A traditional marriage
A traditional marriage is to be a happy result of the dating and engagement. It is to unite two persons' desires in material, emotional and sexual spheres. Actually what are the advantages and disadvantages of a family life? What are the reefs?
The advantages are that a woman and a man begin developing their common household, get a cozy house, give birth and raise the children. The very first and most harmful thought that everything is in vain; that you are doing it for your second half only (but you do not wish to get married) could become the first alarming call. I really hope that you are not that type of a person who leaves a spouse right at the wedding ark like the characters of Julia Roberts do, so, think over your decision very carefully.
Family relations depend on emotional closeness in a couple. If emotional energy begins to fly away, touching another person, so, it is a bad sign as well. Some people, especially the young one, used to think that a happy marriage is based on the harmonious intimate relations. So, the psychologists propose an opposite statement. An emotional connection produces harmony in every sphere of a family life. But the intimate harmony can not replace warmth, understanding, support, stability in a family. Actually, financial matters and stability seem to be very important in a family. And it is not a trivial and horrible influence of a modern society. Simply it is easier to have emotional or sexual relationships without having a marriage, but multiplication of a family wealth and raising the kids are the dominative factors of a marriage.
