Why do people get married?

Question

Should people get married? If married to the “right” person, is marriage all that it is made out to be? Share your thoughts.

Answer

I believe marriage is important because it’s the intimate union between man and women where they become one physically before God and it’s very special.

Answer

I choose to be married to have a partner for life legally and emotionally. I want people to know I have a husband. And, if something were to happen to either one of us, legally the other has a say in what happens. Without a marriage, that decision falls on my family and I’ve seen things like this turn ugly where people who have been together 20 years end up with nothing because the family was greedy. This way my husband gets everything of what we worked together to build. He is my partner for life and we made sure that legally nothing could come between us.

Answer

When taken seriously by both people, marriage is a beautiful thing.

Answer

I LOVE being married. I loved our tiny wedding. I love sharing everything with him. 
We do feel differently now that we're married compared to when we were just dating. The relationship is much stronger. We're in this together. And marriage was the starting point of all of that for us. The moment we decided this is it, this is what we had waited for. I've met the man I cant live without. And now we're taking that love and commitment and creating our family. 
For us, yes. It's all its cracked up to be. I made the best decidion of my life when I married him.

Answer

Even though I know being in a relationship is as permanent as you want it to be, I feel like my relationship with my husband is more solid now than before marriage. 
I don’t think this necessarily makes a relationship better though, if you were u happy before marriage then marriage isn’t going to fix that.

Answer

Im married because its about commitment. Youre saying you want to spend the rest of your life with this person, but rather than just saying it you put it in a contract. If someone cant commit like that I wouldnt want to be with them and Im not 😉 lol

Answer

I got married because of the commitment, legality, and tradition. We’ve been together 15 years and married for 8 of this with a little boy and ready to TTC baby 2. It’s definitely worth it to me. I wouldn’t have had a child with someone I wasn’t married to.

Answer

Let me start my comment with a fact, I NEVER wanted to get married. I'm a child of divorce and even though my parents divorce was civil (they even considered getting remarried about 4 years after), I knew marriage wasn't for me. Prior to dating my now-husband I was in a relationship for 6 years, I absolutely did not want to marry him (SO glad I didn't). 
When I met my husband things just felt "right" idk how to describe it over than that. He proposed after a year of dating and I did want to say yes but I wanted to live together first. We bought our house everything was going well and on track, then I developed a herniated disc near my scatcia nerve and was in EXTREME pain. The best way I can describe it, its like someone is literally stabbing you in the back while trying to skin you alive and burning you as they are doing it. Oh and throw some leg/foot cramps. This is not to mention swelling (from the meds) and disorientation just for kicks. So yeah not fun.
I was not a good or sane person to be around. People would have full blown conversations with me and I wouldn't remember at all. I was in a daze I couldn't walk, sneeze, breathe, or (tmi) poop without being in extreme pain and I am not a pain wimp. This was probably December 2013-April 2015 until I started feeling a little more myself so almost two years and about another year or so until I could go back to work.
It was the worst time in my life and he stood by me through all of it. We got married February 14th, 2014, I KNEW wholeheartedly with zero doubt I wanted to marry him and I didn't want anyone else except him to spend my life with. 
Its five years later and life is better now and there has been more then a few rough patches but I never regretted my decision. This man works 50-60 hour weeks and he still comes home helps clean/does dishes/cooks etc. Nothing and no relationship is perfect but we are making it work!
This is why I got married and its totally worth it!

Answer

I think it all depends on the person. I personally don’t care if I get married or not just isn’t important to me; however, it is very important and a necessity to some and that’s ok to.

Answer

We have both been divorced. I always joke when I hear bad relationship stories that's what the first marriage is for. Learn, mature and grow from picking those people. 
We plan to get married. But we are 39 and 46.  Grown kids except his 12yo. I want to be tied to him for the rest of my life, have his name.
