Update: Thanks so much for replying! I really appreciate your input!
Hey yall! Would ya help me out with a homework assignment for my cultural anthropology class? - I promise it's not cheating ;)
Basically, I need to do a little questionnaire on the topic of marriage but I want to hear from single folks and married folks. I know I get a lot of hits on my blog but I don't know who most of you are because few of you actually comment. Please please please respond to this by Tuesday night, either by posting a comment or by emailing me at tiffaniepaige@gmail.com.
Ok, here are some questions:
What's your age?
Single or Married?
How might you define what a marriage is?
Where/How did you develop this view?
Thanks a bunch yall!

Hey Tif!
Here you go...
25
married
two people who adore eachother, are honest with eachother, are willing to make personal sacrifices of selfish desires, communicate openly, and who wake up every morning and make the decision to love that person unconditionally.
3 years will teach you a lot.
My view hasn't always been this way. You learn, if you're willing, that's it's not all about you.
I don't know if this is what you're asking for:)

How do you define what a marriage is?-Marriage is a journey, often taking you places that you may not want to go. It also goes through different seasons, some seasons that you like more than others. Above all, I think that marriage is a commitment and sometimes that commitment is all that keeps you going. After lots of hard knocks, learning from the good and the bad, I am truly enjoying the season that we are in now. Commitment and the feeling of security go a long way when you are facing tough times. Knowing that you share the same goals with someone else and that that person truly loves you makes the bad times not seem so bad. You must learn to put your spouses' needs ahead of your own sometimes, and there is give and take, and compromise required of you both. Try to outlove and outgive, and reap the rewards.
How did you develop this view?-Life lessons that you learn as you go.
Beth
My Age is 45 years old
Married
The union between a man and woman that is God ordained; A lifelong covenant between a man & woman where they become as one unit (one flesh).
Through my faith, based on the Bible.
Jana
I am 28 years old and have been married for 3 years in December. Marriage is created by God and must be centered on Him. It is the union of man and woman for the purpose of holiness. I think my view of marriage has been formed over the last 3 years. I have learned that the purpose of marriage isn't for my happiness but for my holiness and without God at the center it would fail.

Single or Married? Married
How might you define what a marriage is? The lifetime union between a man and woman - a union that requires work, sweat, tears, love and most of all, Christ.
Where/How did you develop this view? Lack of seeing it in my parents, my own marriage...

What's your age? 34
Single or Married? Married, 11 1/2 years
How might you define what a marriage is? Like a professional sports team. Sometimes we play defense and sometimes offense with and for one another in this game called life. Sometimes we drop the ball. Sometimes we score lots of points. But Jesus is our star player; He brings it home every time. God is our coach. Joseph and Matthew sit the bench most of the time, but they learn the game by watching and participating for a few minutes here and there. Gus is our mascot. He's kind of silly, makes us laugh, and the kids love him.
Where/How did you develop this view? God, my parents, and living life.

Single or Married? Married
How might you define what a marriage is? One man and one woman committed to each other for a lifetime and "one" in God's eyes.
Where/How did you develop this view? My parents when I was young and then the Bible in my adult years. Love you, Cindy

Single or Married? Married
How might you define what a marriage is? two people entering into a covenant; choosing to live together til death no matter their differing views on money, parenting, etc. Always striving to love one another completely, compromise always.
Where/How did you develop this view? God and experience
James

not married
a legal establishment between two consenting individuals where are they are declared a couple..forever. how's that for vague.
I developed this view from my upbringing with what the culture taught and my family.
Bethany
What's your age? 23
Single or Married? Single
How might you define what a marriage is? A lifetime commitment a man and wife go into knowing that no matter what they will stay together; through absolute thick and thin. Getting to spend the rest of your life with someone shares your beliefs, passions, and ideals.
Where/How did you develop this view? By looking/learning from the lack of commitment in the marriages around me and seeing the OTHER spectrum of what a marriage could look like and just how amazing they truly are because they put forth an effort of 101%
What's your age? 17
Single or Married? Single
How might you define what a marriage is? Marriage is a spiritual, emotional, and physical bond between one MALE and one FEMALE that love each other. It brings together two people along with their family and friends.
Where/How did you develop this view? Personal view and from my Bible
