Considering the large number of marriage problems encountered by married folks, many other single boys and girls are still willing to dive headlong into the murky waters of matrimony mostly without knowing what's at stake.

According to the CDC, 50% of marriages do end in divorces.

Number of marriages: 2,077,000
Marriage rate: 6.8 per 1,000 total population
Divorce rate: 3.4 per 1,000 population (44 reporting States and D.C.)

So am trying to find out(purely for research purposes) why people do marry and willing to spend the rest of their miserable existence with one person. Why do people get married?

For love? (i dont even know what this means these days)

For money? (very possible)

For children? (how about adopting)

For sex? (crap, you can get this from any LovePeddler at the corner)

Mutual depency or some other bullshit

For the single ladies and gents, what are your thoughts(or lack of them) on this matter?

For the married folks here, dont feel slighted in any bit, but could you please provide us insights on why you got married in the first place and what possible benefits have you derived from or through your marriage. And also do share with us if you have ever felt the urge to stab your partner at night or do something horrible.


Pls note: This is not an attack on the marriage institution and should not be perceived as such.

Cheers!

The rite is just obligatory.

People marry for the shagging

would u not buy shares cos market value could crash?
Would u not buy a car cos of accident or theft?
Would u not.................

Marriage is to be enjoyed, I will marry cos I will enjoy it.

They do that to take a step further in their relationship. To make it official, follow God's instructions, etc

I get the gist now, apparently nobody knows the reason why. Hmm.
