Why did you get married?

scorned

I married my husband after a little bit of hestitation. I didn't want to get married again, I didn't know if I wanted to spend the rest of my life being married. I loved him to death, so I knew in my heart where I wanted to be. I love him more than life, and would gladly give mine for his.

To be honest, my husband went through a lot of horrible **** with his ex's. He met me and realized that not all women treat men the way they did. He proposed to me within a month of being together...he KNEW in his heart he wanted the strings, the committments, the life with a woman who would always be there for him...we've been married over a year now and just today he sent me a text message that said he could never love a woman as he does me, and that he would never think about going elsewhere...for even a thought. Now...when someone says something like that to you...you fall madly back in love with them.

Happy- Go

I married for the money

She told me she was pregnant, nine months later I found out she was just getting fat.

it was love at first sight and we knew we belonged together from the day we met.
We are both from diff. continents and met half a world away from our homes....so we were meant to be together.
We are soulmates...we think alike, have the same tastes in things...we love each other..we could not live without each other and that now since almost 17 years

I'm old fashioned. Wanted to have a family with kids. Didn't think it was fair to have children and not be married.

I tell it like it is

Love at first sight. 22 years later, and in love more now than ever, but not without a few bumps here and there. No, no-one cheated.

You know, and you can feel it,... We got married because we loved each other and that was it..

to many people get married for the wrong reasons!

She was/is/will be my best friend. When I get a piece of news, no matter how insignificant, I want to share it with her right away. I knew that meant she was the girl for me.

We got married because we realized how important it was for us. We went for several years (even had a child) knowing that we're committed fully to each other. But, we woke up one morning and realized we might as well make it official! After all, if we're already committed, there is no harm in going through with a piece of paper. It also ensures that he can receive my benefits. :)

You don't have to have a big wedding. Many people are choosing to have a small ceremony with just close friends and family. Or even elope!

Who Knew?

I truly love my husband. I could have cared less if we had a wedding for me it was just about being with him

I married my husband because I couldn't imagine going through life without him. We both have been through serious drama together and came out loving each other even more. We both know each other's flaws and still love each other just the same. We make a good team, where I slack he picks up and vice versa. Also, our relationship is built around trust and communication so we know a lot about each other and trust each other.

I've been married for 6 months now and nothing feels different. Marriage shouldn't change the person you're with, so don't expect that. If you're with the right person, marriage works out great. It's a big deal and a not so big deal all at the same time.

I truely love her..unconditionally...the way it should be....

Well, besides the common reason of Love, (personally, I would not marry for money...life's too short to be miserable in a marriage), marriage is (ideally) a life long commitment. We both know we're in it for the long run, and it is more permanant than just shacking up.

We don't agree on several small things, but we are both on the same page for the big ones...like family, religion, life-style, etc. When I knew we were happy with each other, and shared major common values, I figured we should go for it.

i marryed my husband because i love him.the first time i met him i know i was going to fall in love with him and spend my life with him and i was only 13.i still love him as much as i did before even more and after almost 6 years i still get butterfly's when we kiss or all excited when he comes home.you can just feel in in your gut when you really want to be with him forever or its just a fling

Simply Lovely

We got married because we want to grow old with someone. My husband and I just fit. :)

Now, my husband will tell you that I told him he had to marry while I was still cute because the older I got the harder it would be to find someone. :) He would be kidding though, he loves me and we take good care of each other.

my baby girl. She has a HEAVENLY {S}word for a HEAD>

Because the thought of him not being a part of my life was not something I ever wanted to think of. From the first moment we spoke I knew that something bigger than the two of us brought us together - it was this feeling, strangest thing. Everything we have gone through - the good, the bad and even some ugly - and every night we kiss and tell each other " I love you," and every morning the same. Good luck

The first time? High-school sweetheart. She was truly a wonderful person. We married young and her substance abuse was a primary factor in it ending 3-years later. I loved her, it just went bad.

The second time? Probably afraid of being alone. Looking back, I know I shouldn't have. All the red flags were there but I thought I could "rescue her" from whatever demons were tormenting her. Turns out she likely suffered from a mental illness known as borderline personality disorder. Despite many, many efforts to get things right, she would repeatedly quit counseling (faced with having to acknowledge some issues) and she finally pulled the plug after 8-years of marriage (with two kids).

