I have read that "Marriage provides the slender, silver threads that help hold a couple together during trying times". It is a physical demonstration of your promise that your spouse can count on you for love, emotional support, and someone to depend on.

I don't know if it's offensive...marriage is one of those things that everyone has their own ideas on.
I am getting married next year - this isn't really a secret to anyone on here, as I've mentioned it several times in other threads. Now, I'd like to think that I'd proven myself as someone to love, give emotional support, and someone to depend on before I gave my fiancee the ring and proposed. For me it is a way to publicly and religously unite ourselves, a display for our family, friends and God.
But that's just me, and that's just the thing - I don't think anyone should be offended if someone else is "for" or "against" marriage.
