Food for talk - marriage

Food for talk is our new session of posts to this blog. It brings you lots of ideas so you can become a great conversationalist. The topic today, and its Valentine's day, is marriage. Think of your answers to the questions below and watch the video to find out more about marriage and maybe to change some of your ideas. :)

What do you think of marriage?

1. Are you for or against trial marriages i.e. living together outside marriage to test your compatibility?
2. Do you think that marriage should be for life? Should divorce be made easier or more difficult?
3. Why do you think that the divorce rate has become so high in Britain and many other countries?
4. Is it better to marry someone of the same educational, social, cultural and racial background?
5. Is it better to marry someone of approximately the same age? Should the man be older than the woman?
6. How important is the religious aspect of marriage to you? Which aspects are more important, if any?
7. Should it be legal to marry more than one partner at the same time?
8. Should it be legal to marry someone of the same sex? Should marriages between gay and lesbian partners be recognised by the church?

In this funny, casual talk from TEDx, writer Jenna McCarthy (click the link to watch with subtitles)shares surprising research on how marriages (especially happy marriages) really work. 

One tip: Do not try to win an Oscar for best actress.

I am sure you have just had lots of food for talk.
So, go find somebody to talk. :)
