why do you marry?

Question

everyone has his/her reasons, what about you?
loneliness-love bla bla

Answer 1

because you need to have someone who needs you just as much as you need them. someone who actually enjoys the same things you do, and someone with you can be your total self with. love is absolutely needed. but its about wanting a commitment, and wanting to have someone to fall asleep with you every night. getting married is an amazing thing, and people take it too lightly now-a-days

Answer 2

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 7 years now, I was 23 he was 25, but have absolutely no plans whatsoever to get married. Yes I have all the feelings listed, he gives me confidence, gives me unconditional support, makes me feel good, deliriously happy, would be nothing without him, totally in love, and I do the same for him. But no I don't have the fear that he might not be there in the morning, I don't worry about things like that and i don't think marraige would change that if it were going to happen. We are so happy together, neither of us has looked at anyone else, but both of us feel, if it ain't broke....

Lots of us are in love but no-one yet has answered the question of why get married? The only reason I can see is if you have children and are particalur about surnames, although if we ever do marry i'm not going to change my name. Isn't love about the 2 people involved and not about proving things to other people?

Can anyone really explain why they felt they really wanted to, or really want to get married?

Answer 3

I was abused as a child my partner makes me feel clean and free and safe he is the only person I have ever loved and I trust him with every inch of my being. He makes me feel so special, I cannot imagine a single day without him in my life. Every second of my life is entwined in him. There are not words to describe how amazing he is and marrying him is just another way of expressing my love for him.
If every one could meet someone half the man he is then this world would be a much happier place.
Good luck finding yours!

Answer 4

I was unhappily married for 20 years and when I finally got divorced I swore I would never marry again. Four years later I married my boyfriend who had never been married and wanted a commitment so as I love him to bits I married him. It is a different marriage this time as there are no kids around as mine are grown up so it's just the two of us. I think kids put a hell of a lot of stress on a marriage.

Answer 5

i dont believe in marriage. i am one person i knew who is so self centered and unable to love anybody else other than me and my two fat cats. Maybe because i have seen too many heartaches and heartbreaks thru friends and family when i grew up, i told myself i aint gonna love anyone just to get my heart broken. So whenever a man says he misses me, he loves me, wanting to meet my parents, wanting me to meet their parents, i freaked out and screamed while i ran off. I told my self that i will never be married for the sake of not wanting to be alone nor married for the sake of being married like everybody else. Why am i now married? Because i met a guy that i simply cannot live without, i fell in love for the first time and he is the nicest human being on earth. I love him unconditionally. Although i was a bit fickled and almost ran away on out wedding day, i'm glad people talked me through it. He knew my problem about marriage and we took it slow, one day at a time. It's almost two years now we've been married. And i am still in love with this man. Dont marry because u are lonely or coz u wna have children or because u dont want to live alone for the rest of your lives. marry because u know it is e right guy whom u can be happy with and spend the rest of your life with.

Answer 6

I married for multiple reasons:
to build a life-long relationship with a companion and partner who would be my friend through good times and bad. He and I could work together toward mutual goals (financial, family, activiites, etc) and hopefully have a lot of fun together on the journey.
And let's never forget : a regular source of safe sex with someone who knows what I like!

Answer 7

When I got engaged, we were really happy together (still are) and neither of us could imagine our lives without the other. plus we really love each other and are the perfect match, I might even go so far as to say we're soul mates. That's why I got engaged/married and I've been married almost 3 years now and everything is still great

Answer 8

I loved this man so much I wanted the whole world to see it, recognise it, celebrate it and acknowledge it, I wanted to know that at that moment in time we would be together forever and that at no time ever again would I need to feel alone, unloved, unappreciated or unwanted.... ten years on it is the best decision we ever made and I would marry the same man again tomorrow.

Answer 9

I think you'll love this answer:

For years, I did not believe in marriage; was involved in a long term relationship, never felt like I wanted to marry him, not even when our daughter was born. Years go by, my feelings don't change, it finally ends.

I meet a wonderful man who is delightful to be around, who literally makes my heart sing. He is 20 years younger than I am. When he asks me, I don't blink, I say 'Yes'. Here we are, heading toward our first anniversary, with a brand new set of triplets, and I could not be happier.

It is instinctive; shut your head off, and let your heart tell you.

Answer 10

to give a better than average chance of failure a reason to not be so negative. No! LOL just kidding. Marriage is wat bwings us togewer today! Sorry Princess Bride.
People marry hoping that their love is "the one" that one person in the world willing to do anything and everything that they need to be happy. everything before asking is needed understanding that within the respect of those that have come before and those who too will follow that they just might be lucky enough to give their own definition to true love and answer their own secret to life.

Answer 11

Oh course some people marry for the wrong reasons but I feel the only real reason is love!
