It may avoid divorces but what happens if you get pregnant. |

I think that you should have a new law that says you should stay together for so long before you get
married this could help bring down shocking statistics for divorce. If two people are truly happy
and want to get married then a year or what ever the time shouldn't matter. But there should be
allowed certain exceptions like if a person has an illness and they want to get married before they
die or whatever but HEY what is VEGAS for lol |

Unfortunately the data, at least in US, suggests that couples that live together before marriage and
then get married, have a greater chance of divorce at a later time.
I, also, agree with the others that the state should not intrude in one's personal life with a law
regarding this.
Also, I think a big reason for divorce is the following: Prior to the "sexual revolution" (before
the 1960's), believe it or not, individuals did not "hook-up" with every person they met.
Sex was really saved for marriage in most instances. So, what? You ask. Well, there is such a
thing as sexual imprinting. This is where your one and only sex partner makes a huge imprint on
your psyche, mind, body and soul. This makes a huge difference in "bonding" to that person, perhaps
and hopefully for a lifetime.
Now, let's take today, where I imagine the norm is multiple sexual partners prior to marriage. This
delutes the strength of the sexual imprint. Therefore, one goes into marriage without the same
strength of bonding--I think this is a major factor in why many no longer stay committed to
marriage. What do you think? |

I agree with Helen. Not a religious thing for me, but i don't like silly laws telling me what i can
and cannot do that have no bearing on the government. I should be free to make my own mistakes. |

Whilst waiting at least a year seems like a reasonably sensible thing to do, I couldn't advocate the
above suggestion of legally enforcing it because I believe people should be free to enter into a
marriage whenever they feel it is right for them to do so, and not be under the influence of anyone
else.
So I'd say no, citing the freedoms I believe people have the right to as my reason. I still think
it's not a bad idea to live together for at least that long before marrying though, in principle -
but that's my own opinion. To draw a (possibly rather feeble) analogy - just because I think, for
example, "House" is the best TV show ever doesn't mean I think everyone should be made to watch it
by law!
BTW, I'm an atheist. Religion doesn't come into it for me. |
