why should we get married? there is no obligation to get married. we are not liable to anything if we don't get married. i think people get married because they have found a person whom they can share their rest of their lives. it is wonderful to know that there is someone that is meant for you. believe, and it will happen. and joy will be outpouring from your heart and life.

You should get married if you find married life is interesting to explore... for me, as of today my view on married life is like most people view on math... i don't find it interesting (yet), i'm not sure in the future my view will change or not.

No... i think marriage is a religious commitment. The whole legal formality is just because govt. want to make something become formal from something that was informal. If you believe in God, then to live together you need to be married, but if you don't believe in God, then you don't need to be marrried to live together.
Most of the time i see human to human interaction in three layers of rules...
-first is personal layer. In this layer, the rules were built by the person that directly involved in the interaction. In case of living together, if both party agree then they can do it.
-second is govt. layer. In this layer, someone else decided some rules on how human interact. In case of living together, some country allow them and some of them aren't. If both party who want to live together lived in a country that doesn't allow it, then they must obey the rule and get married. If the country make no rules about living together then they can continue to live together and not married.
-third is God/religion layer. In this layer, some unknown force make some other rules on how human can interact. If you don't believe in God then you can ignore this layer, but if you believe in God then you must obey the rules that dictate steps to be done if two people want to live together.

hi hammie I got married because I believed in the wedding vows and wanted to live with the love of my life for the rest of my life.Also being married has a lot of good things like your children are born in wedlock. If something happens to your hubby and hes ill and cannot work you with small children can get help for your family . to me being married is not just a legal formality but its also a religious formality. Also contrary to young peoples belief the revolving door crap of live togethers is worse in my eyes than someone divorcing as a divorce is an honest thing admitting a mistake was made. but living together has no legal help and some women seem to have kids from five different fathers and this is better than divorce? and they are none of them legitimate births.
where are there laws to help mere live togethers? there are none

Hatley I completely agree with you. When i took my marriage vows that is how i felt. I agree that the marriage provides protection for spouses if something were to happen. If a couple aren't married and just live together their would be problems if something happened to one of them.

The commitment of marriage is a big step. And it definitely shouldn't be taken lightly. It is a decision that will affect a person's life for a long time. A person needs to make sure that they are ready for that step and that they know what all that entails.

Yes it is important that we are married in the eyes of God. As he tells us in his word the Bible that individuals should be married in order to share the experiences that belong to a husband and wife. A couple are also protected with marriage if anything happens to one of them.

I agree with you. It's a wonderful feeling knowing that someone wants to spend the rest of their life with us.That they have asked us to be their wife. It is an amazing and wonderful feeling to have. It provides protection for a spouse and their family if something happens to one of them.

Marriage, for me, is just a formality but to others it's considered a legal form of living together with your partner. I think we get married because it's a symbol of you and your partner's bond with blessings from the people around you. Well, that's just my two cents.

Yes I agree with you. It is a legal form of living together and it provides protection for each spouse, as well as any children if anything were to happen to one of them. It's important though to think carefully before getting married. To make sure that we have found the right person for us.
