Why do people get married? What is achieved from it?

Question

What if you're not as happy after marraige as you were before marraige.

Answer 1

It is for: you can't get rid of me so easy!

Answer 2

Those that get married for the right reasons are those who have found their soul mate and wish to spend the rest of their lives together, build a family, have children, etc. Those that get married for the WRONG reasons are those that try to fill a void, or wish to get out of their parents homes or get out of a bad relationship (they use marriage as an excuse for another issue).

If you are not as happy after marriage as you were before, then you definitely got married for the WRONG reasons and should make a decision to either spice up the marriage or do each of yourselves a favor and split so you can both find happiness.

And remember, you must be happy with yourself and your life before you include someone else to share your life, otherwise, it just won't work.

Answer 3

Marriage was established in order to define a family unit, to declare conjugal rights, expectations and joint property and thereby, to create a safe living environment for women, men and their children. It tells the rest of society that they may not invade, inherit, use or govern what does not legally belong to them. Whatever one brings into a marriage, that is what they will experience after the marriage. If one is unhappy as a single, marriage will not change that. It is a declared relationship that must be constantly worked at by both spouses to be successful and both must be equally COMMITTED to making it work. A stable, secure and functional family life can be achieved from a marriage with a dependability that cannot be had without marriage. Marriage is legally binding in the USA and involves religious vows in many cases.

Answer 4

Everything in life is not physical. Stress for instance is felt and not seen. Happiness is a state of the mind. Marriage is suppose to give you a mind of achievement and above all tranquility. An opportunity to display that inner good and tenderness.
Above all to add value to the continued existence of man through procreation.
The gains are so much that you cannot say it all on this medium.
When you are married you will recall and get so many more of the goodies. Make it pretty soon. Its a secret.
If you are not happy thereafter, then retrace your steps and ask if you are really prepared for it when you went in. Its like managing a nation. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Its really worth it. learn beforehand crisis management and learn to create a large heart to stomach so much.
In anycase there cannot be a solid relationship, if you do not get to disagree to agree and learn to appreciate one another.
All in all, its worth it. Elongate your life and make you glow with happiness and radiate in blessing. perhaps i have it so good...

Answer 5

to form a family and have children, which can be a wonderful thing when two people love each other and put each other first and are not selfish, marraiges fail due to selfishness on one partner or both, when two unselfish people marry and naturally are beautiful whole people marraige is a great insistution in our society

Answer 6

My husband and I got married because we love each other, passionately. We wanted to show everyone we were willing to commit to each other, and it makes us feel more 'together' like we are part of each other. As for whats acheived, a feeling of unity. When your not married it's easier for someone to leave, but because your married you have to work at it. I suppose it's a bit of a challenge.
As for feeling different after marriage, you shouldn't. You may feel more grown up, but if you love each other it should feel the same but not so pressured.
If your not as happy after, maybe you should assess why you really feel that way. Were you forced into marriage, has the other person changed?
it's a very debatable subject.

Answer 7

Wow, good question. I got married for a lot of reasons. The main one is that I found my husband to be the one person I wanted to spend all my time with, to do everything with. He feels the same way.

We have 2 great kids and we share a good life together. We are not rich nor well off but we are happy. We go see our kids games together, we play together, cry together and we laugh together.

I know whatever comes in my life, I want to have him right by my side.

Answer 8

At the end of the day it is only a legal document- there is too much emphasis on what is expected from being married...

Feelings should only get stronger-- something to strive for- No reason to be expecting anything other than complete commitment which marriage is

Answer 9

People get married to live life, to be one. Also to settle down. First you have to fall inlove then you should marry. Also marriage is to make the other partner hapy. When one is happy then the pther should be happy. I also believe that a couple should be married to be best friends. My soon to be husband is my best friend

Answer 10

People get married for different reasons, for some its to settle down with 1 woman remember their is a lot of sexually transmitted diseases out there so you are better off with 1 woman who you are happy with

Answer 11

I want to get married so that I can share a bond with just one man. I believe that majority of people don't want to be alone so they find someone they can spend the rest of their lives with. I hope that after I get married that myself and my husband can grow together but never forget why it is we married one another.
