Top 10 Reasons to Get Married

Marriage is a union of two individuals. Marriage is not a new concept and has been around for thousands of years as the way of celebrating the love and commitment between a man and a woman. People get married all the time for several reasons including wrong reasons like money and immigration. Given below are 10 reasons to get married.

1) Love: If you love some one you would not like to lose them. You would also want to share your life with the one you love. By marriage you are taking a life time commitment and responsibility to be there for your partner.

2) Social Acceptance: By getting married you are giving your relationship acceptance in the society. Marriage is the moment of truth or commitment. Many people may have been in our life but by saying the marriage vows in front of our friends and family we are proclaiming our choice of partner for the rest of your life.

3) Partnership: Marriage is about partnership and companionship where you can share the responsibilities and rely on the other person when you need support. The whole process of sharing names, wearing rings, signing forms - whatever you choose to do as part of your wedding rites - marks a transition between 'individual' and 'partnership'.

4) Legal Rights : You may not imagine you'll ever be hurt. When things go wrong it is easy to claim legal rights.

5) Security: Marriage gives a feel of security that there is someone for you who would love and care for you.

By being married, you give the kids the stability they crave growing up and form a secure base from which they can go out and meet their peers.
