Why people married

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.

DISCUSS THE CAUSES, OR INCIDENCE AND EVALUATE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVOLUTION IN ARAB AFRICAN OF RECENT.

UNIVERSITY OF MAIDUGURI FACULTY OF SOCIAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT: POLITICAL SCIENCE COURSE TITLE: REVOLUTION AND SOCIETY COURSE CODE: PLS 416 Introduction Arab Spring, wave of pro-democracy protests and uprisings that took place in the Middle East and North Africa beginning in 2010 and 2011, challenging some of the region’s entrenched authoritarian regimes. The wave began when protests in Tunisia and Egypt toppled their regimes in quick succession, inspiring similar attempts in other Arab countries. Not every country saw success in the protest movement, however, and demonstrators expressing their political and economic grievances were often met with violent crackdowns by their countries’ security forces. The Arab Spring (Arabic: الربيع العربي, romanized: ar-rabīʻ al-ʻarabī) or the First Arab Spring was a series of anti-government protests, uprisings and armed rebellions that spread across much of the Arab world in the early 2010s. It began in Tunisia in response to...
