Why should people marry?

Is the purpose getting fulfilled?
SW-User Best Comment
Aside from the benefits of joint tax filing, visitation rights, etc., I don't see why.

Yeah. So, do you think it's worth it?

@itjustbegan: if you're male and/or the breadwinner- no.

People should marry when they are each conscious enough to realize how important compromise is.

@Peaceful: Sounds to me like it's not a thing for everyone.

@itjustbegan: I whole heartedly agree. The same thinking applies to children.

@Peaceful: Yes, yes. I see now.

It's to ensure the welfare of your partner and offspring- as well as making a loving commitment.

@itjustbegan: Because people question the value of marriage too much. It should be a highly respected institution.

@LucyRocks: So without faith, it's nothing, I get that. Because the purpose won't get fulfilled if you get divorced.

@itjustbegan: If people value marriage they won't get divorced as often.

well my current time it was and still is a highly spiritual and loving matter between my best friend and I. The first time however, was almost completely due to sexual matters. It was great, don't get me wrong, but sex is just sex, making love is almost always a lot better sex.

How is that related to marriage?
OKWTF2 · 51-55, M
@itjustbegan: my current marriage was due to spiritual and a far deeper love that many can not achieve on their own, my 1st marriage was mostly sexual in its nature. sorry, I should have been more clear, but people get freaky here when you talk about spiritual and religious stuff and I try to avoid that headache

@OKWTF2: I see spirituality and religions as different things. Though, I am not a fan of religions, I see it as important for holding a marriage for immature people. If you're religious as well as spiritual, then marrying for spiritual reason makes sense. I am not religious, so marrying for spiritual reasons doesn't suit for someone not religious.
And I understand how spiritual experience can be enhanced with the help of someone else.
