Marriage: this I call the will that moves two to create the one which is more than those who created it -- Friedrich Nietzsche.
Have you ever noticed that there are some phrases or expressions that their definition is not accurate enough for us? I think that "marriage" is one of them. Almost everyone has an idea of what marriage is to him or her. If you ask different people around the world what marriage means to them, they will tell you a slightly or maybe noticeably different definition than yours. The Concept of marriage is different between one culture and another.

Islam also recommends marriage highly; among other things, it helps in the pursuit of spiritual perfection. Hinduism sees marriage as a sacred duty that entails both religious and social obligations. By contrast, Buddhism does not encourage or discourage marriage, although it does teach how one might live a happily married life (Religious aspects of marriage).

In Europe and other Western societies, the individual may be expected to make some self sacrifices for the common good. The emphasis on social well-being and social integrity prevents people from frivolously terminating relationships, whether they be cohabitations or marriages. In the United States, cohabiting or marriage relationships are often terminated for reasons that can be easily classified as selfish in nature. Americans have conflicting beliefs and values related
Marriage Views Smedley, Agnes. Daughters of Earth. 1929. The Feminist Press of CUNY Reissue 1987. It is interesting to read Agnes Smedley's philosophy of marriage as expressed in the early feminist classic Daughters of Earth in light of the current controversy over gay marriage. The author takes an explicitly deflationary view of marriage's effect upon women, and also to a lesser extent, a negative view of the male's participation in what she
Marriage in Literature: "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" and "The Story of an Hour" On the surface, it would not seem as though Thurber's "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" and Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour" would be comparable because of their varying tones, the former is comedic and the latter is more serious, and themes, escapism vs. reality. However, at the heart of both stories is a
Even in private people have a sense of what is or is not appropriate -- like whether the lights should be left on or off. When, might be only after marriage, only after the children are asleep, and only when the parents are away -- or only when on vacation with an 'unsuitable individual.'
