Inspired by a recent dialogue with a teenage girl about marriage. More precisely, about its necessity in modern society. And it turned out... “Most of the girls around me think that there is no need to get married at all, but why should I? Restriction of freedom of movement, the right to choose food, clothing, interests. The need to adapt to your partner, to please him, because at school they said that the man is the main one in the family.” Is it really possible that such components as stability, emotional return, protected motherhood began to fade into non-priority positions? At school they forgot to talk about the main thing, about why a person needs a family? The more in demand, needed and valuable a person feels, the more chances and strength he has to overcome possible loneliness. Everyone wants to be loved. Love in the family eliminates loneliness and makes it possible to fully accept a person. It is the family that provides a person with all the resources for self-actualization. In addition to the need to be loved, every person strives to love himself. In youth, the decision to get married is caused by the desire of young people to dream of long-term, spiritual and physical intimacy. Here the family acts as a marriage and creates an opportunity for the manifestation of feelings. Sooner or later, the desire to have children, the desire to be parents arises. In addition, the conveniences of family life are manifested in joint housekeeping and comfortable housing. Not so long ago, a law was passed on marriage at an early age - from 14 years old. Discussions on the topic of early marriages arise more and more often. Although people have encountered this phenomenon in their lives, they do not consider it important until it affects them directly. I suggest that you take part in the survey and find out how modern youth and older people feel about this phenomenon.
