Survey: Why do you want to get Married?

I want to get married, so I can spend the rest of my life with my husband. He is always going to be here for me and vice versa. I won't have to be alone because he will be there. I understand when you say cater to because when you find that person (at least it is for me) you want to do anything for them. You want to make thm happy.

I got married really young (at 18), and stayed married for 12 years. Looking back now, with some life experience under my belt, it was actually , for the most part, and most of the time, a pretty good marriage. We truly just 'grew apart', or possibly, 'grew up' and away from each other.Even though I haven't had contact with him for a couple of years, a part of me still loves him and always will. I will always wish him well. He is a good, decent man, and I acknowledge that we may have taken each other's love for granted in the end. Another case of me not knowing what I had until it was gone.

Now, years after the divorce, I can say that if I were ever to marry again, it would only be with a man that I consider a true friend, someone I trust, respect, love. If I am ever blessed to find that, then yes I would marry again, for the companionship and security that is possible with a good marriage.

Looks, fancy cars, what the friends and neighbors think, have nothing to do with anything.

If you are fortunate enough to find someone you can laugh with, someone you feel attracted to (for whatever reason), someone you like to listen to and who listens back, someone who shares your goals, someone you can expose your insecurities to, someone you can hold an interesting conversation with, someone you love and trust who also loves and trusts you in return, someone you want to hold onto in the middle of the night, I say go for it...

Marriage done right can be awesome. Not necessarily problem free, but awesome just the same. It does take BOTH people working for it to be special. Just remember to realize and cherish it when you find 'it'.

Yet, having said all that, I have also learned, through dating since my divorce, that if that 'right' person DOESN'T come along, so be it. There is little worse than a 'bad' relationship. Little worse than putting your trust in someone who abuses that trust. Drama is so over-rated.

It is better to be alone, than just WISH you were alone.

hmm marriage as suppose to defacto/living together??

Well if you want to share your life with a man, I suggest living together first for at least 3 years. That way you'll find out about his bad habit, family, real personalities and whether he is a cheater or not!!?!

Then after that..perhaps marriage...just remember to have pre-nup drawn..if you have some assets :)

Why marriage?? well to simply have a soulmate, a friend to talk to, a shoulder to cry on..seriously! and someone that can take care of you when you are sick..sad and lonely

Make sure that you know his shits..you know history...including if he has cheated on any girl and also please marry wisely..so you don't have to go through painful divorce..

some couple even disputed over their dogs and cats during divorce...not children anymore...

Good Luck and Choose your man wisely because there are lots of liars out there

You have a great answer yourself!

I want to get married, though I'm sure I'm not ready at this point in time. However, I want to share my life with someone special, the guy meant for me! I also want to raise a family.

well at first i didn't even wanted to get married. i never think i can ever get married. i've been proposed once.. but i wasn't ready and the relationship fell apart after that. now i met someone who i feel it would be great if we could share our lives cos we have SO much fun being together. like, it wouldn't hurt to try. and it doesn't matter if we get married or not. but looks like he wanna get married in the future (me or not me that depends on how well we work out together) and if it turns out to be me, i wouldn't say no this time.

I want to marry out of love.

If you found someone that you love more than yourself and you can see yourself spending the rest of your lives together then why not. I believe in soul mates... People just have to look for theirs. Love is a beautiful thing so why not make it official! I can't wait to get married!

It's never been my life's dream to get married. I never dreamed of my wedding as a little girl. It never mattered much to me...Until I met my fiance. It's the kind of love I've never experienced before. Way stronger than I can put into words. I thought I was in love in the past, but this is entirely different. Anyway..He asked me to marry him and of course I said yes. There's nothing I'd rather do than spend the rest of my life with him.

I want to because i want to feel like someone actually cares for you and loves you. It would be great to be married but it would have to be the right person so it would hopefully last forever.

Do we go public on this,,,lol.

I like the warm feeling of sharing things and time together.

Marriage is making your life and existence, complete.

With a good helping of fun and love thrown in too.
