Why people get married?

people get married because they love each other, they want their life together till the end. just like what i did. i fell in love with a man whose in my dream did not expect that he will be my lifetime partner.. we got married and now happily living together with 2 kids. they say its destiny... if you are destined to get married, you will and if not , you will not.

I don't have other reasons.I get married because my friends get married and I don't want to be a special one.I also think getting married or not is personal choice and it's common that many people don't get marriage now.Even our country's law doesn't have this clause to force people to get married,so it's personal business.Therefore, I don't think there is an exact and right reason, after all different people have different views on marriage.

I think that people get married for all those reasons and others as well. For instance a guy gets a girl pregnant, U.S. citizenship (or any other capatalist countries citizenship for that matter), status i.e. not just being like everyone else but being better than others, financial convienience (tax breaks, insurance coverage), financial gain (gold digging), and perhaps the most illusive of reasons for marriage: LOVE (awwwwww). I'm sure there are more reasons, "eharmony said we were compatible", "we both like dogs", "it was Vegas and we were drunk", "I've been stringing her/him along for ten years and now I have terminal brain cancer", arranged marriage. When your friend cited evolution as a reason to tie the knot I immediately thought of kundalini and tantric meditative union, or maybe your friend got tired of being shallow or pretending to be shallow to fit the social expectation of the average American male. I think it depends on the relationship. If both of you are disgustingly wealthy and want to look good infront of others than getting married for love isn't really the right reasoning for marrying is it? If two people met and it was love at first sight just like in the movies then marrying for money or citizen ship wouldn't be the right reasoning either. Unless of course the handsome prince was from France and wanted to permanantly reside in Colorado or something to that affect. The reality is marriage rarely occurs for a singular reason, neither do break-ups.

There are so many reasons that people get married. Marrying for love should be our only reason for marrying but often it isnt. People marry because of pregnancy, family pressures and social gain. Whatever your future holds for you, marriage should only be considered if love is truly in your heart.

Hi careguarden,Before,i dont know the reasons why people are getting married,because i got married at the age of 18.Now i can say that people got maried to enjoy life,and to have a happy family.It is a great feelings and fufillment having a happy family.Have a nice day,Good luck!

in order to survive the mankind scenario marriage is must..and the only way to make good society is only with the marriage..after marriage people get many responsibilities there by they won't be idle ...that's how world begins.. thank you !

Marriage is way of supporting each other, and completing what's incomplete in us. That's why we choose a partner and call them our better half. But these days, marriage is more of a suffering I guess.. Ha ha.. People just get more nightmares I think. Most of them who have got married tell me not to get married because of the problems they are facing. Many of them get married to escape the taboo and also fear of being criticised and made fun of. This happens to a lot of Indian women especially. They all have a programmed mind, that once they are 24 or 25, marriage bells should be ringing sooner or later. And once they are married, they must have a child within a year, or else again everybody will scrutinize them and keep questioning them why they haven't had a baby yet. It's all a prejudiced system.

Marriage is a legitimate companionship where two people from different background love, cherish and nourish their relationship. Again marriage is a responsibility and both the partners are responsible for its success. It should never happen out of force or pressure from the parents. A good marriage is like the fruit that ripes on the trees with the help of nature. People of two different families or culture come under the common platform called marriage. Happy mylotting.

I feel marriage brings two people their families closer together where they can share love, pain, difficulties, happiness, achievements and so many things together. They mentally undergo lot of changes in marriage which develops a feeling of responsibility in them, a goal to face life, to fulfill so many tasks which lies ahead, totally a challenge in life.

I don't think there is a exact and right reason to get married. It depends on what you are looking for. Some like the security of marriage while others feel like they don't need it and live together. Others do it because their cultural and religious beliefs factor into it. Some do it on the fly, they meet someone get caught up in the rush of infatuation and want to be together forever. For me I would only do it because I want to build a life with someone. However you don't need to get married to do that, maybe I just want to fit into society's norm, I'm not sure just yet. There used to be legal benefits to getting married but these days in some countries de facto relationships are treated the same as being married.

Hi care guarden: If you understand marriage as the way people tell to their social circle that they want to be with this person they love forever and that this feeling, the want that it last forever, probably to have children, etc, you probably understand the escence of marriage. I know you can tell that it's not necessary to get marry if you really love this person. I don't think so because, before marriage it's like an informal relationship to me and of course, there are the religious points of view. Marriage is God's blessing to the relationship for me. Thanks for asking us this question that has a lot of different points of views nowadays becuase now there are so many different ways people develope their relationships than before. Hope you are having a nice day. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays. Take Care. -Alvaro.

Due to the marriage,so we get married.hehe

Hi I got married because I loved my husband dearly and just wanted to spend the rest of my life with him.I wanted kids and a family to call my own. I am lucky to have all that as planned

i think marriage is a sublimate of the form of love, for each other, it is a responsible declaration to each others' love attitude, of course, it is a crazy and need an impulse , though the divorce rate is higher than before ,still have a lot of people willing to have a rise. in my opinion, divorce is no the marriages' false, but each other lacks of understanding and communication.

People get married because its the custom. But marriage is quickly going out of style. It used to be that women needed men to bring home the bacon, but that is no longer the case as most women have a career. Marriage no longer makes any sense! Think about this - Statistics say that 51% of all marriages fail! If 51% of new cars failed ( And let their passengers down on the road) How many people would buy a new car? Would you? By the same token, would you marry if you knew the marriage would only last a couple of years?

Get married is the best way to make a family of your own. With married you have more responsibility for growing up your family member.

Many people say that marriage is the tomb of love,but if there is no marriage,then we's love it is die without burial?aha.... i think that marriage is wonderful,of course ,single is also very good,marriage represents a family,the partner,the children.....single very happy,but marriage is another form of happiness,therefore,some people choose the former,some people opt for the latter

True love probably may exists for some people.

no matter what people say about not getting married and stuff, those that say u can have a perfect relationship without getting married, there is always that effect of partners feeling a full ownership of each other and only marriage and not just a nice relationship give you the 100% feeling of the bond. like they say, it is the only time when 1+1=1. it is also a wise idea, i would have to write a book ot i have to mention the wisdom behind marriage(a real proper marriage). many things disrupting our society social-wise would not if there were more marriages than mere relationships

From my opinion, marriage is a responsibility. Responsible to your wife as you have intimate with them. Take care them and provide them something to allow them enjoy their lives. Is a responsibility to your family as well to get a descendant for your race, religion or whatever related. I think the most important is to have somebody bring you to the grave when your life ended. At least to be remembered by descendant.
