Why be married?

First of all, here is a quote from Mae West "Marriage is a great institution, but I'm not ready for an institution yet" My answer to your question is in six parts:- 1.Because you're in love. Although I know that love shouldn't be the only reason to marry, it's a very important part of most successful relationships. 2.To make a commitment. A couple decide that they want to make the commitment to be with each other forever, knowing each other's faults and failings. 3.It's part of your culture. The ceremony of marriage is an iimportant part of some cultural or religious beliefs. 4.To start a family. When a couple have enjoyed a safe, happye and committed relationship for some time and feelthat marriage is the best environment in which to bring up children. 5.To celebrate. Because as a couple you want your family and friends to share with you in your happiness and commitment as a couple. 6.It's the right time. You have a solid and secure relationship and it feels like the right next step.

I do see all the issues with the people that are losing out at this marriage thing. I am married and this August it will be 8 years. I love being married. Its the best for me. I think when people divorce, one of the people is not completely dedicated to the marriage. It is hard work being married and you should never expect to change one thing about the other and you just work at growing with each other and learning each other so you compliment one another, not shut one out or be mean.

Hi, There may be different opinions for this topic.Traditional people or theory says that marriage is must for the life for both male and female.While new generation believes in live in relationship.No responsibilities and no commitment.Just freedom and enjoyment. Nice time.

Marriage is sacred. If you consider your relationship that sacred then you should do it by marriage. The ultimate prof of faithfulness is marriage. If you really love a woman, you should marry her.

well marriage is very subjective.. you can get married and u ll not know hw its working out until society and ur family ppl notice.. i think wen u meet the rite person (believe me thats d hard part).. bein faithful is something which is in a person instilled behaviour dats i feel one shud start off with a live-in relation to get to knw each other idiosyncrasies (other inner secrets) then the idea of marriage shud come.. in my country arranged marriages are very common and thats the result we end up makin compromises in the long run cuz of family pressure..bt yea our divorce rates are mch lower than foreign countries.. in a way good in a way bad..nowadays we are all mature enough to kno wat makes us happy and what we must do to keep it dat way,

People in my country get married so that they can buy a house, because here you have to be married to buy a house if you are under 35 (I know my country sucks). So many young couples rush into it so they can leave their parents but in the end they struggle with bills and mortgage payments and get up getting into a lot of financial difficulties, hence many young people in my country are pretty much bankrupt. I think people get married just for rights and incentives that come with it but overlook the responsibilities and obligations. As for me, I plan to migrate elsewhere and work till I am pretty well off then start a family.

There are a ton of legal benefits that the couple gets when they are married, which includes being able to see your loved one in a hospital, tax breaks, insurance through your spouse's employer, etc. Some people also want their relationship to be acknowledged on a higher level. A lot of people feel that marriage is the last step in a relationship. There are people out there who do have a hard time coping and end up divorcing. I think that is why people need to make sure are compatible, and that they know how to work on their issue. Even so, divorce happens. It is a part of life, as sad as that is.

Maybe they just realized their mistake later on when they're already married. That's why i wanna know who i'm with. I wanna know who they really are so when we get married i'll know her tendencies so we wouldn't have a major problem that could lead to divorce.

For me, being married is like asking GOD for his guidance and committing yourself with someone that you'd want to live with the rest of your life. And as mention above, because you're inlove that you want to be assured that he/she can't leave you when the relationship gets rocky.

Well, that usually happens when marriage happens too fast. Thats why in a relationship, couple should take time to know each other, enjoy various activities like traveling, common interests and all, apart from just spending time together. Start living together and see how things going on for them when together. And then think of such serious topic. There need to be so much in a relationship than just love, there need to be faith, trust, hope, respect ....
