Marriage is awesome. It feels great to have someone that you can depend on and know is there.

The only real reason to get married is if you love someone unconditionally, and are willing to support and care for that person the rest of your life.\n\nOf course, if you just don't have self control enough to wait for the right one to come along, then by all means get married to the one you lust for, but remember, it's for life!

Why get married AT ALL if it's not something you want?  People take a leap into Nothing when getting married.  By that I mean only their Faith and Trust holds the bond connected.  \n\nHumans have Free Will; and that comes with the responsibility to do what's right, including NOT getting married.  If the notion of awakening next to the same person for YEARS until death parts you from them is not in your heart, then DON'T GET MARRIED!\n\nDon't go in with a doubt, or without counseling.  There are courses for people seeking marriage in the Catholic church just for the fact that they don't know what they're gonna feel later and why.  The marriage must be a faith-based union, meaning you're  going to church together, spiritually awake to one another, and emotionally aware of what's happening.\n\n"So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." - Matthew 19:6\n\nMy wife knows my vanity and self-centeredness, and also knows ALL my support and love are with her.  Despite my flaws she also wanted to marry me, and has forgiven my numerous chaotic and emotional misgivings.  We have been married 4 years, dated for 6 including 3 years she was at college out-of-town.\n\nI hope you find a spouse as loving & giving as I have.\n\nGood luck & God Bless!\n\n\nJaime

Marriage is just a way of saying , hey i love you enough to be with you forever . It is a way of telling someone you can count on me . I know , that you don't have to be married to spend the rest of your lives together. But , it means alot more & makes you feel alot better to know someone feels strong enough about you to say---> this is it I have found what i want , what i need in you ! But , marriage is alot of work--> as is everything that is worth having in life! I like knowing when i go home someone is there waiting for me ! I like knowing that i can have sex whenever i need it , without worrying where you are going to get it from . And , I like knowing if i really need someone to be there for me--> i've got it! Now , i know that all of you big strong men don't care about any of that right ? But, when you truely grow up , you will.... It's nice to go home and be with someone , without having to worry about coming up with some wierd messed up stuff growing on your _ _ _ _!

I think it is. I think we are supposed to get married and have a family. We then find what true love is. When you have kids its something unlike anything else and to me the marriage comes before the kids so without that....you don't get the honor. You don't get to know what it feels like. I believe that there is someone for everyone and God will put this person in front of you when you least expect it and you will know this is the one.

I think you answered your own quetion to some extent but just to add to it. It's simply greed and curiosity couples r not satisfied with wat they have, they want more whether it be money, sex you name it. And sometimes they marry for all the wrong reasons.

If you are concerned about the legal benefis when you marry someone then you should probably not get married. Marriage is about love, not material things you'll receive.

Some marry for convenience (e,g, "some" asians are obedient -- other are that way until they become American citizen and then leave the men).\n\nSome actually marry for love (or grow to love).  People always find a way to communicate.

What's the point in getting married?

My personal opinion is that if 2 people live together they are more willing to work at staying together knowing that they can just walk out of the relationship. You try harder to get the other person because you love them and are willing to sacrifice your all to stay together. When you get married that piece of paper is like a prison cell. You begin to think you own the other person and more likely than not you start telling the other person what to do. This then starts tearing the relationship apart. Some people think once the ring is on the finger you can tell them what to do and when to do it. It doesn't work.

Wedding is the event in which you get married. Marriage is the act of being married.

Why marry at all? Enjoy life before you get tied down.

People who take on all the responsibilities of marriage yet refuse to get married are people who have trust issues and who want to be able to leave town at the drop of a hat. I do not respect people like that, they end up being bad parents.

Why do people get married?  Most marriages end in divorce anyways, and if two people have completely different directions in life why bother.  Single is sexy!  However if your in "love"...USE A CONDOM!

Marriage is not just a religious thing.  its about two people loving each other and wanting to spend their lives together.  How can love not make something valid anyones eyes?

in my culture its natural to married with some  one withut being his gf or her bf ... well its better if the people know each other before getting marriage...but if its in their cultur like what is in my country then we have some steps....first they both have to see each other maybe they dont like their face (then how could they see each other every hr),then they can have their relation to know each other it depends on their family and both o f them ,)they can arrange to dont get married till the time they find each other caracter....then if they think all thing is close to be ok then married...but some people just wanna married....they think they will love each other later ,or will ecerything get ok afetr a while...then there is nothing in our hands...but arrange marriage is some kind of knowing people if we let them know each other better before the dealing....
