im not too sure,but the day my husband asked me to marry him i felt like id won the lottery,i felt that great.its nice to belong to another person by name but ive only been married for10 months so maybe in a few years i will sound as bitter as you did when you asked your question.
dont you want to get married?or are you already married and regretting it?
its great being married knowing that we are no longer in the dating game,i feel so sorry for my single friends like lambs to the slaughter on a night out(trying to pull),and i feel so lucky that i never have to listen to drivel from guys or share my body with anyone other than my husband ever again.
before i met my husband i was in an 11 year relationship with a man that didnt want to get married and it felt like there was always something missing.

This is a tough question to answer for some reason. Some people get married for the wrong reasons like because they are pregnant or to satisfy their parents or even to be able to say they are married. I was one who always said I wasn't going to get married. I didn't want to hurt like my parents did who stayed together for 23 years only so they wouldn't hurt us kids,but the fighting always did. I was with the same guy for about 6 years and one day he popped the question and I felt like I was a queen and knew it was right. I have been married for 8 years now and its the best thing I have ever done except having my 2 children. Marriage makes you 2 people one. It is nice to share everything with one person. I hope this helped a little.

Marriage is a formal commitment to a relationship with one partner. It provides a social, familial, financial, and domestic partnership.
Some people get married because they want to have a wedding, others for companionship, and some in the excitement and romance of an idealized relationship. Marriage for societal and economic gain as well as procreation (heirs for the wealthy and more workers for the poor) is typical throughout the last 10 or so centuries in Europe. In the US there is an expectation of companionship and romantic love based on shared values and goals.

When a couple falls in love, marriage will bring them closer. They will have the same name and everything more or less, will become one. It also becomes legal so if anything ever happens to one of them, everything will stay with the other spouse.
That's the way marriage used to be. Today, couples are getting married for all the wrong reasons and that's causing marriage to have such a negative description.
Marriage could be so excellent, but it could only be excellent if it's because of true love. Couples aren't waiting for that true love and they don't even know what it is and how they could feel.

Sometimes and far too often for the wrong reasons! Making our parents proud of us, giving under the pressure of an insecure and demanding partner; for financial reasons; Because of our religious beliefs, because of guilt, because we have a child on the way, because we want to do the right thing; Because we are afraid of losing the one we are in love with although we're not ready for so huge a commitment...
But, in fact, we should only tie the knot when we know for sure in our heart that we have no doubt of doing the right thing, because, we know that it is what we want, also what our partner wishes, so that we are not only making our own selfish happiness, but also our partner's.

People marry for a variety of reasons depending on one's culture and society. In the west, people marry for love, partnership and companionship. Sometimes people will marry for reasons other than love such as financial or social reasons such as women who marry men merely to have children and stay at home. Love may be present in these relationships, but often it is secondary to family (social) and finances (support of the work horse aka stay at home wife).

Depends on the person.
For me, i would want to get married cause i want to get out from my overprotected parents. But obviously that is not the main reason.
You would want to get married because you want to live till death with the person you love.
Maybe you would want to learn how to be independent and not to just cling on to you parents.

you get married to have someone to rely on when you need some encouragement and to have someone to blame things on when you just do not want to face up to the results of some choices you made as well as to have someone that will look over imperfections that you possess and still sleep with you but in the end it is just simply because some people can not go it in life alone and need someone to have close by

We've been conditioned to think it's some kind of permanent adhesive that keeps two people as one and symbolizes a commitment on the part of both people to remain as partners.
