I still don't understand why people want to get married. Because their in love? Puleease... you don't have to get married to show love. To please their parents? Hah! ridiculous.
To fit in the group? another ridiculous idea. What do you think is the reason why people get married? And if you are already settled down, what was the reason behind it?

Valerie x. I scanned through your profile and it seems that you are a bit "too" pre-occupied with answering ALOT of questions. You haven't asked a single question. THAT explains ALOT.

People get married not only because they're in love (yes, that's a good reason whether you think so or not), but also to create that legal binding. Once you're married, god forbid something happens to you, your spouse is your next of kin. They don't have to go through any legal battles regarding money or children if you didn't have a will. Legally it makes a lot of sense, it's also easier to purchase a home if you are married.
But to me, love is the best answer. My husband marrying me showed me that he knew he wanted to be with me and only me. It was a ceremony showing everyone that we are together in life.

Honestly, the only reason my husband and I got married was because we wanted children. If we hadn't wanted children together, we probably would never had gotten married. I mean, we knew we wanted to be together for the rest of our lives and love each other very much, but neither one of us really buys into the whole traditional wedding crap, etc.
But we wanted our kids to have married parents, it feels like there is more commitment that way, and the kids have that safe feeling as well.
As it turns out, I got pregnant 3 months after we got married and I am glad that we are married. Plus, the tax breaks are nice too ;)

I got married to share children, so I would have a partner and best friend "that I can actually trust", so I can grow old with someone, go to sleep each night in his strong arms, and wake up in the same warm bed next to him every morning, I got married to laugh with him, cry with him, go through the hard times and good times with, dance with, walk with, talk with, have a glass of wine with, make love to anytime I want and however I want, Trust me honey it goes way beyond love, parents, groups, etc. True love doesn't happen at marriage it only comes from years together. And if and when you are lucky enough to find it you will have answered your own question.

Maybe because they are ready to make it officially a commitment.. yeah they're in love.. but also maybe some people don't want to start a family before they get married.. or maybe they know for sure that's the one. You know marriage isn't a bad thing. God wanted marriage before people start families.. it's a sin to have sex before marriage.. there are a lot of girls who do believe in that.. maybe you should look at it from two different sides and not just your own..

People love eachother so much sometimes that they really want to be one with eachother and they just get married. I was with my husband for 8 yrs before marraige and we just wanted to be with eachother forever so we got married. Marraige is a beautiful happy thing (for some people). The big thing with marraige just depends on what kinda person you are. I lived with him "in sin" for years and wether we got married or not we were still gonna be with eachother. People also realize as they get older that they might want to settle down and have a family so they get married. I myself dont have children but I enjoy the company of my husband and I was glad to say I do....so it just depends on you hun.

I got married because marriage was the significant commitment that reassured me that we would begin a life together to share, to grow, to learn together as a commitment to each other forever.
Still married to my best friend of 17 years and happy to say I am excited to see what God has planned for us for the next 58 years or more.........

I still don't understand <<
And all your thoughts are ridiculous. There's scientific proof that it's human nature to be with someone. Those who aren't usually die younger.
So if I were you, I'd take a look at myself and see why or why not you have not met someone that makes you WANT to do the things you laugh at now
Good Luck!

marriage is declared Holy by God, taking a Marriage vow is when a man and a woman stand before God and make that commitment to be as one flesh. it fills that emtiness we've lived with through our youth.although many people marry for the wrong reasons today most of us still hope to find our soulmates.

Because it shows that you are serious about the person youre with and that you want to be with them for the rest of your life. Plus its better for kids to grow up with parents who are together than always moving the kid around. Your sad... Its just so sad how you hate life this much.... to make fun of marriage and how happy most couples are.

In a marriage you are committed to the other person. You can not run away as when you are living together. It takes more guts to get married then living together.
