Marriage.

My oldest cousin is looking forward to getting married because she is very much in love and wants to spend her entire life with her partner. However, I consider that marriage is a nonsense and a mistake for several reasons. First of all, love is a passionate affection between two people, therefore it is a two way thing, so it is completely unnecessary that a third person, in other words, the priest, blesses and makes official a union. Secondly, to sign a paper is not going to change your feelings for that person, neither to the better nor to the worse. And thirdly, although you are married, it does not necessarily mean that you two will stay together forever, since there are love stories which are destined to end. What would happen with you then if the person you love so much leaves you because things do not work anymore? The answer to this is quite clear. You would feel empty, you would be torn apart inside and the worst part is that you will be linked to him or her due to marriage. You could of course get divorced but divorce is a long and expensive process which brings a lot of problems and fights most of the time. All in all, be careful with marriage because it could turn the ring you give away or your partner gives you away into the chain which will asphyxiate you the rest of your life.
