because they think its an excuse for a party...just because you are happy with someone it doesn't mean that you are meant to be together or even that you love them! People are stupid and hasty, and don't take their vows seriously enough. Its a reason to dress up, look pretty and get a load of presents. Idiots.

I think some people just get married because it's expected. They've been with someone in a steady relationship for years and everyone, including themselves, just expect it to end in marriage. There's also that security of definitely having someone there. Why give up a sure thing when you don't even know if there's a "Mr./Miss Right" out there for you?
Also, Marriage vows aren't taken very seriously. Many people go into it on a trial basis. If it doesn't work out they can easily just get a divorce. The old concept of "til death do us part" has been ignored. If marriage were still considered a "forever" thing, people would try to work things out during the rough times rather than give up. They would probably also think more carefully about whom they spend the rest of their lives with.
That's my take on it.

I think a lot of people get married for a couple of reasons (besides the obvious reason - love). One is cuz they feel that the next logical step in their relationship is marriage even if they're not to keen on the idea. People think that relationships have to "keep moving". That they must continue through the typical steps or they're relationship will die. So in other words, it's the 'logical' thing to do.
Another reason is that couples have this stupid idea in their heads that if they get married, it will magically fix whatever problems they have. Some don't realize that marriage usually makes preexisting problems so much worse.
And last, some get married out of some sort of obligation. Whether it be because of an unexpected baby or arranged marriage (depending on the religion/culture).
There's a lot of couples who do get married because of love. Its just that sometimes love isn't enough to keep a marriage going.

because people get in lust before they get in love and they confuse the two and when the newness of being married wears off then you get to really know the person that you have thought you loved so very much and you realize they arent what you thought they were . people also end up not knowing how to keep thier feelings for thier wives / husbands only for thier wifes or husbands and end up cheating because they wonder what it would be like to have someone elce when in the long run they are just burning bridges that they cant repair and end up hurting thier husband or wife in the end

I can't really understand your question, but to say "most" people is pretty unfair, and unrealistic. I doubt "most" people get married to people they don't love, so I'm assuming you mean why do people end up married to people they don't love?! People fall out of love, that's life...I wouldn't say "most" people end up falling out of love to the person they've married, cos I don't think they do. People divorce for many reasons, and you can't really just guess that it's not loving each other.
Strange question, and wish I hadn't wasted my answer now.

Financial security and cultural expectations;
Seems like a lot of woman marry guys that have careers that they probably met in college but are bored w/ the relationship and being stuck in the raising the kid at home routine.

cause the one they love may not be available, cause they feel society pressure to get married, cause they feel biological pressure to procriate, cause life is easier if you have someone to share the bills, cause it would be too risky too change partners too often and after being together for a while, it is expected that one would think about getting married... so many reasons. Love maybe will happen to be one of the less common ones.

Because a divorce is so easy to get nowadays. Used to be, you married for love. Now, people marry for money, community status, a good name. I say, stay married. I've been thru one divorce, and it's hard as hell to go thru.

Because love is blind and they don't realise the real personality of the person they married until they live with them.
