why get married?

Answer 1

To get divorced lol

Answer 2

When you find that special person you want to share everything with, then you will not have to ask that question.

Some people get married for the stability. To know you will always have someone to care for and be there for. Some get married just to have someone take care of them and to always be there for them.

There is a lot of legal reasons to get married for also.

But the main reason to get married is because you love the person, and to take that next step of the relationship. It is not just a religious ceremony, it is declaring your love and devotion to that one person. It doesn't matter what stipulations you put on it with things such as prenuptial agreements, you are still saying "hey I love this person, and I want to spend the rest of my life with them".

These are just my opinions, and my thoughts on the matter.

Answer 3

I"m married, and i love waking up next to my husband every morning, and i love spending time with him, and i always have him to count on when i have no one else, i can always talk to him like he was my best friend, i can laugh with him about stupid stuff, and we can always depend on each other through thick and thin. The feeling of having someone there is just a really great feeling, even if you go through a rough time, you will always find your way back to each other and work it through. I don't believe in divorce, and the people who do get divorce, are just giving up.

Answer 4

It has already been answered very beautifully by a lot of the people here, but I just wanted to add that marriage is a bond made by God.
When you meet the right person, you want to marry that person, because you want to feel the closeness. You want to make that person yours.
The face of your loved one is the first in the morning and the last face that you see at night.

Answer 5

To have some one to always understand you, love you, take care of you when you are sick and down. Have someone that can always make you smile. I know a lot of marriage don't last forever but sometimes that's just the way it is, sometimes you just have to give your self a chance to live further then expected and enjoy it.... yeah there will be mistakes but listen to your heart and learn from the mistakes! Marriage is a beautiful thing maybe not to jump into it but to at least give it a chance!

Answer 6

To have a legal lifetime relationship with someone. To have legitimate children. To not have to worry about catching some disease or going from one relationship to another. The only problem is that people today don't seem to want to marry and those who do don't understand it is a lifetime comittment.

Answer 7

Marriage is an institution. It is a symbol. It is a commitment. It is a religious sacrament.
Some people know they are in love and know that they are commited without making it official.
As to the institution part...that is so you can share health insurance benefits, have equal share of property and children, get tax breaks, inherit property, change your wife's last name, and follow the social norm. etc...
If you are religious it is a way to vow your love before god.
And the big party you get to throw to celebrate your love.
Lots of cultures don't have marriage or are polygamous and they are okay. In America we have limited love to certain people and our divorce rate is incredibly high.

Answer 8

i got married last year and i can tell you that everything will change. it is my greatest suggestion or advice to not get married. besides it is just some religious institutional ceremony that creates invisible lines. really, i regret getting married. and i even asked if i could postpone the wedding, but she wouldn't have that and she wonders why i say you never listen to me...

Answer 9

if you are asking this question then don't, when you can't think of anything you'd rather do than marry that person thats when you start making a list of all the practical should or shouldn't reasons to do it.
