Southwestern College Marriage SUBMITTED TO Professor Salgado
IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF
INTRODUCTION TO Logic (Phil 103)

May 22, 2017 Throughout our lives we may sometimes never think about the social structures that were
set in placed that has helped improve society and the people in in. In marriage we have a concept
of two people coming together to form a bond that is supposed to last forever. Marriage is the
stronghold of the American society and without it social consequences will occur. If social consequences occur then society as a whole will become more disfunctional. We do not want this
important instiution to fall down or many people’s lives will be unorganized. There are people
who believe the word marriage should evaporate, that the word causes more friction than good.
Although this argument has a case, the research shows something different. Marriage is needed
in society to form a bond with two people that will ensure a safe haven for any family members. When I uses the word safe haven for the terms of a family, there are many ways that I can
go with this argument. One way is that the women feels more secure during a marriage than living with a person with just having a sexual relationship. According to Bruce Wydick from Christian Today women have a different sexual experience than men do. In the culture that we live today we often see media advertise the casulaness of sex as something that people do on a weekly
basis. Although it seems great in the real world we see women feeling hurt and starting to have a
negative image on themselves when they start to have casual sex. When two people have sex,
most of the time people start to become more emotionally connected together. Marriage allows
the women to feel safe as their is a comittment to eachother with the promises that were made. In
cohabitation, there is nowhere as strong of a comittment that a boyfriend can offer than what a
husband can offer. “The comittment of a man to a women with whom he has a sexual relationship is not prudery, it is social justice”(Wydick 2016). “Married men are more successful in work as well, getting promoted more often and receiving
higher performance appraisals” (Waite 2010) The benefits go by far farther than what the eyes
can see, but there some of advantages of getting married that you might never think of. One of
the advantages that people of getting marriage is that they are healthier. According to Linda
Waite people who get married are less likely to have physical problems. This also includes that
married people are least likely to develop any mental problems. This is because you have a person that is constantly there for you and is always on your side. Unlike marriage cohabitation does
not present the commitment that people need. In Waite’s findings we also see that a survey shows
that people who are married are more happy overall. We usually think that people who are only
with one person for the rest of their lives, are usually unhappy. We continue to see with the evidence that we are analyzing is that people are happy knowing they are married and know that the
person will be beside them through whatever that may come. Also in Waite’s studies we see people that are married earning higher wages than people who are not married. We see an 11 percent
increase in males and also couples do better together because there are two family incomes. With
the two family incomes we see families who are able to afford the necessities to becoming successful. People tend to work harder towards a goal if they have people counting on them to pay
the rent or to put food on the table.
One reason why marriage is slumping is because of the expectations of marriage. According to Time magazine, “‘In the early years, you fight because you don’t understand each other. In
the later years, you fight because you do. We see that marriage has high expectations before you
really understand what you are getting into. People are often having fantasies of what marriage is
and what is should be like. Unfotruntatly not everyone is geared up to face the challanges that marriage has to offer. But what the studies do show is that if you are able to go through that battle, you will be much happier with your spouse towards the end of the marriage. We often think
that we would have the majority of battles in marriage when we get older because we might be
tired of the person. It is actually the opposite. You are still getting to know and understand your
spouse and it takes time to do so. There are others who do not want to go through this and that is
where we get many people who become divorced. I use a divorce-stress-adjustment perspective to summarize and organize the empirical literature on the consequences of divorce for adults and children (Amato 2000). We see here that
there are variance consequences when it comes divorce in a family. In the book we see that some
people have an upside of divorce but the children have a downward spiral because of the loss of
a parent. We see that divorce has been steadily on the rise, and this is something that is hurting
society today. Marriage needs to be constant and changing your lifestyle will affect you and your
family. The adults in the divorce might be happier with someone else, but it does not have any
positive affects on the kids. This study shows that divorce is something selfish between the
adults because they are the only ones who benefit from this. “However, people in self-assessed
good marriages are even happier than the literature suggests”(Journal of Happiness 2016). Marriages that are happy are even happier than what they say. Whenever we come across a problem
in marriage, we need to attempt to work through it instead of choosing to get a divorce. In the studies presented, it shows that marriage is important and helps regulate society.
There are people who point towards the steadily divorce rate for the reason to get rid of the institution of marriage but this would cause grave harm to many people. Without marriage there will be consequences within the family and your daily lifestyle. We need to make sure this does not
happen or else society will never achieve where it needs to be. Amato, P. R. (2014). The Consequences of Divorce for Adults and Children: An Update.
