A best friend, sex ,and a child can be obtain from a relationship .And Isn't a relationship a commitment too???
With the divorde rate being more than 50% .It's not guaranteed.Its more of a gamble.

Some couples grow out of love for one another or one just wasn't ready for the commitment. Saying I DO means exactly that somehow they don't understand what the vows mean. My marriage ended only because he divorced me. He worked 12 hours a day 7 days a week and on his days off he wanted to be somewhere else, not at home with his family. I was always left to take care of the child even tho I worked too.

Well when two people get married they get a promise from the other person that they will always love and accept them. Yes marriage can come with sex and a chile .. but its more then that. It is being with the one you truely love for the rest of yourlife.
And althogh the divorse rate is high .. if you marry your true love and you are complety sure you want to spend the rest of your life with this personand no body else through thick and thin then it is not a gamble. It is a symbol of your love!

Well myself...I got a Friend that I can tell anything to...a GREAT mother....a partner....we own a farm and a small business together...a teacher....yes she taught me that even though I had been hurt....no crushed by another....that I could be happy again....but I think the MOST I got out of being with my wife..is the unconditional love she has given me. I wish that everyone could have a wife or husband that treats there partner like she treats me....I am going now....to give her a hug....thanks for asking this question as it has made me think of what I have......and it was a REALLY crap day till now *S*

If you're asking that question and contemplating marriage, I suggest you don't do it yet. You're not quite ready. When you're ready to settle down, and you have your own career and finances in tact, then you'll want to share what you have with someone else. Make sure you have all of those things, and don't rely on your spouse for any of it. I wish I had known that before I got married (16 yrs) then split with 3 children. I try to advise when I can, and my 3 kids are listening and observing very closely, getting their own lives in tact and then moving on carefully. Good luck; take care.

Hmm. I'm married, i'm a female. I love my husband , i know he is the one person that i can tell ANYTHING! and he has my back.Better than that he helps me get through it. I'm given unconditional support from him and give that right back to him.There are definatly difficult times where we dont want to be around each other or are upset but the good times out weigh that.We settle things before they get out of hand.And if for some reason one of us aren't happy we can talk about it and get it resolved. The divorce rate is high because people dont understand their vows, and the minute it gets difficult they bolt

there is a lot of reasons why people get out of a marriage. 1. they are not happy with each other anymore. 2. one person cheated on the other person. 3. communication the list can go on and on. sometimes people get married to young and grow a part from each other and in a marriage you supposed to grow together and sometimes that just don't happen.

It's true that you can get all of the above from just staying in a relationship without getting married. Some people do it because it's part of their religion, and you do take vows in Gods name in traditional weddings. But most of all, I just think people get married because they want security in their lives. That's my view of it.

Women get another child to care for.
Men get taken care of nicely.
