Because it is the right thing for any responsible and reasonable person should do. Except of course you are celibate.

I don't at the moment, but I guess it would make economic sense to have a cook, cleaner, comforter, etc all in one and at the token price of a bride price for the rest of my life , come on ladies, it is only a joke

Because i'm tired of being happy.

So that I can act in Tyler Perry's third installment of crapola

@Atreides
Because i wanna have kids. . Lets not deceive ourselves;love,companionship,blah blah blah are all well and good,but the main purpose of marriage is to start a family.

Absolute load of tosh! Does that mean if you can't get pregnant for some reasons after the marriage e.g your husband's got low or no spermatozoa count, you'd go out and get him a *bas.t.ar.d* child? If you miss the main purpose, then you're unlikely to have your thinking cap on in your quest for a child (at all cost). The main purpose is LOVE. If you love your partner, then the rest is 2ndry!

not sure

I'm tired of all these selfish boys that think they can come and chop and then go onto the next when they are tired.
I see this mindset in a lot of young men these days - one of the reasons I put dating on hold.

I want a man to love me enough to be able to declare his love for me before God and Society stating that he is willing to spend the rest of his life with me.
I want to fulfill the plans of God in my life because they were made for my benefit and not for my harm.
I want to have legitimate sex (don't believe in fornication) and have legitimate children.

There is beauty and blessings in marriage to the right person that a mere "committed relationship" cannot not have - even though some people are in denial of this fact.

kodewrita:

Many reasons
1. Love
2.Companionship
3. Helper to assist in many tasks
4. Anatomical/Biological : Certain aspects of my anatomy are designed to fit into certain receptacles and the jigsaw must be assembled. enough said.
5. I need to complete the cycle and unleash the next set.
6. Consolidation of costs and Increase in earning capacity: Same roof, same pots, Same bed(most important), different income sources
7. Societal. So all you married people can stop stylishly reminding me with Married couples' fellowship, couples' night, married men meeting, Married & Responsible and countless other married excreta.
8. Peace of mind. So that my sisters, friends , MUM can stop match-making me with dumb girls with big b**bies.

GBAM!
Nothing more to add

I read alot of funny reasons anyway its personal opinion, Well I think their is nothing as illegitimate kids, Well for me the simple reason why I want to get married is because it's inline with the word of God and also two heads are better than one, I hope I find the lucky Man, I know I will so no shaking

'cos I think I don't have the grace to be celibate.

Because am in love, yep I AM!
