Why marry?

Marriage may not be right for everyone. People don't have what it takes to stick to it and work out their differences anymore. First sign of trouble and they run for the nearest divorce attorney! It's ridiculous! For me, marriage has been what is best. I am married to my best friend and have been for thirteen years. Yes, there are times when we argue and don't get along but then we take the time to cool off and listen to each other's point of view. Sticking out the hard times has brought us closer than I thought possible. For me, when we first got together, I didn't think I could love him more than I did but as the years have gone by and we have worked out our differences, I find that I was wrong. I do love him more. The bond just grows stronger. I know that he will always be there for me and he knows that I am always there for him, no matter what. It's a wonderful thing to have someone steadily in your life that you can be completely honest with. That is why marriage is so important. Atleast, that is why it is so important to me. Sorry for the long answer!

I don't really know..I mean if you already live with a person and are already getting all the "advantages of being married"if you know what i mean...I don't know why people are always rushing to get married..I mean I want to get married one day..but no day soon thats for sure..I think too many people are rushing marriage now..

hi hollowheart! well it really depends. honestly, marriage isn't necessary. there are so many happy celibate people in the world. however, there is always a different kind of joy when you are married, and especially if you have kids. i am happy that i got married. kids are still yet to come to us, but we are very fulfilled as a couple. :-) take care and God bless you! :-)

marriage is bonding with your partner not only sexually but in all other respects,to be two seperate persons yet one.

this is actually very true. to most people it is psychological. they feel that getting married would make their respective partners stop chasing other "rainbows" LOL what they don't know, is that it doesn't change a thing. i overheard a couple talking, the girl said, "now, you are tied to me. and there is nobody else who can own you now." i never really understood why she said that. but as for me, i married my wife because i wanted to. we both deserved it. we owe it to ourselves. i married her because i voluntarily submitted my self to her, and not because she wanted me to tie me on her skirt.
