Realistically speaking, marriage
has changed greatly throughout its long existence. Nevertheless, the most
important bond of a married couple is love.
Besides love, the commitment and desire to spend time and share experiences
is the basis of a real marriage. However, nowadays it seems there are other
aspects involved in the marriage institution.
According to recent statistics in
Spain, people prefer to get married than to stay single. Perhaps, during these
harsh economic times, it is easier to cope as a team than trying to face them
alone. A part of this is the fact that in our current times, married couples
have more advantages than those who are not married. Furthermore, the
development of marriage and society have improved the balance between men and
women.
Clearly the biggest change to
former times is that people of the same sex have the possibility to marry. Spain
is one of the few countries that allows this. Previously, the homosexual
community could not publicly show affection to each other. Nowadays, they have
the same rights as heterosexual couples. They can live their lives as they
please.
To sum up, many things have
changed and developed but the most important things is the fact that a marriage
must have love, commitment, intimacy and passion to survive. This has not altered
in the last 30 years and will never change.
