Zamb, I disagree. If you had said there will always be a need for monogamy I would agree. But there has never been a need for a binding legal agreement to spend your life with someone. You probably mean marriage in a religious sense, but right now marriage is more of a legal institution than a religious one.

There seems to be a whole lot of generalization and dumbing down going on. like I said earlier when this massive derail was just about to begin, there are as many types of weddings as there are people getting married. I can't believe we are actually discussing this following someone's attire to a wedding presumably no one else here went to or knows anything about (except Mike's grandpa).

there are a whole lot of benefits that are in marriage, at least when its respected, that dont exist outside of its boundaries
Also the upliftment of monogamy and the downplaying of marriage is really weird to me.
there is a part of me that wouldn't have minded being a polygamist, but then, that have a set of problems I wouldn't want to deal with.
If one is going to be in a committed monogamous relationship, why is there a reluctance, or at least a downplaying of the legal aspects of it?“You know,” he says, with a resilient smile, “it is a hard world for poets.”

Originally posted by zamb View Postwell this is debatable, an agreeing or disagreeing all depends on the source you determine to be authoritative in these matters...........
If you're talking about marriage as an institution that includes polygamous and monogamous relationships well documented societies without it also abound. In other words I don't see what kind of debate we can have...Selling CCP, Harnden, Raf, Rick etc.

I think you misunderstood my position
I am not saying societies don't of hasn't existed without marriage, or that polygamy doesn't exist or whatever.
my original argument is that marriage is as old as human civilization, and as long as human beings exist there will always be the need to marry.
I am not saying we cannot lived without or never lived without the institution or different forms of it. I am saying the institution is as old as human civilization itself and will continue to exist because human being will always have the desire to do so,
Amidst the failures of the institution in modern society there is no greater pledge that one can make to a person they love and want to be with than the pledge of marriage...........
Originally posted by Fuuma View PostNot really because polygamy is present in certain societies to this day. I mean are you gonna tell me South Africa's president is a figment of our collective imagination? There is no debate, a large number of societies and individuals have existed either with a mix of polygamy and monogamy or only with polygamy....

Moreover you would have to define what constitutes "human civilization" to say that marriage is concomitant with its existence; depending on the criteria selected it would be quite possible to retort your claim is demonstrably false. As it stands it is merely quite certainly false, which is at the same time infinitely and barely much better.
Terms like always are quite problematic, especially when viewed through the prism of anthropology and even more so when they're applied to the (heavily discounted) future.Selling CCP, Harnden, Raf, Rick etc.
