Marriage is a beautiful thing, surely. But it appears that what we thought was the core reason a lot of people (men and women) get married, may not really be.<\/p>\n

A twitter user recently conducted a poll on the possible reasons people get married, and I have to say the outcome was quite interesting.<\/p>\n

Obviously, a lot of us did or want to do it because of love, but that is only according to a certain percentage of the respondents in the poll. In fact, there were 7 different results from the poll. Shocking right? Especially since we all thought love and the need to be with the one you love forever was the primary reason.<\/p>\n

According to the poll, only 88% of participants get married for love, another 81% said they do it because they want to make a lifelong commitment, and only 76% chose companionship as their reason. I find that a little weird though, because I always thought companionship and love were the ultimate.<\/p>\n

In other results of the poll, 49% said they do it to have children, 30% do it because of religious reasons, 28% for financial stability, and 23% do it for legal rights and benefits.<\/p>\n

I also took out time to do some research of my own on the subject, and interestingly, I got some extra reasons. A few people say they get married to fit in. These are the ones who come from societies where being married is a big deal. In these societies, when you’re unmarried at a certain age, a lot of pressure sets in from parents and other family members, as well as friends.<\/p>\n

The other group of people from my poll suggested the need for quick sex as their reason. When you have a partner you can call your own, it’s different from having a boyfriend or girlfriend who can choose to not be available at given times.<\/p>\n

I think all of those reasons are valid, but I personally consider love and companionship as the ultimate. If I love you, I definitely want to spend the rest of my life with you, and to do that, we have to make it legal (get married). That is what I think, but then, we all differ in our needs and choices, so I know yours might be different from mine.<\/p>\n

Please, tell us why you would consider marriage. Do you agree to the aforementioned reasons from the poll?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
