Marriage is a great institution if you want to live in an institution...!
If you are here asking about marriage then obviously you have doubts about it and my belief is that "When in doubt...don't...!"
It would seem best in these times that couples would be wise to live together for a couple of years before settling down to marriage and raising children...
I know it's difficult to set aside ideals of religion ond simple moralities of parental upbringing and society but with a 51% divorce rate in the USA we must take steps for betterment of our lives and not adding more complications to it...
Unfortunately, the playing field today is not as it was yesterday and the end result usually brings children of a relationship to suffer more than the parents...
If you both do intend to marry then at least share a bond not to have children right away...give your marriage a chance to work itself between you and only then will you feel certain it was the right choice...

Well, how is that not marriage? Married people have to understand each other's space and respect that the other does require time alone or activities that do not involve both partners. The only reason not to get married when in a committed relationship is if you don't believe in the ritual and/or don't have family and friends who you want to involve in your life. If that's the case, just live together.

Shouldn't...too many divorces...no one takes the commitment seriously anymore...or they take advantage of having that mate legally attached...they do what they wish as if it meant nothing...so why get married? Too much domestic violence...too many mean ppl...none of whom should get married...
NOW that arguement is out there...
Reasons to GET married...Fall head over heals in love... madly truly deeply in love! Can't stand nor bear to be apart from him/her...no matter what life throws at you both your BOTH willing to stick it out together...to support one another emotionally, physically, financially, etc. stand up for one another when others are mean/cruel, share everything with that person, you can have all the sex you want and still go to heaven, (wink)...trust the one your with, admire one another, no matter how long you've been together...you never want to be apart and you find it too hard to sleep with OUT the other at your side...THESE are reasons I would remarry...

In the US if you are not married, your partners family can keep you from being in their hospital room, fight you for custody of any kids, and contest a will that leaves you anything. I think those are all reasons for marriage. I can't think of a thing against it, providing you find the right person of course.

most people get married because they want to spend the rest of their lives together they cant think of being without each other. dont get married because you feel obligated to that person or its what the family expext yall to do or there is an unexpected baby on the way yall wont make it,and dont get married because you dont want to be alone

You should get married because you want to spend the rest of your life with that person in a committed relationship. You should not get married if you have any other motive.

You obviously have no idea how marriage works. You'll be back in two months how your hubby is either cheating or doesn't pay any attention to you. Marriage isn't the solve-all. It's there because you two love each other.

I got married because I love my husband and we both knew we wanted to spend the rest of our life together.
If you don’t have love trust and communication then there no point in getting married.
