When a couple gets serious and they want to further their lives together.

First the good news. Marriage can make you a little happier -- at least initially. Now even better news. If you were happy before getting married, chances are you'll stay that way.
People tend to get a boost in overall life satisfaction from being married, but the increase is small and typically short-lived, finds a new study. In other words, getting married may initially make people feel happier about their lives in general, but staying married has little long-term effect on being happy.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Marriage is the most wonderful thing in the world if you are with your most wonderful person in the world. Two people that will do anything to make each other happy, because they fell in love!
Unfortunately, so many people are getting married for all the wrong reasons. Reasons such as, because they like that word, or because they think they could trap their mate, or because their pregnant, or for more money or a place to live, etc. That list could go on and it has destroyed the meaning of marriage. Now you can never say marriage will make your life better. There lives have been ruined and all they do is get divorced. Too bad, they have children, because those poor innocent children suffer the most. That's how they were raised and that's what they think marriage is and now they grow up and do the same to their children.
If it's true love, you have been together between 3-5 years, ages late 20's, early 30's, you could never be apart and you will do anything to make each other happy, then marriage can make your life even better!
If your wondering, teenager or early 20's, just met a month or two ago, pregnant, have no money, no place to live, etc. then marriage will only make your life worse!

That would be married (not merried) and the whole idea of getting married is to improve your life as part of a couple and legally share it with the person you love. There would be no point in marrying, if it wasn't seen as an improvement over living apart or living together but unmarried.

i think yes, getting "married" makes your life better. For one, when it comes time to buy a house or start investing your life with somebody, why not share a last name together to as well. To me when you commit yourself to somebody in marriage it means no matter what i wont back out on you, i am here for you and i love you. Ive been divorced once and ive vowed never to go through it again. And when i do get married again, it will be with the right person, i wont just jump into marriage because it is convenient, but because it feels right and i wont have any doubts about being with this person for the rest of my life. Its having that person there for you, you will never be lonely again, you will always have that help right there when you need it. Thats what marriage is to me.

I'd like to see the answer to this question. Oh, the word is married...not merried.
My take on it is you are just trading problems. Getting married may solve some problems but it comes with a whole other set of issues.

Better? No.
Why does anything need to change? If you're happy and in a healthy relationship, ride it out without the contract.

you have to know who you are and what you stand for and what you accept and what you don't BEFORE you get married. Then you have to know your future partner VERY WELL before you get married...............values morality and character don't change overnight...................then don't ever get married with out a background chex.........it will save you some tears remember we live in an age of deceit..............

Getting "merried" - is it like getting drunk?

Nope. It has pretty much been the death of the relationship. Every time.
