Damn I've been asking myself that forever. At a time in America where gays are fighting to get married l'm fighting to end marriage. The fastest way to kill a great relationship is to get married.

In our society today, marriage is needed to get insurance benefits and that is about it. Back in the time of our parents and grand parents marriage was a life-long commitment. It was a vow you took before God and all your family and friends that the two of you would bind together forever and raise a family.

Now people live to gether w/o marriage, single parents are responsible for raising the children, some businesses even have "significant other" benefits for insurance. There really isn't a need to get married.

Yes, little girls dream of growing up and getting married, but how many actually follow through on that? They may grow up and decide they don't want to get tied down or in a legally binding relationship.

I am done with marriage. I would love to have a partner who lived in the house next to me. We would each have our own space to get away when needed and could get together when we wanted. That's about as committed as I ever want to be.

(By the way, tell Cowboy that women are also destroyed by marriage - especially when the hubby dumps them for someone else!)

God instituted marriage at the time of Adam & Eve. This arrangement was given for the protection of mankind. It is a COMMITTMENT, unlike living together. The rate of cheating is far higher when two people live together that when married, and more sexual satisfaction is reported between married partners. Children are also more well-adjusted when their parents stay together (married) for a lifetime. God knew what He was doing when He created marriage.

And for you Bible scholars, the marriage relationship is a picture of Christ's relationship with the church (the believers). See Ephesians 5:30-33.

Commitment. You are renouncing to each and every other man and accepting this one for your own until death do you part. He is doing the same.

Please notice the statement RENOUNCING ALL OTHERS. Without marriage, each individual is free to leave whenever he/she wants. No commitment is made. If everything is OK, we stay together, there is no urge to make it happen, to struggle, to work things out.

You marry and because you want to stay that way you seek for answers, you work harder, you compromise, you endure, and you grow old, wiser, you care. That is why you MUST be ready for that step.

Main problem is most couples THINK they are ready, but in fact they never were.

Marriage is not needed. People just do it because of tradition and family expectations. But the concept of marriage is definitely not necessary in today's society.

Marriage is a bond entered into between a man and a women committing them selves to each other ,through thick and thin in the eyes of their society and their GODS . Such commitment has been found to be an essential glue to bond people into families and families into communities and so on all across the history of mankind .The very fact of such a long lasting custom in all the cultures in world history indicates the importance of the relationship.
This question of yours regarding the necessity of marriage has been asked over the ages by many a person anxious and afraid of the commitment involved, .The ANSWER IS THE SAME.

Life is a constant struggle to improve ones circumstances and pass on the benefits to ones children .As child hood is a long process it requires sustained commitment from the parents to enable the children grow into compitent adults.It is during this period that one wants a partner to share their happiness /pleasure /pain /sorrow /and every thing else under the sun,to raise a family and be a part of the comunity.
This Relationship, MARRIAGE, is the glue which keeps two persons bonded to each other at all times. even in in times of despair / distress and when one is down ,

.In HINDUISM ,marriage is a step going closer to god as it is one of the stages of life in which a person has to under take the commitment s of "SAMSARA" that is commitment to the growth and betterment of ones progeny hence to ones spouse and family. It is recomended to enjoy the pleasures along with the pains in the line of duty in marriage .But do remember being faithfull to your loved one is very essential.marrying in time is a good dession as delayed marriages do have their share of additional problems like diffculty in adjusting to each other / or having a child
For a women relationship witha man with it's resultant commitment to bear and look after the child that may be born out of such relation ship is automaticly a long term commitment .
It is therefore nessary for her to seek a warranty / guaranty / security for herand her children over this time and she there fore demands that from for her love.
For a man a relationship witha women could only be momentary with no long term commitments called for automatically.
However it is necessary that he acepets the responsibility and undertakes to share the commitment to his spouse and children.

This declaration of commitment in the eyes of his socity and his GOD is what is called marriage .

Let me assure you that marriage is a happy state for both as it affords them the security and togetherness and mutual support throughout their lives.

Regardless of what people say.....marriage is actually a legal binding contract between 2 people. It makes somethings in life easier. Property, money, children, sickness, and death.

The religious part is a separate issue.
