Why Marry?

People tend to idealize marriages. People think that they would live happily together without fights but the truth is most of them do not know what they're getting themselves into. They hope to gain a sense of belonging, care, companionship, and a few other things. They love each other and think that the love would stand all challenges and want to make it known to the world. Sadly these days the percent of people who stay married with the same person is not as high as it use to be. People fall in love too quickly and make rash decisions. Some ignore the possible responsibilities that they have to take on once they enter a marriage. They give up time that use spend on other activities (most likely leisure) to spend more time taking care of responsibilities. The guys might have to sacrifice games night with the boys and the girls may have to sacrifice ladies' night out. But it all depends on the dynamic of the couple originally. If it was a healthy relationship to start with then getting married would not be so different from living together and being in a relationship other then the fact that it is legally binding. However sometimes when the two side have a different expectation of what changes will occur conflict begin to occur. The guy might be expecting more trust from the girl and less questioning and when the girl doesn't change that the guy gets angry and starts a fight.
There really are two reasons as to why people get married in my mind. One would be just because they are blinded by their "love" and rush into it. The second would be that they actually thought it through and spent enough time with the other person to know that they want to live with them for the rest of their lives and just want to make it official for everyone to know. Both ways is a kind of demonstration of how much love the couple has. One is just with out through thought and another one with.
