Why did you get married?

Question

Mia-Wallace · Accepted Answer

Mainly:
1. Because we want to have children together and have a family of our own
2. Because we are conservatives and it is our tradition
3. Because we could afford it

What made us relatively sure we can have a successful marriage:
1. We cohabited for about 4 years with no serious drama
2. We were childhood friends and have a very long history of bonding with each other
3. We communicate with each other very well
4. We are sexually compatible

I could and would continue cohabiting with him until one of us died if it was just for love. Marriage was mainly for children, family, and traditions.

For me it was just time to bring my relationship to that next step. I had been dating my husband for 2.5 years, had a child together so it was time to move out of that dating stage

I CHOSE to marry... because ANY journey is more enjoyable in GOOD company!
When you function as a couple, ... a long-term 'partnership', you DOUBLE the potential of perceptions, perspectives, vigilance and unique insights.

You 'half' the chances of acting rashly.
It increases your (pl) opportunities, especially if amorally-cunningly inclined
favoring that committed partnership.
"Enough here for everyone BUT... me & mine foremost.
'We' can't help others without cunningly-applying the existing resources"

It is said: "A WISE person 'makes' more opportunities, than they find" ~

Because it's a mission and a venture that takes serious work behind it, solid foundations, and a willingness to make an effort that will last for decades. That's the kind of view I take for all my endeavors - marriage, politics, and work. Not one, not five, not ten years, but for life.

I wanted to share my life with a great man who was crazy about me.

Not because of love but because I need her. I need to make her happy. Committing my life to her as a leader and a servant is the only thing that gives my life meaning. Her happiness somehow feels better than my own. sacrificing my desires for her happiness and well-being gives me the greatest sense of contentment. (I know it sounds simpy bit I do everything for her even if she doesn’t agree with what’s best)

I think marriege is not only security also promise not to cheat and take care of eachother in sickness like a contract that you can not just drop your wife if she lose her arm or get cancer or accident she or he get paralized, because in old days women used to be just housewives , take care of kids and clean an cook for the house with no income so if husband left her how can she take care of the kids or herself thats why government brought marriage licence to the table to protect both sides, suppose you won the lottery and run out the door with no obligations if you were not married :) or find another woman , just think there would be a lot of affairs going around if you were not married and would not be illegal.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

We got married as it was a logical step after dating and it also entitled us to Forces Accommodation, which for newly weds is a big thing.

it was also to do with death in service and pensions.

yes we would have gotten married anyhow, this just made it a bit more of an obvious thing to do.

I am now divorced and unsure if would get married again.

and before anyone jumps on the divorce bandwagon, my ex wife and me are very good friends and still chat regularly.

Only because I found the right person and I have high standards which they proved they could meet over a long period of time so they earned it. If I didn't happen to meet the right person then I wouldn't get married.

Note: Guys should never get married without a prenup in today's world.

exitseven · Answer

I was really sick of dating. I was tired of the games and the deceit and dumping people and getting dumped. I was ready to give up women for a while maybe forever.
I met my future wife the very next day and discovered somebody who I was waiting for my whole life.

Because I love her. It doesn't make sense, love doesn't make sense. To be successful at it, you have to put someone else's needs and wants ahead of your own. This is not natural, and yet you do it anyway.

Seemed like the right person for me at the time but she changed a lot from that time and I never did so things didn’t work out later on but we did have kids too so that was good
