Really, it depends on whether you are a man or a woman. There is a financial benefit for women if things don't work out, she can get half of the assets. There is a benefit for children to have parents who live together and have a stable home. There is no benefit that a man gets from marriage that he cannot get from remaining unmarried.
Since you can be in love, live together, have sex, raise children, etc. without being married, the only reason for a man to get married would be if he wants to have children and he is willing to put their needs ahead of his own. The only reason for a woman to get married would be for financial reasons so she is guaranteed money if things fall apart.

You and the man need to both love God.
1. You and the man are in love.
2. You and the man want to be together for the rest of your lives.
3. You and the man want a life bound together with love and possibly kids.

U cant sum it up to 3 reasons. If you really love him and he love you and you know that you are to be together the rest of your lives, you wouldn't need to ask this question.

For me, it was to have a family, a best bud, and get grand kids. I am divorced so I haven't had a best bud in a while. But hey it could happen!
