Is marriage a form of prostitution?

At least in the traditional sense?





Is marriage not a tradition? And if marriage is a tradition, why not practice marriage as it is meant to be: in it's traditional form. Why do people interpret marriage as they see fit when in traditional terms, it is what it is. I personally view traditional marriage (or simply, marriage) as a form of prostitution, but I know that many will disagree with me.Is marriage a form of prostitution?
Hey there Bluebeard's Wife! So you decide to change your name to Elbrus and use a different alias, eh? Cool! Marriage as a form of prostitution?! What in 'da jeepers are you talkin' about, girlfriend? Me thinks someone on this section has been reading too many Red Emma Goldman pamphlets in her spare time.Is marriage a form of prostitution?
A man who marries is generally looking for more than sex from his wife. And a woman who marries is generally looking for more than money from her husband. To refer to marriage as a form of prostitution is simply silly. Most people who marry want someone to share their lives with, to raise a family with, etc. They are looking for far more than just sex or money. It is ridiculous to compare it to prostitution.
Marriage


God's Original Design.--God celebrated the first marriage. Thus the institution has for its originator the Creator of the universe. ';Marriage is honourable'; (Hebrews 13:4); it was one of the first gifts of God to man, and it is one of the two institutions that, after the Fall, Adam brought with him beyond the gates of Paradise. When the divine principles are recognized and obeyed in this relation, marriage is a blessing; it guards the purity and happiness of the race, it provides for man's social needs, it elevates the physical, the intellectual, and the moral nature.
Because some cultures have evolved to realize that a ';marriage'; is a personal thing, between a couple that loves each other for their individual reasons, and they can make of it what they will.





I mean, if people disagree with you on your views of ';traditional marriage,'; maybe it means that ';traditional marriage'; no longer exists.
That's not a new idea. Germaine Greer said that way back in the 70s.





I disagree btw...and apparently, so does Gloria Steinen. That specific feminist who was notoriously and vociferiously anti-marriage through most of her life, settled down and married at the age of 66. She married the father of actor Christian Bale. She's now a widow after three years of marriage.
Marriage is what each individual couple decides to make it. No more, no less.





Being married to a gold digger is indeed prostitution. But there's no reason two people who are genuinely in love couldn't get the same title (';married';) and make something completely different of it.
No it is not. A wife or husband does not get paid by their spouse for anything. Everything is fifty fifty or at least in a working relationship it is. A prostitute will do whatever you like if you have enough money. A wife or husband may say no. No matter what you offer him or her.
THE TRADITION WAS THAT YOU MARRIED FOR LIFE AND BOTH WERE BOND TO IT......DON'T LET THE FACT MANY WOMEN IN PAST MAY NOT HAVE PUBLICLY BEEN VOCAL BECAUSE OF WHAT HAPPENS BEHIND CLOSE DOORS IS ANOTHER THING.....MY GRANDMOTHER LOVED MY GRANDFATHER AND SHE DID CATER TO HIM BUT HEAVEN FORBID HE DID ANYTHING OUT OF LINE BECAUSE ALL HELL WOULD BREAK LOSE....SO I GUESS IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT BOTH HAVE TO PAY A PRICE TO BE WITH THE ONE THEY LOVE FOR LIFE......IT'S ONLY PROSTITUTION WHEN ONE SPOUSE MUST CONTINUE TO PAY FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE OTHER SPOUSE AFTER THE DIVORCE IS FINALLY KINDA OF A FRIEND WITHOUT THE BENEFIT
I think it depends on why you get married. If you marry for love than it's not prostitution. If you marry for the benefits of being married then yeah it kind of is prostitution.
No, not at all it's a partnership with someone you love, or at least it should be


Gold diggers and marriages based on money is kind of like prostitution
Every sexual relationship where goods are exchanged (e.g. money, dinner and a movie, engagement ring) is prostitution.
Well, you're right about many disagreeing with you. No, of course not.
I suppose men all over the world are prostitutes when they receive the brides dowry?
I don't know, but when going through divorce a lot of women(not all though) act like prostitutes demanding to get paid.
it depends on why you get married
no.... of course not...
I don't get paid for services rendered and neither does my husband.


Guess not.
