Today in our country, a common marriage of a man and a woman has become a civil marriage, that is, a type of cohabitation, housekeeping, procreation, etc., which does not imply legal registration of the relationship of a couple of people. We can talk about the reasons why civil marriage has become popular for a long time - this is the loss of a traditional marriage, which is fixed by the state as one of the main legal moments of a person’s existence, former significance in the minds of citizens, the rather high cost of the procedure itself and very often people's reluctance to bind oneself by any obligations. Indeed, there are a lot of reasons why people choose a civil marriage, but let's try to figure out what the advantages and disadvantages of a civil marriage are for each member of such a union. Civil marriage has many adherents, but no less ardent opponents, so it is extremely important to understand what advantages and disadvantages each member of such a peculiar family does not make mistakes.
The advantages of civil marriage are often attributed to the opportunity to get to know each other better, so to speak to “get used to” the people who enter into it. It is worth noting that this opportunity really helps many to understand themselves and understand how comfortable it will be to coexist with a chosen partner, but in this case a situation may arise when the slightest problems, which will necessarily arise, are not solved correctly from the point of view of traditional family relationships, and end with the only result - parting.
The second advantage is saving money. No matter how trite it may sound, but today money plays a huge role in every aspect of life and the creation of a family is no exception. Indeed, the traditional marriage procedure requires quite large expenses, the size of which is often burdensome for people entering into a marriage , especially young people. In addition to the lack of need to spend money on a wedding, people living in a civil marriage often attribute the possibility of “cheating” to the state as its material advantages. For example, many women receive benefits intended for single mothers, although they have a fully working and beloved, albeit “unformed” husband.
Having tried, you can, of course, find other positive aspects of the absence of a “passport stamp”, but let us dwell on a brief description of what the disadvantages of civil marriage most often become an obstacle to a decision to enter into such a relationship:
- Legal insecurity of relations and material aspects of coexistence;
- Lack of a full sense of responsibility among partners for each other, as well as for joint children;
- Ethical and moral aspects, often manifested due to the lack of official confirmation of the marriage.
- The lack of a full understanding of what a family is for children born to parents who do not consider it necessary to tie the knot.
Of course, in spite of the foregoing, each person decides how to build his life. The only thing I want to say is the factor that any decision should be made by a couple together, balanced, and conscious. Any relationship should be comfortable psychologically, and only love and mutual understanding can help to achieve this, and the presence of the notorious “stamp” in the passport does not play such a big role. Only people who are able to sincerely appreciate and love their loved ones are able to build a strong family, no matter what word it is called.
