Because they want to try to picture themselves with the man that proposed in about 20 yrs. because they want to make sure they dont marry the wrong man. Not to mention that marriage is a big commitment and you cant get out of it as easy as dumping someone.

If you're asking whether societally people are still expected to find one person and marry them, then I would say that it applies less so than in the past, but marriage and a family is still what is generally expected by people. Certainly, people who choose not to marry are not as unusual as they once were, and it's more accepted to be unmarried. As proof, the words "Old Maid" and "Spinster" have virtually disappeared from the lexicon. \n\nIf you're asking if humans in general want to marry for life now like they used to, I do think the desire is still there, perhaps primally, in most people. As long as you find someone you truly love, it's natural to want to cement that person into your life with the convienient institution of marriage. I think fewer people just get married because they feel like they "have to" nowadays, however.

Because so many times the people getting married are too young and do not know what they are getting into. then they want to blame each other for the problem. \n\nMarriage is to easy to start and hard to end\n\nI was one of these silly girls. At 19 my parents wanted me to marry my first husband simply because he asked after knowing each other for 2 months. We were married for 5 years and he would beat me. I left him and took our two sons with me.\n\n5 years later I married the most wonderful man in the world. Racism is not an issue he is Arab and I am white. My family loves him as well. we have been married for a year and will be married for the next 100.

I'm not married yet, but my take on marriage is that it's the most sacred promise you can make to someone. People just don't honor it the way they should.

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

BCZ the money. they want to marrie their sons and daughters with a person that have more money, to give social status. i'm not in favor of that, i think that a person should get married for love, not for their parenst frustrated dreams. An you are right, a person that get married without love will hate the other. Find your "blue prince"

To an extent, yes, when you marry somebody, you also marry their family....holidays, birthdays, get togethers of any kind bring the entire family together...for better, or worse! The only GOOD thing is after the occasion, you can go home and leave them.

For the same reasons they married the first time, and possibly some new ones. Each person has his/her own reasons. I don't think there is a single answer to this.

Marriage is definitely NOT boring. Marriage is a lot of work by both people to make a happy life together. Many people get married too early and realize they are not ready for the work it takes to make a marriage last a lifetime.

Why would you want to date someone who's married?

People make mistakes, they marry the wrong people or for the wrong reasons.  Some people are fickle and fall out of love easily.  Others love the feeling of "falling in love" but when the honeymoon is over, it' over.  Others develop problems farther down the line.  As many divorces as there are, there are reasons for the divorce.\n\nPersonally, I don't want to restrict myself to a number, because as soon as I do, I'd break it.  I'd like to not ever want to marry again.

Any human?\nMost humans never understand themselves.  Marriage is a legal and sometimes religious contract to allow two people to stick together while they are finding out about themselves.\nIt is only as valuable as the honesty and loyality of the people making the vows.

What for? They are companions that understand what a relationship needs. Both have money and enterprises to take care of. Probably marriage for them is just a paper and for people as independent (in many ways) is not necessary a husband or wife to feel happy and/or complete.

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.
