The Marriage Institution

These days, for every marriage almost half ends in divorce. People no longer treat marriage as a ’till-death-do-us-part’ arrangement unlike the past. Instead when things get rough, divorce is a very viable option because a divorcee no longer faces any social stigmas associated with a failed marriage.

But if divorce is becoming rampant and marriage doesn’t mean you have to stick with a person through thick and thin, is there any more meaning to marriage? In fact, nowadays many couples just choose to live together without even bothering to get married.

So, for Love Q #16:

Is the idea of marriage outdated?