Now, she continues her reign of chaos and terror on me and my new partner and all of our children.

What a question!!! Should be for love, but not so sure most get married for that reason. Ask someone who has been married for a few years and their answer would be quite different from a newlywed, I am sure.

My wife and I were best friends before we married. Our relationship is strongly based on mutual trust, mutual respect, and a deep love for one another.
Our decision to marry was based solely on our desire to commit completely to each other and to be together always.
We take the promises we have made to one another very seriously. We treat each other with complete respect, always. We believe that when two people truly and deeply love each other, there are ways you simply do not treat that person. We do not fight, argue, or disrespect one another. It was that way before we were married... and is still that way today. We have recently celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary.
Granted, not everyday will be shiny, and you will not always have the "perfect" relationship... but nothing in this world is perfect. It is all in how one chooses to react to the people and things in their lives.

because I love him and he loves me... we wanted to be a family and share the same name... If feels wonderful to say he is my husband and I love the sense of security I feel when speaking about the future together... it is much easier to walk away from a relationship but with a marriage... it takes alot of money and time... good luck

I decided to marry my spouse when I started to feel as if my life would not be the same without him. That being with him was not something I'd "get over" in 5 years. I usually gage decisions on the 5 year rule: 5 years from now will this be as important to me? I knew at that point that I wanted to commit to him, I didn't want the whole showy deal though, we went to Vegas and got married on the fly, it's been almost 9 years, and I'm still head over heels for him! Good Luck!

~So we could be as one~

And have children~

I would only do it once though!

lochrin_wow

I loved the woman very much ,, and still do

The fact the family owned three farms. 4 houses and lots of machinery had no influence.... even when i found out it was all on credit....

snoopy

Because I love him. We have been through alot togther, probably more then most would. We have a strong bond with eachother. It's been like this since day 1.

brokerman74067

that i loved her so much that i knew if i lost her i would lose the will to live. If she was that important to me i had to show to her that my committment made in front of God and my family was whole and totally devoted., good luck

Well, getting "married" and having a "wedding" are two different things.

I will be "marrying" my b/f within the next few months. We are not planning a public wedding ceremony/reception. We feel it's time to solidify our relationship legally, which can/will be done with no fan-fare, by a Justice of the Peace. The rest of it is just a lot of planning and expense that we're not prepared to invest right now.

I've been in a non-wedded relationship, and while everyone will tell you it's just a piece of paper, it's not. Legal marriage is still desirable in society - you are treated differently when you are married. Sad, but true.

bosniancutie_93

ummm love thats the most important thing that u love them and that u want to spend ur life with them

Your Uncle Dodge!

I wanted to have kids, and kids are supposed to come into this world with two loving and committed parents.

I was in the Navy and being sent to the Persian Gulf. I did not want to go there without having a baby, since they were going to give me shots that screw with your blood. I had been dating this one girl for 2 years, so I married her and got her pregnant. I don't regret my children at all - just picking her.

I'm just a marriage sort of person I guess. I believe in the commitment and the whole thing. I also think for legal reasons, such as in the event of a bad illness or death, God forbid...for rights in decision making. My first husband died very suddenly and unexpectedly, so I know all about dealing with those sorts of things. Both my husband and I are in this for the long haul, for better or worse as the saying goes. But he wasn't as anxious to tie the proverbial knot as I was. For him he thought of it as just a piece of paper. He'd been married twice before, and would have been pretty content just living together forever. I think he probably still feels that way to an extent, but I don't sense that he regrets marrying me. We've grown much closer as time has gone on, and I think he was afraid I'd change after we got married, which I didn't. We've been married for going on 2 years. And I didn't put a gun to his head or anything. He did know that our relationship sort of hung on it though. He had asked me to marry him, and we were living together for 6 months before we married, which was very uncomfortable for me. He didn't seem all that anxious to take that plunge, even though he was the one who had popped the question. We've talked about it...how he felt on our wedding day. He said he wasn't sorry...but that he was uncertain at the time whether he was making the right decision.

In Love<3

you will know if you want to spend the rest of your life with them. I have been with my boyfriend going on 3 years and I definately know he is the one i want to be with the rest of my life.. You dont need to just up and get married as like yall been dating for like 3 months! NOOO! dont do that wait a while and make sure.
