Why do people get married?


These days (and those past) people get married for many reasons...They do it because they want to start a family, they do it because they are in love, they do it for religious reasons, for security, for the hell of it!!...Divorce is not on the rise because peeps get married for the wrong reasons, it's on the rise because it's socially acceptable, the stigma of divorce is long gone...I wonder, are you asking this question because, at the tender age of 30, you don't see the point of marriage?....Or is it just curiosity?....


Just curious what people thought.

Be a good father/mother but is a lousy person to date/have a relationship with?

Well sometimes the best people end up far away. I know the ideal is to find someone closer but it doesn't always pan out exactly as you want it.

I don't even know your story but on the surface it seems fine to me. You're a good looking guy, young, tall, musician, can express yourself without using texting talk, you're a Scot (we love accents here). What's the problem then right? I think it's just things not lining up the way they should. Have you tried other options like another dating site?

Even if you choose, as a woman to work through problems, I think the transitioning stage for some men can make it harder for them in a relationship. Especially for a man who doesn't open up about what's really going on. There's that trust issue. Like crying and showing emotions, they believe it's shaming to not have their finances in order.

In all honesty, would you date/stay in a relationship with someone in transition of becoming financially stable?

Have you tried asking those who are married?


Of the times I did ask I didn't get an answer.


Not one married person could tell you why they got married? Weird.


I reserved the right to ask everyone who's married on the planet since I can't afford it yet. So far it's a handful of people on my budget.

I would say it matters yes. Rather prefer someone working in a job/profession/career that adds and contributes in a positive way as opposed to taking away.

Does it matter what the opposite sex does for a living when you're dating them?


Yes...What they DO matters to me, what they EARN does not....flowerforyou


Just our hearts, right? :wink:

I sent the first inquiry, once.
Paid off big time :-)

I am guessing that fear plays a small part, more
I think tis the way things have always been.

You chase us and chase us.
Til we finally catch you :-)


If fear plays only a small part than your suggesting possibly traditional behaviour.

That is funny "You chase us and chase us. Til we finally catch you...)


I have a Twister mat, anybody wanna play a real game?

Possibly out of tradition, never been married before, a means of showing committment to another individual.


Isn't this only a means to having a family? If you're committed to someone you don't have to be married, right?



You are right, one does not need to be married to have a family, or be committed to them. This is why I said traditional for those whom see relationships in a traditional sense.

I know a few people who were together for decades and then got married. Some were successful, while other were not.

It is up to the two individuals, especailly with the changes that occur in society today.


I was agreeing with you before. I realize it's a tradition I was adding children to the deciding factor as they combine together usually.

I don't know if it's always both people deciding, sometimes one person feels obligated to do so for fear of being alone or sometimes it's a green card situation. bigsmile

you thought of doing now that your older and then said I might have done that if I was younger ...



what would that be ...

for instance... I might have done bungee jumping when I was younger...
but now I am to skeptical ...


Further my gymnastics career. I guess until a certain age those skills aren't a passed 20-something thing.

My problem with that particular answer if that I wonder if said person ever thinks for themselves and speaks from their own brain.


I understand what you mean and I agree it can be very annoying IF the person has no personal interests or never initiates the conversation and when all they do...is some up with generalities.

However...in my defense....maybe give them the benefit of doubt....(or not)

In my case it simply is a question of time sometimes..or..it's a way of avoiding the question halfway politely...

It can also simply be a way of showing you a mirror...



It's not really about initiating anything. It's just follow through of the conversation. And it's not hard unless they literally can't think for themselves and have to give the generic answer. I realize once in a while if you don't want to answer then that's when people say it. Why don't you just say: "I'd rather not answer."? Don't know why it's so hard for some people to do.

Not really. It's more of a cop out than politely and honestly saying that you don't want to answer it.

Not true. Can't speak for the entire human species personality and values. The only thing that we all have in common is that we're all humans and alive. Personality is unique and not everyone was made to think, act, believe the same as everyone else.

Do you ever while talking to someone ask them a question and they give the "everyone does this" answer instead of personally answering the question?


But it was only that one time and I didn't inhale.


When you put your mouth on it did it taste good?
