ECON 102 University of California Los Angeles The Marriage Pact Question
I’m trying to learn for my Micro Economics class and I’m stuck. Can you help?
How fun! Would you participate in the marriage pact? Do you think it would work?
(I actually also was wondering if this would work for finding friends? When we move on in our lives, we need to find those critical social connections that provide so much joy & meaning to our lives…with the way our society is structured…it seems harder to do these days…)

reply to this post :Making a marriage pact is something that people joke around with or watch in movies but barely think of it seriously. However, there have been real-life situations where people made such pacts and lived happily married. There are different reasons why people decide to get married. It could be out of love and companionship, while others settle at the “right” age. My notion about a marriage pact is that they could work, but I would not make such a vast commitment based on an understanding of a friend. I believe that marriage is a commitment between two people that should be based on love. Moreover, I am a great believer in love and hope that it works out for me. It would be nice falling in love with a great friend. This is because the connection is strong, and being in a relationship would benefit both parties. If it happens to be with the one that I made a pact with, which would be great, but not just because we made the pact. I believe that love is about a more profound and meaningful connection between two people. By being together, the couple shares experiences, grow together and makes beautiful memories (Srivastava, 2018). Consequently, I would not engage in a marriage pact with a friend because I think it will not ultimately work, and I would get married for the wrong reasons.
I believe that friendship is an essential aspect of life. Having a friendship pact would be great in retaining bonds that have been created over time. Through the bond, individuals aid each other in various situations they encounter and provides them with the assurance that they are not alone. I, however, think that people do change, and it would be unfair to get stuck to a friend that you do not have the same values because of a pact. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate aspects that each person shares with the other to determine if the bond should exist or not (Srivastava, 2018). I believe that friends come and go, and the length of a friendship does not determine how people bond or connect. A marriage pact founded on friendship contributes to the marriage lasting longer and having a high success rate.
here is the EXAMPLE REPLY for you : I also agree with your definition of marriage. It is true that it is a commitment–a huge one, actually. By getting married, both parties commit to being by one another’s side through thick and thin, through good and bad times. Being married to someone I would consider my best friend is really important to me because I would like to be able to spend my life with someone who I’m in love with and want to tell everything to. I also agree that having a marriage pact with a friend is possible, but not for me. I, too, would believe it isn’t the right reason to get married to someone,
