Omg...you all need to re-think your cavalier approach to marriage....of course there are reasons for marriage. Just take a look around you...when you weed thru all the crap out in the world and how all this crap comes to be; the number one thing that is common to almost all of it, is kids growing up in one parent families. And a father who gets the kids every other weekend is not a two parent family. Kids need interaction with both parents each and every day. If they don't get that then they are vulnerable to all the pressure that the outside world has to put on them. My God......there is enough of that pressure around for a kid in a perfectly normal loving two parent family with all living under the same roof. So although I will agree that marriage isn't for everyone....it most certainly is important for those that want to bring children into the world and also for those that still agree that loving one person for ever. I agree with the one woman that said that ok...if you don't want to get married then that's fine but don't have sex and bring children into the world, because they are the only ones that get hurt Ok I am now stepping down from my pedestal...forgive me...lol

Marriage is commitment on a whole nother level. And when you marry a person it let's the whole world know (at least it shoud) how totally committed you are to the betterment of a mature relationship.
In marriage, you are committed emotionally, physically, spiritually, and financially.
You can do that in a boyfriend girlfriend relationship, but if anything ever happens; especially tragic you have no say in the decision making process.
Most people jump into marriage for all the wrong reasons, but maturity, loyalty and commitment all play a factor in the success of a good marriage.
Hope this helps.

actually there are. but i really think people should wait 5-7 years before doing it to truely know that this is the person you want to be with. really know them and how well you can work together in hard times as well. so many people get caught up in the bliss of the first few years to realize that they have absolutely nothing in common or they fight over everything or theres no trust. it takes time to learn these things. the divorce rate is so high. if you know that the person your with makes you happy and you do the same for them and you can go through their moody emotional moments even when they are so very dark. if you can get through all those things and still feel like you can make it then get married. dont get married only when youve just gone through the good time but wait until you gone through some serious crap together . if you can make it through that and still end up feeling love for the other then go for it. strength will surely help. also its good if you want kids because it does give them a sence of security. also insurance and taxes.

I agree...the day and age has come and gone. It is highly unfair to reward those who are married a tax advantage, thereby punishing those who are wise enough to avoid the pain and expense marriage/divorce brings. Child support is an enforceable entity, so children are protected...what IS the purpose of marriage today, other than to destroy a great relationship when both partners start taking the other for granted.

Sure, for that person. Personally, there are plenty of reasons, but to each their own and unless this was part of some ridiculous debate on the socio-cultural importance of marriage in contemporary western culture, I'd leave it at that. Besides, I'm not so sure I would argue for marriage.

I just about agree, There realy isnt a good reason but is there really a good reason for anything? No its just human nature to f-uck up all the time and marriage is one little f-uck up. But it is a whole lotta fun to be married.

If you don't come up with any reasons to marry, then for you, there are none. Stay single, and produce no children out of marriage.
