So Taylor Swift is a dirty whore? cos I don't believe she kept her mitts off Jake Gyllenhaal.

Firstly, wearing a promise ring and being a whore aren't mutually exclusive.

Secondly, it's a very personal decision to take. I do think that society is oversexualised at the moment, and there is too much pressure forcing teenagers (even underaged teenagers) to rush into sex, but if someone feels that they are ready, and is using proper precautions, I don't see why they should wait for marriage, especially considering that so many marriages now end in divorce.

I'm sorry, but the way I'm reading that is: Two people who really love eachother need to get married, in order to prove that they do in fact love eachother, and only then can they truly make love.

Which is utterly, utterly wrong. Love is not something you need to prove to anyone, love is not something you need a contract on. Love is an emotion, you feel it and it exists with or without marriage. Love is no more real when you're married than it was before, and marriage shouldn't change the way you have sex.

They were together for such a short time. I have full confidence that Taylor wouldn't flaut her stuff because she's not a whore. Taylor doesn't have any bastard children.

So two people that are together and living together for over 10 years aren't really in love with each other? That their sex isn't "real"? On the contrary, I think it's important to have sex before you choose marriage so you can truly experience each other at your most vulnerable. I know couples who have held off on sex only to break up at a later date when they find their partner has some bizzare fetish that disturbs them.

And tell, what is the point of marriage when divorce is as common these days as having a iPhone? And what of all those marriages where the couple fall out of love or end up in abusive relationships? What about arranged or forced marriages?

Your view is an idealised one and there are a lot of "what ifs?". The important thing isn't marriage (considerring it hold little value in the modern age and is little more than a status/label), but having a loving relationship.

Sorry, no. If you want to, feel free to do so, but let people decide for themselves.

Also, what about people who are in a relationship but never get married?

I'm sure they can LOVE each other, but it's not perfect. It's like putting together a puzzle with thousands of pieces and getting to the end to discover a piece is missing. Marriage just solidifies that in God's eyes that you're in love, and that your union is 100% official.

Not everyone gets divorced. You gotta fight for your love. You got to be careful who you love and who you marry. People rush into things.

You relaize not everyone believes in god. With that being said, not everyone has to get married, thus, discrediting your thread title
