Origin of the marriage
Fancy that, men were the first one who declared that marriage is an obligatory phenomenon for relationships. It is common nowadays that they are the women who are thirsty for marriage, which are crazy about wedding dress and the day when they will say "I do". But a few people know that it was a man the first one to create marriage. Who knows why nowadays they are extremely afraid of the thing they created themselves. Nowadays men are like the victims women hunting for. They are the women who want to get married and men do their best in order to escape the traps and remain free.
As usual, men created a thing they are afraid of. So, basing on this: who is the one who never knows what he needs? But it is not a question of importance for this article. The question of importance is the origin of the marriage. So, long, long ago there was a man who was in love with a woman. He was crazy about her and wanted her to love him. And she did, did love him, but it wasn't enough for a man. He wanted everyone know about she is in love with him and she belongs to him. So, a vivid man's imagination told him to mark his woman as a woman that belongs to him.
At first it was some stuff typical for a man. That stuff was given to woman and she had to wear it as a sign that she is in love with him. With the lapse of time that stuff was common for giving and it was an indication that woman belongs to certain man and no one is allowed to court her. That was the first form of marriage. As you can see it is a common desire of man to say "It is mine and no one is allowed to touch it". This is how it was at first, but times changed and the form and nature of marriage were also changed, soon, the ring became a common indication that woman is not free and that she has a man who is in love with her.
With the lapse of times a lot of things were changed though the idea of a man as of the one who makes his choice remained unchanged. There are a number of historical examples that reveals us the whole nature of the marriage. They were the men who made their choices and there was no right for woman to express her opinion. For a very long time woman was the one who was chosen but not the one who was allowed to choose. Most marriages of ancient times were contracted without woman's agreement. So, it is not wonder that a day came when women stroke against such order.
Nowadays thing are different. Though, as usual women are not able to recognize the high time when it is enough of striking. Today women has a right to make their own choices though they are so crazy about this opportunity that they made a choice not to get married until they become an independent women. A way to independence is a rather long way, and it is often happens that by the time woman feels ready to get married there is no man ready to marry her. From one extreme to the other.
