Unless he is the love of your life and only then should you even consider it.
I waited till I was 26 to do it...I totally believed marriage was a direct ticket to the poor house ...my friends married at 17,19, 22 and at 25 I was considered an "old maid." Ha! It was good for a while...but most of it was hell on earth. I am now happily divorced and would never, ever consider a second marriage. Marriage is great for a man, I do believe that. I have 3 brothers who could never live alone, ever. Among other things they need an audience....24/7. I love my freedom and independence and I am not giving those up again.

There's always the financial aspect (given that your significant other plans on maintaining a career after marriage). If you are planning to have children, a scenario where both parents are present and have proof of a commitment to each other (hence marriage), the children will grow up more well-rounded and confident (in most cases). Having someone to spend the rest of your life with also has it's pluses. Besides, after a certain age, the dating scene becomes old and boring.

I haven't got one. I'm 55 and never been married.
At 53 I reached a point where I'd never have to work again.
If I pesonally got married, I would risk that paradise and might have to return to work if everything went sour. It's not worth it for me to gamble everything on temporary enfatuation. In fact, I can't do it.
I've also discovered that the kinds of women who get close to me are clinging and genuinely dangerous.
Logic, and a certain selfishness about my middle-class retirement status, keep me from even considering marriage.
So don't do it unless you're madly in love with each other and both want children. That's my advice.

If you are asking people on Yahoo Answers to give you a reason to get married then apparently you are not ready for marriage. When you are ready to marry you will have your own reasons.
Love
Found the person you want to be with and create a life with
Someone you want to have kids with and raise together

Marriage is NOT for everyone. Marriage is for those who want to be commited. Who dont need more than onesexual partner and who plan to come home after work,not go to the bar all night. Marriage is for someone who wants a partner in life,not a cook,not a maid. My brother in law,for instance,has had a few divources. He cant keep his pants zipped up. Guys like him should never marry. Sleep with as many women you want,while staying single. There are pleanty of sluts,so theres no need to get commited just to cheat,or to string along any girl,just be straigh about it.

NO.....
I am checking the answers. Love, love is still there without marriage. Marriage does not make you love more, even damages the love.
Sex, it is only something to do with your sexual desire. I have not heard a 60 year old couple having great sex cause they are married.
Only, mey be if you want to have a baby!!!! Does it worth, you never have the guarantee that you will have a long lasting relationship and give the child the happy big family.
Tax break, we do not have it in Turkey, even if we had, noooooo I love to be free. My freedom does not have a price.

Children
Whilst it is ok at the moment for children to be born to unmarried parents that trend could change so why not make it official.
If someone is going to have children they should be making a lifelong commitment to the family which includes the woman.
Outside of that then there are no absolute reasons.

These days there is no good reason to get married

If you need a "good reason" to get married, DON'T. There is no reason that will make someone who isn't ready for marriage that isn't.
Just the same, there is no reason someone who IS ready for marriage can get that will change their mind.

If you're asking total strangers for a reason to get married then the answer is simple DONT!!!
You're either not ready, haven't me the right person or simply just not spouse material - so stay single and mingle!
