people marrying for the sake of companionship...

I think that there are alot of people out there that get married for lots of reasons.I think that some people get married for the sake of saying that they have a partner aswell as they are in a position the same as their friends as alot of them are also married.I think that even when i am really old i will still want the fun in the bedroom.

When you're younger, you tend to be idealistic and your concept about love and marriage becomes idealistic too.. if you really find the ideal marriage, then congratulations you belong to the lucky 10% ...If you get older you tend to be more practical.. and when medical conditions starts setting in.. companionship becomes a need irregardless of compatibility.. In our country today, check the local news at the classified adds section, you would already see wanted Filipina Brides.. to care for old retiring foreigners.

For me, I can't imagine marrying someone just for the sake of companionship. Some says so probably they are at the denial stage that despite of their age, they're still capable of feeling in love. So they have to say that they just got married for companionship. And you're right, if in case there's a truth in that, someone must met somebody that will truly in the same stage. But infidelity on the other side can also be happened for those marriage having a long age-gap, or let's say they really love each other, but incapable for doing what a couple usually do. So infidelity comes for so many reasons.

dear cutie, i see a lot of situations like that, marrying for companionship and for convenience. but what if they are both aging but the reason for marrying is they have fallen in love with each other, do you think the younger ones would say hurray? i guess they would laugh at them.. might even ridicule or mock them due to their age. but they deserve to be happy as well, dont they? have a nice day. ann

I don't think that I could marry someone just for companionship. I have to feel a deep abiding love for someone to want to spend the rest of my life in wedlock to them. It is important to have companion relationships with close friends. If physical desire and heartfelt emotion is not there, I could not be with them in the state of matrimony.

That's what I'm deliberating right now, I want to get married because I want to be with someone when I get older. I don't want to grow old alone, i think that would be really sad and kind of scary. I used to be so picky when I was younger, I always wanted to be 100% sure if I really love the person and want to be in a relationship with him. All my relationships failed, turned out all the men I picked were not really ideal. I don't go for looks, in fact most of the men I fell in love with were kind of ugly, its just that, infidelity is always the issue. Right now, I just feel that I'm really running out of time. I don't have a bf but thinking of getting married just for the sake of companionship.

Well, marriage is just a social event created by human beings, but that doesn't mean that marriage is mandatory to have companionship. There are many couples that choose to live together without passing through the step of marriage . Many people get desperate and just marry anyone for the sake of not being alone, but I think that is even more lonely, as you might be forced to be with someone you don't really like that much just for the sake of not being by yourself. If there's a special someone for us, we will find it eventually. I did it

I don't know if some people will really marry for the sake of companionship. But for me I won't marry for that reason. I will marry her because I really love her and I want to be with her for the rest of my life. If I want to have a companion then I can always buy a dog. I don't think its an appropriate reason for marriage that we are alone and we want someone to accompany us. That's ruin the real essence of marriage which is love.

i would not marry for the sake of companionship. I would marry the person because of love. I can't risk my life living with a person because he / she will be there to cheer me up, to fix the bed, to clean the toilet, to sit with me as i watch my favorite tv show...
