WHY PEOPLE MARRIED
While love may be the biggest reason people marry, it's not the only one. In general, people make the commitment to spend their lives together for more than a single reason. Every couple chooses to commit to marriage because it serves their needs and supports their values and dreams.
Most People Marry for Love
For many couples, emotional reasons are the most obvious cause for walking down the aisle
Love
Marriage is designed to mirror our Creator’s unconditional love for us. It’s a love that will always be there and will never leave us or forsake us. When a man and woman love one another unconditionally.
Some Marry for Financial Benefits
Getting married can be very practical for financial reasons.
People May Marry for Health Insurance
Health insurance is another motivator for some who choose to get married. Sharing medical insurance for couples and families can be very cost effective and may prompt some to walk down the aisle.
Couples Marry to Have Children
The Pew Research Center survey also suggests that having and raising children may be a motivator for people to make a lifelong commitment. According to the survey, 41% of respondents listed having children as a main reason they chose to marry.
Couples Marry for Legal Reasons
Legal reasons are also a major commitment motivator in 23% of marriages, according to the Pew Research Center.
Almost Couples Marry for Religious Reasons
About 30% of couples also choose to get married for religious reasons, according to the Pew Research Center survey. In some faiths, a couple may not be considered married if they only complete a civil ceremony - a religious ceremony is required to confirm their union before the eyes of God.
Some Marry Because of Society's Expectations
Although there are no statistics to tell how many couples marry because of societal expectations, there's no denying that many couples feel intense peer pressure to marry from their parents, relatives, or other married friends, particularly if they already have children or plan to start a family. Single individuals may also be pressured to "settle down" and get married, and for some people, the appeal of a party to celebrate their union is incentive enough to get married.
The decision to get married or to move in with a partner is a personal one, but for most married and cohabiting adults, love and companionship trump other considerations, such as the desire to have children someday, convenience or finances. For a majority of those who are married – especially if they didn’t live with their spouse before marriage –wanting to make a formal commitment is also a major factor in their decision to marry.
Parenting
When a marriage produces a child or receives a child through adoption, it is one of life’s greatest blessings. Roughly 40% of children being raised today are in a home without a father. The effects of that fact are staggering. Father absence causes increases in mental and behavioral disorders as well as criminal activity and substance abuse. But when children are raised in a healthy marriage, they get a front row seat to see and experience the lasting benefits of a strong family.
DON NOT RUSH TO GET MARRIED
Sit-down and watch very carefully before choosing a spouse do not rush make a cleared observation and do not take someone idea or interest to be make your own decision.
