I will go for the marriage of the olden days.



When I want to settle down. I have always wanted to do so for the love of marriage. I want to enjoy my marriage. Otherwise I will just sit and enjoy my life stress free. I can have kids if I want to.



How ever, we make plans for ourselves but for certain reasons, it doesn't work that way, our partners might have a different plan entirely.




Anyways I am so tired to type much

Op seems to have problem with the church marriage. His write-up seems to be littered with reference to it as if it is the cause of marital breakups. Sadly, the church values are meant to protect and reinforce integrity of marriage. If people dutifully follow Christian values, problems will disappear in marriages. What kills modern marriages of nowadays is not the Christian aspect of it but secularisation of marriage. The jettison of what Christianity preaches. People go to church, value the social and flamboyant aspect but jettison the core values it expounds.
I laugh when people talk as if traditional values protect marriages better. No, it doesn't. The modern feminist trend is down to the traditional values, as they tend to suppress women and make them nobody in marriage. Many of them endure their marriages but never enjoyed it, they dared not talk about separation because of stigmatisation that is attached to such in traditional settings. When traditional marital values are championed, it is men (of which op is one) that always raise their hands. Why? Because it favours men, you can treat your wives anyhow and no one questions you. That a marriage lasts a lifetime doesn't make it successful. The damages caused by polygamy championed by our traditional value system remained permanent in the lives of women and children that endure such marriage system.

THEN:- Because wives were responsible and subjective.
NOW:- Because wives are independent and authoritative.
So in Conclusion, it depends on your priorities and prerogative. Different strokes for different folks. But if you can get a mixture of both these days, you better thank your stars!
Oloshos everywhere nowadays!

1. he has a farm, house or a paying job
2. women must be trained 2 cook and take care of the home
3. bride price is a token
4. men could beat up their wives and the woman cant talk back
5. wives were engaged in less stressful jobs cos their husbands were capable

NOw
1. both parties must learn 2 cook, u can download d app 2 help you learn
2. training is now on the job, if u cant bear it divorce
3. conjugal duties must be enjoyed by both parties, if d wife dosent enjoy it, she can call it rape
4. u dare not beat up ur wife again. criminal offense
5. u must be able 2 have a paying job AND business by the side if u are thinking of ever gettting married

Marriage is mostly crap these days. The human race has evolved and our values and priorities have changed, so it's for the most part an outdated and pretty much redundant institution.

It's nothing worthwhile in most cases.

You can do Christian marriage without the flamboyance. The ceremonial part is a choice people can do without. Churches can marry you discreetly without attracting undue attention. I often laugh because people don't really know what Christian marriage is. You people tend to always associate it with the social reception. No, church marriage is not the reception. Sad part is when many are invited to a wedding ceremony, they go and take seats at reception venues without attending the marriage proper in the Church. It is the joining of two people together before the pulpit with vows of trust and fidelity till death do both apart that is the marriage and not the reception that takes place afterwards.
If people will remain faithful to their marital vow to love and cherish themselves in health and sickness, with or without children until death do both apart, it is the best that can happen to human kind.
Who cares if you wear wedding gown to you marriage ceremony? it is not obligatory. Who cares if it is done on Saturday? That is not encoded anywhere. At any morning or evening mass, the Catholic Church will conduct a wedding ceremony for you.

Unless women are taught to know their place in a marriage, marriage as an institution will only get worse and ultimately turn out irrelevant.
better it turns out irrelevant! You can’t continue cheating people in the name of marriage and think things will continue being fine !

Yes, it will be a scam when both parties have contrary aims especially personal interest in the union. But where aims & objectives is properly defined less issues are likely experienced.

i prefer nowadays marriage, which is based on love....
marriage of those days seems like contract the main reason of the woman is to bear children and cook, and if you can't give birth to male child ur name is sorry...
Re: Marriage Now Vs Then – Which Do You Prefer? by Gruvychuky(f): 4:47pm On Feb 20, 2018
people who don't understand marriage or are unfortunate to marry the wrong ones, speak negatively about marriage and try to discourage others. Its not really so. marriage is sweet and enjoyable when you marry right. I have 2 sisters and all of us are happily married with children and we are enjoying it. Even my friends around, its same with them. so I wonder why people condemn marriage. Pray for God to give you someone that will value you
