Marriage

[ComradeDavo]

Ideally, what should the number one factor in marriage be? Simple question, lets see your answers....

(I know the poll is not multi-chocie, I made it delibretely so, to force you to choose! )

 

[Simon Darkshade]

Further clarification may be required. Number one factor regarding what? What individuals look for? Social utility? Ramifications for extension of privilege?

I would have to say love, closely followed by religion and tradition. Love is ideal, but not necessary for a fine marriage. Affection and friendship can grow over time.

All ya need is love.....Dum-badumb-ba-dum.

 

[Eukaryote]

You need love, but really I think marrage could be made illegal around the world and in the long run it won't change anything. I could spend the rest of my life with someone without taking a vow.

 

[MobBoss]

None of the above. The reason I say that is love isnt something that most people really understand. Thats why so many get divorced.

 

[nonconformist]

Submission.

 

[Oruc]

Money, I wouldnt want to fork out loads of money for a wedding it would have to be a cheap one.

Edit: I think I answered the question wrong, If the question is what I think it is I dont know

 

[classical_hero]

Love, between one man and one woman. That is a concise definition for marriage.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

If you refer to what I would "look for" that would cause me to consider marriage, it would be love first, and then tradition. I am the only male of my generation in my family, and thus it falls to me to continue the family name and blood. However, I consider this to be more of an obligation, perhaps you ought to add that option to your poll.

The same song went through my head the moment I voted lol.

The most important factor in a successful marrige is putting your spouse's needs ahead of your own: subordinating your wants to those of others.

 

[Sidhe]

You forgot power I was planning on marriying the Queen of Muldovia?

Well duh, love obviously.

A marriage between a lawful evil and a chaotic good is bound to fail.

 

[Flak]

None of these options. I think the most important thing is that the two have exactly similar goals as far as family, career, and lifestyle. I believe that if there is a thorough mutual understanding of what the marriage should be, they will be very successful and thus very happy.

 

[Methos]

None of the above. I'd say trust and friendship.

The thing going through my head was: "Mawedge. Mawedge is what we awe gathahed hewe fow todaiy..."

Tommyrot! Edwin Odeisseron had it on the cards with plenty of options, and Tanis wasn't in lockstep with Laurana. The noted mix is one of the great combinations.

D&D?......

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

oops, I acually voted before looking at what the poll said. Love is a huge factor, but not the only one. A commitment to making the marriage last is what matters.

And as a Lawful Good, I could only ever consider Neutral or Lawful Good.

That's just a case of terrible authorship.

Something like that.
