Getting Married

Some people say that marriage is meaningless nowadays and in the past, it was something that was much more important. It has been said that the increase of celebrities getting married and divorced multiple times has taken away the sanctity of marriage, and as a result, younger people no longer take marriage seriously. This has also been said to result in far more divorces, and far fewer marriages as young people decide to skip marriage and live together and start a family before thinking about tying the knot.
