“Marriage is an out-dated concept in the modern world” How far do you agree with this statement? Give examples and reasons for your opinions include different points of view.

              People who may agree with this statement could do for a number of reasons, they may be non religious or simple don’t agree with the laws of marriage and believe that just loving someone alone and having that person love you in return is a strong enough bond, that in their minds will never be broken and therefore have no reason to get married and make it official. 

               People who are non religious and don’t believe in any God may agree that marriage needs to be updated. Non religious people may not feel it necessary to unite themselves and their partners in Holy Matrimony witnessed by God when they don’t believe in him. Also these people could feel there is no significance of getting married within a church as the concept of marriage is being united as one with Gods approval, perhaps non religious people would benefit from the idea of marriage being updated and not only a religious ceremony so they can officially make a commitment to spend the rest of their life with the person they love and not do it for the wrong reasons and take advantage of God by using his house to create the “perfect marriage” and yet will never repay God for his favour.

                   It could be argued that perhaps these non religious people may change and once they have children decide they want to introduce their children to God, this way, although their opinions haven’t altered they would always go back to God if they felt their child needed to learn about him. That way having a marriage in a church as it is now without any modern adaptations will be acceptable because the family fully have God’s blessing and have brought their children into a world where God will love them.

                    In conclusion I feel that a marriage should remain a religious ceremony to take part within a church because marriages have sustained such religious significance over the years it would be inappropriate to change these traditions and update them for the minority.
