it's a personal choice. I personally believe that if you love some one with all your heart, why no commit to that? I find marriage the ultimate trust issue in a relationship. You are trusting you husband or wife to uphold the vows they took. As a Christian, I was raised that you get married, although I'm all for marrying who you love regardless of gender. But, there are a ton of couple out there that have chosen that they are happier not being married. They don't have to worry about divorce they ever break up and they feel that it's a way to maintain their individuality. Look and Kurt Russel and Goldie Hawn. They've been together for over 20 something years. It's your personal choice and only you can decide what is best for you and your significant other and to hell what everyone else says. It's about YOUR happiness.

Here are a couple of reasons. (But this is just the tip of the iceberg.)
1. For Christians, it is in the bible.
2. Social acceptability. (Parents aren't about to let you bed their daughters without an official agreement.)
3. Because most men are just looking to get laid. If there were no marriages, just think about how men would treat women. It is already bad enough that after a woman has had a man's child, he starts having sex with other women. And some even think, "My wife's not pretty now that she has had my child. It's time to divorce her and find a young, hot girl to have sex with."

I think that marriage is neccessary for certain couples. There's too many divorced couples in the world right now because they were assuming that they should get married when it wasn't really what they wanted. Everybody is not meant to get married.

Marriage is not necessary. It is not obligated, it is just a commitment two people make together through law to stay forever. Depending on the relationship you have with your partner, you can decide if you are ready for marriage or if you aren't. In my opinion, being married does not mean you truly love the person. You can marry for money, power, lust or because that's what people do. However, if you truly ready to devote yourself to someone with all the power of your love, you are ready to start a family, grow stronger, then marriage is right for you. but if you don't feel ready, it is not necessary.

I am glad I married. It shows commitment. It isnt necessary like a lot of things, but its lovely when two people feel the same. A bad marriage wont keep you together. A good marriage is a wonderful thing, it involves the whole family and IMO makes things more settled. Love and commitment is what marriage is about.

It depends upon the people involved. I am a Christian, so I say yes, it's necessary. But for those who are not living their lives by certain rules, they have to decide for themselves. I have seen many divorces, and many non-married break-ups, and they're both difficult and usually messy. And in many states, if you're together long enough, or share your resources, then you're considered married by common law anyway, so you have to handle your spilt by rules. If you want to be protected by law, in case you marry someone who is spiteful and will try to rip you off, then maybe marriage is a good idea. Then there are the lawyers fees.....

No, it's definitely not necessary, and although studies have shown that people who have companions/spouses tend to live a bit longer and have fewer problems later in life, the length of one's life isn't necessarily the best measure of its success.
BTW, "bad yellow", the OP wasn't asking about whether marrying a significant other is necessary or if cohabitation is sufficient, I think he was questioning whether having someone is necessary at all.

Yes marrriage is necessary to have a spouse and a family with and not just shack up and live together with no commitment or vows. However it is alright if a person wants to stay single and never marry or live with someone too. It is your choice what you want to do with you life. Marriage is not a necessity if you dont ever want to marry and would rather stay single and unattached.

I do not think it is necessary... I mean some people are not meant to marry. But I am against cohabitating (mostly religious reasons, but I won't bore you with those since I don't think that is what you are interested in hearing). If you are married you are more committed, because you were willing to take that jump, you have better sex, and you are overall more happy in the relationship... of course that is from statistics, but they mean something, even if it isn't everything.
