Answer 1

Love,Companionship,Financial Support and the comforts of a shared home . Intimacy & Children.
Marriage is a great adventure, full of joys as well challenges. One of the best things you can do to prepare for marriage is to talk in advance about the issuses that will probably arise.

Answer 2

I'm pretty pessimistic about a lot of things. But I'm pretty high on love. I think people still get married because they love each other and want to demonstrate a public commitment to each other. I don't think people do it for tax advantages (they don't even exchange financial information, for god's sake), or just to ensure they'll have sex (many a married couple can tell you that doesn't work). They're in love, and think that it will help validate that love.

Answer 3

from experience, i got married just turned 17. i did it as i just gave birth and was scared that the man i love wouldnt commit properly, scared he wouldnt take it seriously.

So i got married to ake me feel safe and secure. i knew if he commited he would always be there for me at the end of the day.

Ive been married 2 years now, and have a 1 and 2 year old by him. im 19.
Now we have everyting we possibly need and are starting a new life together next month in a whole different area.

Answer 4

It's the American dream and tradition to marry the right person and raise children together. It's a sad fact that society has manipulated this dream in such a way that marriage is no longer an institue that many people respect or value for what it truly is.

When you get married, you profess your intentions to remain faithful and loving for the remainder of your life in front of a crowd of family and friends. You make permanent your relationship, discarding the possibility of petty "break-ups" and beginning a more serious life together, where terms such as "OUR" and "WE" are used joyously and very appropriately.

When I got married, nothing really changed other than the fact that I referred to him as "MY HUSBAND" and it still puts a smile on my face to say that and hear him call me his WIFE. It's really not such a bad thing.

Answer 5

It's something that shouldn't be easy to explain. Everyone should have their own memories good and bad. Life is something you might want to share with just that one person. The person you should be able to tell anything without judgement. You know you keep secrets even from your closest friends and family. You don't want to have keep looking for someone to be happy with. But you can have that without the paper too. It's still going to take alot of work and patience. I've been with the same person for 22yrs now. We didn't marry until after the 10th yr. lol!

Answer 6

Well, the bible tells us that GOD made a mate for Adam so he wouldn't be lonely. I would think you would want to marry someone you love and want to spend the rest of your life with and have children with.

Not all couples marry for financial security, though as nice as it is to be secure, it's not the basis for marriage or at least it shouldn't be. Remember, the vows, "for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others until death, we do part," THAT is the basis for marriage. To love, honor, and obey, (ouch!). People love each and when they want to spend the rest of their lives together, and noone else interests them, then comes the wanting to get married. It's sacred in the eyes of GOD and proper in civilation.

Answer 7

Committment. Tradition. Idealistically, the couple thinks that they want to spend the rest of their lives together.
I feel marriage is important if the couple want to have children together. But, I don't feel that a couple should marry just because the woman is pregnant or they have a child together.

Answer 8

I got married because I am in love with my husband. Because as the days went on I couldnt picture my life without him. And when I did, I would collapse and end up crying. I got married because I knew that was my next step in life. because I knew that he loves me too and we were ready to start a new life and pledge to be together forever in front of God and our families. We were ready to take on the responsibility of marriage and everything that comes with it.

Answer 9

Because they love each other and dont want to live their lives without each other. but Leira has a good point.
Marriage wont change anything besides your last name, and maybe your tax filing status. but its not gong to magically make them happy.
I think a lot of people get married because they dont want to be alone, and marriage is like a legal commitment.
My husband had lived with a girl for 8 years and she left him. he NEVER told her he loved her, because he just didnt feel that way about her, but when she left it hurt him - he had gotten used to having someone.
A few years later he met me, and it didnt take long for him to tell me he loved me. at first I was hesitant....reebouunnnd.
But he showed me how he felt about me in many ways....and his friends and family even told me he'd never been like this about anyone else. ever. We are best friends.
But still, he bought an engagement ring after a month of meeting me. Neither of us wanted to lose the other, we love each other sooo much. so we got married last month, after 1 1/2 years of meeting each other.

Answer 10

Because they fall in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together. I believe that God has a partner for everyone and in some marriages, it was really meant to be. We are all brought together for a reason and a purpose that we really can't explain. I know that some marriages don't last forever, but then again maybe it really wasn't meant to be. It's a real learning experience and I've learned through the death of my husband 9 years ago, that he wasn't really mine--God loaned him to me for what short time he had on earth and I am so grateful for that.
