The Right And Wrong Reasons On Why Do People Get Married

Getting married is like every person's dream that seems so much like an achievement. Maybe it is, but it shouldn’t just be the goal. Getting married to the right person at the right time and for the right reasons should be. The rate of divorce in recent times would make you wonder if anyone actually thinks it through before saying yes to their partners. This is becoming quite alarming because the divorce rate keeps increasing by the day, leaving many broken hearts, broken homes and relationships.

Marriage is a lifelong agreement with not just the love of your life, but also your best friend and because it is meant to be a long lasting and eternal bond, people are meant to think critically, before getting into this agreement. For you to have a successful and long-lasting marriage, you have to understand the purpose of marriage, the benefits, know that it has loops sides and also take the necessary time to choose carefully. A lot of people hardly ever think about it, they just jump into it and most times for the wrong reasons. A few of these reasons could be

•    Sex,

•    Peer pressure,

•    You want freedom from your parents,

•    Maybe as a result of pregnancy,

•    Could be for money

•    To prove a point (that perhaps you are an adult)

•     Because your friends are,

•    To rid yourself of loneliness/ fear of loneliness and so many more reasons

Meanwhile, there are the right reasons why you should marry and when you can come to terms with these reasons, only then would you truly be able to maintain you’re marriage. The real best and right reasons why you should marry should be because

•    You are genuinely willing to share the rest of your life with your partner

•    You have found it necessary, and you are comfortable with your partner

•    You both love yourselves genuinely

It is essential that you make this choice without any sort of external pressure and a clear and straight mind. This would enable you to decipher if you are on the right track or not.

What is the purpose of getting married? Is it just to have sex and bear children? Or what? We have all been asking these questions, so many young couples don’t even know the reason they are getting married, and they don’t understand what it entails and the responsibilities it also comes with. The purposes for which marriage became an established act are:

Enjoyment and freedom become detrimental when self-control is excluded from the equation. In this context, I am referring to sex; you would be a bit more restrained having sex outside marriage compared to someone who does so when married. The liberty here merely is, being able to live your lives, have as much sex as you want without the fear of pregnancy. You get the choice and opportunity to explore as much as you can spouse, all within the confines of your home or outside if you decide.

This not only applies to sex, but to every other aspect of your life, you get to leave as you want with your spouse

Pure and genuine companionship is one of the most essential purposes of marriage. Being married to a friend and spending the rest of your life with him or her is definitely one of the most amazing perks of marriage. Companionship is one of the sole purposes, alongside love as it helps you go through the tough and good times much better. Having someone, you can call your own, love and also support you.

Nothing is better than finding someone who completes you and makes you a better portion of yourself. Marriage causes you to become one with your partner; it is officially binding the two of you forever. Here the couples fill in for each other in parts of their lives where they are lacking and help each other grow.

The joy and blessing of children is one that is incomparable to any other thing. Giving birth and having children is one of the biggest joys and blessings that comes with marriage, and it is one of the most essential purposes of marriage. It ensures continuity and brings so much happiness to families.
