Please correct and give an opinion on this piece of writing. Thank you in advance.
For centuries the institution of marriage has been a cornerstone of a traditional society, an undeniable establishment providing the best environment for family. However, in the recent times many have questioned the indispensability of marriage. Some have even gone that far as to say it is a unnecessary relict of the past, something society can do without in today’s liberal world. I disagree with such conviction.
First of all, I believe that marriage and the obvious commitment that it entails, is very valuable and beneficial in general. In some way it does, or at least it should, help preserve the relationship between a man and a woman. Marriage brings along a sense of responsibility that can help create a stronger bond between partners. Secondly, I am convinced that married couples are more likely to create a good environment for their offspring. Certainly it is very beneficial for children’s development that they know they have a mum and dad.
Above all, there are also moral and civilisational arguments which speak for the marriage. For centuries, it has been an institution that provided stabilisation and cohesion in the society. It introduces some kind of order that is so important for us human beings and our civilisation to thrive. The marriage therefore can be regarded as progress. I do not see a point why we should abandon this fundamental institution , as it would in fact constitute rather a regress than a progress.
I am aware that in our contemporary world, when traditional values are shunned and new boundaries crossed, people will be more and more inclined to reject the idea of being with one partner for life. Little do they realize that such attitudes may lead to a total decline of our civilisation.
