Marital Trial
by A marriage license represents a couple that is legally married. It is an official piece of document accepted by society, that says, “now you are legally married and you both should fulfill your roles as husband and wife!” what about for those couples that have been living together for many years without a piece of legal paper? Do they consider their relationships as husbands and wives?
What is the percentage of the population actually has a chance to marry to a loved one? Some old-fashioned marriages could last a lifetime. My grand parents had never met before the wedding and they have had fifty years of good marriage. I know that they had tried very hard toward their differences to keep the relationship working; and they did not believe in divorcing their spouses. Nowadays, people have the freedom to select and the divorcing rate is much higher compare to before. During the "trial marriage," how many of these couples faithfully believe in commitment, and truly attempt to work on their relationships? If one partner made one error that would cause enough reason for a break up, in this case what is the purpose of getting married? Maybe since the relationship is so fragile then people might as well should to stay single.
In my friend’s situation, his partner just wanted to try a new partner and what made the "goodbye" so convenient was because they were not married. Three years of "marriage" and one day she just said to him, "I am no longer in love with you and it’s time for me to move on." Marriage or no marriage, when one partner stops loving his/her mate, this should be the time to let go. Unlike making a mistake, when the feeling is passed there is nothing left to work on. Forcing a person to stay in a relationship without love is meaningless.
