What is the goal of marriage?

So here's something to make you go "hmmmmmm....."

What is the goal of marriage?

The question is not "What is the definition of marriage?" Or "What is marriage?".

Let's put those brains to work guys and gals! Get out of your ordinary routine and think about this for a second. I guarantee a fantastic and stimulating process as we travel the journey together to get the right answer.

Oh yes, there's only one right answer. Good luck.

Oh and if somebody gets it right I'll send you a little candy treat. Seriously. Unless you're a diabetic or something, that wouldn't be good. In that scenario I'll send you something else just as good or better!

And if it's agains the rules to send something to anyone then I won't send anything. I don't remember reading anything about that anywhere, but just in case.

Happy thinking amigos!

Carolina, the goal of marraige is to survive without killing each other. Not sure that's possible! lol Do I get my candy bar?

Carolina: I remember from my Catholic grade school days that the goal of marriage was to form a life-long marriage... and have a lots and lots of kids. That was way back when the life expectancy was very low... and the country needed to grow in population. I think that to believe in that concept now is just foolish. Just my two cents.

Carolina,

I think I knew the answer some 38 years ago... but I forgot. Sorry. Will keep watching, maybe someone would remind me.

Marriage? What is that? I always ask, "When is the divorce?"

Jim, you are soooo hilarious! That's what I was thinking when I first heard it, because of my early childhood experience with my lovely parents (I adore them both and wouldn't trade them for the world), they're divorced. Anywho, that was my answer too! But it's not the right answer amigo, sorry, no candy bar for you yet. He,he,he.

The goal of marriage is to achieve more spiritually, emotionally, and financially.

However, I could be wrong.

My goal is just to out live him...and drive his prized muscle car.

Oh Karen I totally agree dahling, can you imagine having that kind of goal for a marriage now? Dear God! I mean the lifelong thing is fine and dandy, but the lots and lots of kids part? Now that's too crazy for me.

Marriage is a commitment between a male and a female with God as their center.

Ruthman, that was GREAT! I almost fell off my chair amiga ha,ha,ha,ha!!!

Ooooooh Mary, You're close! Sooooo close to the answer. You're the closest amiga.

Carolina

The goal of marriage interesting? It could be to stay married. So it sounds like there may be three choices 1. Stays married and stick it out 2. Get a divorce and bail out 3 If you stay married and stick out the only way out is death. Just kidding.

Good luck and success

Damn! I was sure I was right. Plus I was hoping to satisfy my sweet tooth with some sugar!

I know, I know, I know..."A Happy Wife is A Happy Life." That is the motto I live by and it have been working for me so far. Yay!!

1) To die first.

2) To not kill your spouse.

If you don't like either of those, I think that the answer you are looking for is for two people to come together and achieve oneness.

Carolina- After 18 years I can say the goal of marriage is to get through a once a week football game without being nagged at!

Lol - I just read the other comments. The number of people that made reference to death is a little disturbing.

Hey Lou thanks for the comment amigo, but no candy for you! Ha,ha,ha,ha! Good answer though.

Erik!!!! It's one word and it's in your comment amigo!!! The candy is almost YOURS!!! Just narrow it down dahling and you win!!

The answer is just one word! And you got it pretty much, it's just that one word....

Diane, you're funny amiga! Marriage isn't all that bad, I'm sure! But don't ask me 'cause I'm not married yet he,he,he.

Steve, YOU ROCK! But no sweety for you my friend. However I may just give you something for that answer you gave. It's a darned good answer amigo!

Hey Jon, You've been married 38 years???? Wow!

All kidding aside from my comment: Marriage is like an old shoe, you start to fit into it.

Aja! Good answer Diana, but Erik is about to win if he doesn't fall asleep first... Oooh, it's soooo close yet so far away... Hey, isn't that a song? Hmmmm. All of a sudden I'm being transported to a time of lots of hair spray and puffy bangs... Anywho, I better go to sleep.

Actually, I got that quote from Jerry Seinfeld, when me and ex-boyfriend where watching and heard we both cracked up. Anyways Carolina, from what perspective are you referring to? Geez, I could probably write a book on the subject...I think I will go to sleep now.

Diana, it's just one word amiga ONE WORD and Erik has it but it seems as though he's going to go candyless.... Anyways, It's late and I'm falling asleep too zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hasta manana, babys!

Hmmmmm...God, Jesus? Reality (bites)?

Great question but one right answer, oh no. :) I love Ruthman's response. Since Im not yet married but at that crossroad Im sure my answer is different from others. I see it as a built in support system, someone to stand behind you to be your cheerleader, someone to share in lifes accomplishments and lets downs with and then it's large financial merger. It's a business transaction ultimately.

Orlando & Lake Mary Real Estate Agen, hey amigo! Yeah, it's just one word: ONENESS. When you think about it though it isn't so far off. That one word encompasses so much and really says it all. You and I both have a lot to learn yet, so take this one word and really reflect on it because when the time comes it won't be just a business transaction. At least I hope it won't be that way for you amigo, because you deserve much better than that: Real Love is out there and you're worth it. As corny as it may sound, it's the truth amigo. God bless you!
