I would also appreciate fellow Nairaland users to discuss this issue of the "real essence of marriage".
Some have it that the reason why people go into marriage is due to LOVE why other people say that it is for the sake of procreation.
Please highlight your views.

People go into marriage for the sake of love, some because everyone is doing it, others because it is what is expected by their parents and many for the sake of children.
I was once told that you don't go into marriage for the sake of love but respect because love dies out. My personal view is that love overules and marriage should take place on these grounds.

These are some few reasonS for marriage :
1. it is ordaine by God - it is the first instution, intiated by th Almighty God Himself.
2. for procreation- God said mutiply and fill the earth hv dominion.it is meant for reproduction,sustaince of life
3. for companion - Bilble says woe to him that stand alone. because when he fells there is nobody to support and encourage him, when he is cold there is nobody he can cleaved to, so as to generate heat
4. Protection
5. For fellowship
6.the upbring of the children i. e direction to the next generation etc.
please help out, l am block upstair, because l know there are up.

i think its cuzz of God (for those that believe ooo) cuzz most of the things Nosu mentioned above can be got without the person being married. love(for those that believe), procreation and happiness are mostly reasons people get married. this doesnt mean they can't get them if they aint married. marriage is just what they use to seal it up.

Like some have rightly pointed out, marriage insitutionalises a partnership between a man and a woman (man & man or woman and woman as has become the case recently  ) It accords legality to such a partnership so that either partner can seek redress should anything go wrong. Children from illegal marriages are termed bastards. Not a nice title to bear  I know of such a partnership. The man is extremely rich and educated. He is also a playa playa. He never got married to the partner. She just moved in and they started proliferating kids. They literally banged their way into the partnership. She can only sit back and look. There's no divorce nor settlement in this case. She can only (should she choose to) walk out from his house like any other friday-night-one-night-stander. Only this time, we are talking of more than 15 years. So marriage is essential. It is sacred and should be regarded as such. |

A lot of guys marry because they want to monopolise their partners! - You meet a girl
- become friendly
- go out on dates
- the next thing you plan is how to take her to bed (if you like, disagree you pretenders)
- after tasting the forbidden fruit, you assess it and decide if you want to continue
- If you decide to continue, you know think of how the forbidden fruit would be yours and yours alone
- marriage then comes in
- in the course of eating the fruit, she gets pregnant and the story continues
