Debate Speech on Marriage Dear adjustor, chairperson, teachers and fellow schoolmates, Today’s motion is “Marriage is an old fashioned custom and has little or no value in modern society.” We are the opposition side. We strongly oppose this motion. We have several strong reasons, each of them can alone make you convinced. First, all of us are no doubt human beings. We have an instinct to love and have a desire to be loved. All of us want someone to talk with and share with when we are beaten. Although our parents and friends can act this role, a companion of opposite sex is more touching, especially for teenagers. Since puberty, there is hormone secreted inside our body, it make us interested in opposite sex. Boys and girls fall in love with each other, start dating, then get married. After all they have a family and bring up children. This can be observed all around us, not because they are affected by each other, not because they are old-fashioned. It is because this is a life cycle for human, and also for many other animals. Each stage has its own vital value and a connection with the later stages. To live and reproduce is a fundamental purpose for all creatures. Man is no exception. This theory is independent of time, no matter people in the old society or modern society act alike. Second, apart from seeking satisfaction from materials, we also chase a healthy spirit. To have a companion to walk along with and provide mutual support is important. A steady close relationship gives us spiritual support. A marriage can keep this stable relationship both spiritually and legally. Our honorable opponent will no doubt argue that co-habitation also gives us the need for a companion and spiritual satisfaction. Besides, it enables us to end the relationship easily. We can change partners to find the one who really suits us, and then live together for the rest of life without getting married. However, our honorable opponent please bear in mind that co-habitation only has short term benefits. They will still get married one day. Many people in modern society treat co-habitation as a test for marriage. That means, after they find someone they think suit them, they will get married at last. They have never denied the value of marriage. Instead, they respect marriage as they think twice before getting engaged, they even do a test to ensure they are fully confident to get married. Besides, if co-habitation leads a life very similar to the marriage life, why don’t they get married? Is it because marriage has a legal responsibility and they are scared to bear this responsibility? If your partner dares to bear this responsibility, I am sure that your relationship cannot be lasting. Lastly, marriage supports a steady family as a nursery land for the children. If their parents’ relationship is good and stable, children will benefit. On the contrary, if their parents get divorced, children will suffer most. A lot of social problems may result. Nevertheless, giving up marriage is not the best way for the solution. What we should do is to choose a right partner right in the beginning, that is to find a partner who is willing to bear responsibility and willing to spend the rest of life with you no matter what difficulties encounter. So far, it is crystal clear that marriage is not an old-fashioned custom and has vital value in modern society. Smart you must know that a marriage is enjoyable and lasting or not depends on how you choose and handle it. That is why we strongly oppose the motion “Marriage is an old-fashioned custom and has little or no value in modern society
