Hey ! my friend jim how you can say that kamasutra is our culture you are looking to only one side of it, you are not looking to the richest culutre of the world where lord rama, lord krishna were born. Still as compare to live in relationship or love marriges the percentage of arrange marriges is far better this is only beacuse arrange marrige give you security and trust, while in live ins we have seen that couples broke over a minute dispute which can be solved but is not so in arrange marriges.

According to me no not at all. As its just killing and spoiling our Indian culture and heritage. This type of relationship spoils the life of girls mainly as in future they becomes unable to decide what they should do with their life. Should they marry and develop their family or not ? if they marry will their life be as normal as it should be.

Hi this is Jarold...I will go to marriage life..Because our wife will care more about us than anyone..Other relationship means just they will look us and say hai. But our wife will care more about us and she will live for us.So marriage life is best than other relationship.

Live in relationship has become todays trend. It is a fact that this has stareted in India also. But it will never hav a value of a married life. Married life is really a commitment you make with your life partners. But in current world if you see marriage also has become a live in relationship. It is like a ship, which can even sink in between or it can reach the shore. If we see in both cases we don't have any guarantee of the life.

Everything has its pros and cons. But according to me the advantages of marriage are much more than those in live-in relationships. It is not always necessary that two unknown individuals marry each other. If one wants to understand the other person there are many other ways rather than going in for live-in relationships. They can meet each other regularly and speak their heart out. Only when they feel comfortable should they marry. Thus, the security and commitment from both parties can be assured in marriage as well as disadvantages of live-in relationships can be done away with. Marriages are better than live-in relationships.

i think so this live-in relation does not suits our cultural heritage. only the married life will give us the full comfortability. a live-in relation is like a ship without a radder. only when he or she gets married they will understand the real life. this life alone gives them life long support and security. this life alone makes them to face the society boldly.

i just want to comment on "Azeez said: (Mon, Jul 19, 2010 02:23:40 PM" . he's bike example
azeez think yourself as the bike , and someone bought u now that guy is replacing u because u have some flows or defects. that time you r not the subject n u become the object. if u r thinkin for others ,others will also think of u.
in india marriage is not always the love ,it's about understanding and accepting others with there flows.one should peep in his own mind ,before commenting on others. i think in live in relations such respect will not be there. and so my support is to "marriage"

In my opinion live in relationship is not better than marriage. Like science rules live in relationship applies to ideal world. But it never has been the perfect and ideal. In live in rel. If one partner betrays the other one the other will be helpless then. He/she can't do anything about it. Marriages are the most secure method. It gives you the right to speak against the partner who deceives. And it supports our culture and makes life disciplined. One learns being responsible.

So I support the marriage.

friends according to my point of view live -in relationships are more better as compared to that of marriages because in live-in relationship we get proper time to understand a person .and after spending proper time with a person you can know that this person can adjust with you or not .He or she is capable to understand you or not and many more things like that .But in case of marriages you do not have that option whether a person supports you or not love you or not you have to be with that person because you have made a comitment and a lawful relation. And rest depends or varies on a person thinking that what type of person they actually need.

As Vimal has said: A relationship works out on the trust factor. Marriage or live-in-relationship both has its pros and cons. In marriage you marry a person and settle down. It depends on the partners how the relationship between them works out to. Many marriages have happy endings and many dont even last for a month. It is same in live-in-relationship as well. Both can either have happy and sad endings. According to me the need for today in a country like India is that we take the positives of both the cases. For eg: A guy and a gal should meet officially in presence of their families, and families should also try and give them comfortable time and space to understand each other. They should spend some quality time with each other to try and understand each other. Also families should see to it that they should not force their children to marry before the right age as it hampers the relationships as many individuals are not matured enough to understand their partners.
