``One correction here. Hindsism is not the oldest religion in the world. The oldest religion in the world is Islam which dates back to Adam (peace be upon him), the first human.``
This guy always sounds like he is straight out of George Orwell`s 1984. He actually believes in all the tripe he spews out. Fodder for dictatorship, such people.

The purposes of marriage are as follows:
(i) The society and an accustomed way of life has to be preserved.
(ii) The individual sexual urges have to be satisfied.
(iii) Individuals have to learn and teach the habits of taking care of some one other than oneself.
(iv) The need to feel important has to be satisfied.
(v) Feeling of loneliness that is generated by accumulating experience that one day everyone must die has to be alleviated.
(vi) A technique to survive the longest possible time has to be used.
Consistent work to achieve above aims has made humanity the most influential species on the earth.
All this is OK if the system which includes marriage allows for self-fulfilment in addition to the above aims.
Hindus have behaved somewhat differently from others in regard to marriage stability largely because of the laws that have obtained in India. As the laws and expectations from the protections therefrom change, combined with the overpopulation of earth by humans, the emphasis on marriage will change. The evolved path does depend on massive wars and other events like an asteroid strike.
The sharing of common human goals across the globe will make people in different lands similar to each other.

Urstruly,
``The oldest religion in the world is Islam which dates back to Adam (peace be upon him), the first human.``
Very true.
Adam was Allah`s `first-cut` human design!!

One correction here. Hindsism is not the oldest religion in the world. The oldest religion in the world is Islam which dates back to Adam (peace be upon him), the first human.

Two poetic quotations about wife and marriage
homemaker, lover, companion and friend ( Kalidas`s play character talking about his wife)
`` now you are wife and husband for life like sky and earth forever , this is the beginning of journey but there is no end, let gods help you on this great joyful sorrowful journey`` (Marriage hymns of hindus: ref. book Culture of India by French Author )
( I read this poetic reciation meaning and spirit beautifully worded: agree not much related to article, neither I am against Divorce if needed)
