I totally agree with you! Marriage definitely has a big legal impact that a lot of people overlook. But you’re right , beyond the legal side, how people are ‘expected’ to behave can vary a lot depending on culture, religion, and personal beliefs.
The thing is, even when people know these expectations, feelings aren’t always easy to control. Shit happens , someone might fall out of love, get bored, or even develop feelings for someone else. For many, marriage feels more like a routine or social habit than a ritual tradition that strengthens a relationship which enhances loyalty(lol).
Exactly! That was my point. The core idea of marriage started as a contract for legal purposes, but how the ceremony and traditions evolved has varied based on culture, beliefs, and lifestyle. It’s similar to language — the fundamental purpose has always been communication, but it developed differently across societies while serving the same basic need: expression of thought.
How about Infant Baptism as Christian Brainwash, is that a thing in your countries? What are your stances on this subject. Do you agree that is a form of brainwash and violates human rights and many aspects of individual freedom ?
