Can men and women coexist without marriage is an interesting question because there are many unmarried people existing and now same sex married and unmarried are  existing.  There needs to be clarification to the question of what existing consist of.  Men and women can exist and survive without being married but there is a certain amount of civility that comes with marriage.

The institution of marriage does not seem to be going away with all of the problems that has been resulting to numerous divorces. Men and women think that if they are in love and want to spend their lives together, then they should get married. Marriage is an institution that put a lifetime stamp of partnership between the man and the woman.  If the partnership is not on an equal status, then more often than not, the woman or man will ask for a divorce.  As long as there is a way of getting out of marriage such as divorce, the institution does not seem to be fading.

Maybe divorce s a negative take  to such a joyous occasion but the divorce statistics are stating that divorce is on the rise and not just in Hollywood, California.  If there was no way of getting out of marriage, do you think that people would go into a door that they could not get out of.  The scenario would be silly to start something that can not be preempted.  That would not be the American way.  The ease in getting out of marriage has much to do with  why America leads most countries in  divorce rates.

Men and women can coexist without marriage and may be even happier for the freedom to rouse around to different partners as they please.  But human nature is going to dictate sooner or later a special feeling of loving and trust that may spring up between two people.  What would the happy couple do is they could not put a legal stamp on such a cohesive relationship?  The next logical step would be to be recognized in the church, the community and the country as a married couple sharing love and a life together.

Single people, however, seem to be happy with their lot in life.  They seem not to mind the movie going solo event or the eating out alone.  There are many single groups however that seem to want to connect  these happy single people in with the masses of married, unhappy and happy relationships  The online mating service Match.com now has applications  the allow the single person to look for a partner on line while on his or her smart phone.  Relatives are playing matchmakers.  They are innocently and   anxiously   putting  two people together who are not married so they can join in the joys of existing within each other's lives.

Men and women will contine to hold marriage to the highest level of consumating  a relationship as long as being alone remain  a state most people would not like to be in.  Like the popular song sings, "One is the loneliest number you will ever know;" no one likes to be alone without having someone to share their life with.  The internet has brought getting to the optimal state of marriage an easier step with the computer, monitor, keyboard and the mouse.  The dating sites have  grown to include Match.com, eHarmony to numerous other online dating meeting places.  Couples  connecting on these online dating sites  are shown on another media channel, TV, happy being together and looking like they have made their wedding vows.

The alone "factor" what ever that means to you will keep marriage as the institution not likely to go away anytime soon.  Can men and women exist without marriage, of course they can.  Can men and women exist without marraige and be happy, maybe they can.  The answer to the latter questions depends on the two couples in the relationship and how hard they work at keeping the marriage alive and viable.

Also, the ultimate reason that men and women should get married however independent is  because most people want to replenish the earth with good people of their good genes.  What other way to procreate than to seal the relationship deal with  marriage before the happy occasion or occasions.  As long as people continue to fall in love, marriage  will contine as a viable institution. June will continue to be the the month of weddings with  brides and grooms walking down the aisle existing forever hopefully  in holy matrimony.
