Finally, Coontz brought forth if someone is not marrying for love but just for the status then what is the point of getting married. I do agree with her about this and also, the point about the media blowing the idea of happily ever after out of proportion by just believing that only true love will hold a marriage together that is false. True love can bring people together but would not keep them together, this is something that marriages cannot solely rely on it takes hard work and dedication to keep a marriage
Being able to love is something you have to have within yourself. The three dimensions of passion, intimacy and commitment will continually take great work to continue a growing relationship; it is not a given in yourself or with whom you chose to love. Many miss the opportunity to experience such a love because they fail to realize it takes work. You can have the passion in the relationship; which is more the desire to want to be with that person, and you can have the intimacy of the relationship; which is the feelings of being close to someone, but if you do not have the commitment in the relationship then there is no foundation to build on. The commitment is where the two of you made a decision to love one another and maintain that relationship.
Brett Libby 11 / 4 / 12 Theology III Definition of Marriage This article written by Bishop Richard Malone talks about marriage from a very idealistic version of what marriage should BE, but not what marriage always IS. Not every marital union is blissfully happy, whether it is man and a woman, two men, or two women. Not all marriages of men and women last. Often, the marriage breaks up and the children’s lives get a whole lot more complicated, either by being raised in two households or by a single parent only. Bishop Malone states; “Marriage is the foundation of the family and the best place for children to be loved, cared for, educated, and taught to be productive, creative, upright, and responsible citizens”.
If there was no feud, Romeo and Juliet would have been allowed to be together and fall in love. Secondly, Romeo and Juliet chose to get married even though they didn’t know each other for very long. This is an example of free will. By choosing to get married they knew that it went against their parents’ wishes, thus causing many problems which led to their premature deaths. They rushed into marriage without thinking of the consequences.
Perhaps the women felt envy for the other women, knowing that they were married and had a man in their lives, while the accusers were alone and had no one? This seems to be something that historians should definitely look into, since jealousy can very well be more credible than other things they look
Gay Marriage Amanda Tolland SOC: Introduction to ethics & Responsibility Instructor: Wolfe Brandon 01/02/2012 When two people any two people are in love, they should be able to openly express their love for each other by becoming married. However, not everyone is legally able to get married. A love shared by two people of the same sex cannot be binding because of petty laws that prohibit gay and lesbian couples to get married. It is ridiculous that two people in love cannot get married and commit to a lifetime together if they are of the same sex. Love is love many people in today's society believe gay and lesbian marriage is wrong and if you are one of them, I am here to convince you otherwise.
It is especially difficult when lies and misdeeds are kept from each other. Whith honesty there is a good chance that you can work things out, as honesty proves you are willing to work on things.

Isolation Description: In this stage, the most important events are love relationships. No matter how successful you are with your work, said Erikson, you are not developmentally complete until you are capable of intimacy. An individual who has not developed a sense of identity usually will fear a committed relationship and may retreat into isolation. Positive outcome: Adult individuals can form close relationships and share with others if they have achieved a sense of identity. Negative outcome: If not, they will fear commitment, feel isolated and unable to depend on anybody in the world.
Marriage will always be a bond between two individuals involving, responsibility, commitment and trust. Marriage is essential to both texts, whilst Hardy and Shakespeare were writing; marriage was still a very expected convention. It was still treated like the necessary and normal thing to do. Both texts are dealing with the social attitudes towards marriage. Far from the Madding Crowd and Much Ado about Nothing, both have to very interesting relationships.
Communication Tara Shramek COM200: Interpersonal Communication Nichole Bogarosh Communication between people especially spouses has become a harder task than what it once was. Sometimes when I try to talk with my husband it ends up causing a fight and we are unable to get the main point of the conversation in the first place. Couples feel that they are in sync with each other when in all reality it is just as easy to stay quiet without communication. According to author Kenneth Savitsky, “Some couples may indeed be on the same wavelength, but maybe not as much as they think. You get rushed and preoccupied, and you stop taking the perspective of the other person, precisely because the two of you are so close.” I feel he is more than right on this subject.
