thought? Yes, without doubt. Times have changed, everybody's a lot busier these days. Women are equal and respected, they have careers. People rush in to marriage through fear of being alone and not having a family and because "its what you are supposed to do" often pressure from parents/grandparents because marriage was sacred in their days,or even pressure from your partner. plus its a magical day all little girls dream of, nearly every girl dreams of meeting a man getting engaged and having a beautiful wedding and a big party for no real reason but to be center of attention.
3. Do you think that marriage is just a piece of paper and there isn’t much point in marriage? Is it ok for a couple to cohabit if they have no intention to marry? its obviously deeper than a piece of paper, i feel a lot of people don't marry is through fear of divorce. i don't see a problem with cohabiting as long as you are happy and in love and both feel marriage is not for you.
4. Do you think it’s acceptable for a couple to have sex outside of marriage? Without a doubt, Sex is a very important part of any relationship. Waiting to get married before sex is a religious choice and people are not as religious these days.
5. Expanding on Q4, do you think it is acceptable for a couple to have a child outside of marriage? Again yes, i have a 18month old son i'm 23 and my girlfriend is 19. Our son is a very happy bright little boy and we often get comments on how lovely and clever he is.We have our own home and provide a safe loving, caring environment for him to live in and this reflects his behavior. If we were married would this make a difference? i think not.I know a married couple with two kids, living in emergency housing and struggle with their kids and each other. Marriage has not made them happier or given their kids more security.

1. Even though marriage doesn’t work out for some people, do you think it’s still the best kind of relationship?
Yes, it shows you’re a willing to commit the rest of your life to your spouse (well that’s the idea).
2. Do you think that too many people nowadays drift into marriage without giving it enough thought?
Yes, especial the celeb circuit. One needs to know the person who they marry (I would suggest for at least 2 years and have had experience with living together).
3. Do you think that marriage is just a piece of paper and there isn’t much point in marriage? Is it ok for a couple to cohabit if they have no intention to marry?
To me marriage is nothing more than a legal binding document of commitment to one another. But it is also fine for a couple to cohabit with out the intention of marrying; in fact I’d recommend it!
4. Do you think it’s acceptable for a couple to have sex outside of marriage?
Yes, otherwise if you stay a virgin till marriage your always going to wonder what your missing out on.
5. Expanding on Q4, do you think it is acceptable for a couple to have a child outside of marriage?
It’s acceptable but I wouldn’t recommend it.

1. Even though marriage doesn’t work out for some people, do you think it’s still the best kind of relationship?
I think its a personal choice. But I think its good for a very long term relationship.
2. Do you think that too many people nowadays drift into marriage without giving it enough thought?
Yes
3. Do you think that marriage is just a piece of paper and there isn’t much point in marriage? Is it ok for a couple to cohabit if they have no intention to marry?
Again I think its a personal choice. I don't think marriage is required, and if people don't want to get married and live together I have no problem with that.
4. Do you think it’s acceptable for a couple to have sex outside of marriage?
Yes
5. Expanding on Q4, do you think it is acceptable for a couple to have a child outside of marriage?
Yes
