Answer 2

We have some friends who have lived together for nearly 30 years and have never gotten married. They have two beautiful children, who are grown now, and have always maintained a home and life together just like a married couple. If you ask them why they never married the usual reply is "It's just a piece of paper." So, I thought is it just a piece of paper or are there good reasons to get married. I started making a list and at the top of the list are our traditional reasons of God ordains marriage, family and children. Society accepts the union of a couple more readily if they are married, because you always get the question, "Is this your wife or husband?" and although society is getting more liberal, we still tend to frown on living situations that are different than traditional. Besides, I have never heard a name or title for the significant other that doesn't sound stiff or snobbish, "lover", "friend", "other half", even "boyfriend"or "girlfriend" loose their charm after a few years. So how do you introduce this person you have lived with for years? Financial institutions approve loans more quickly if there is the double income of a married couple to stand as collateral. Because, let's face it if there is no "paper" to bind a couple together very few couples would weather the storms of life together, and many choose to walk away from debt. When having a husband or wife does not guarantee that they will stay, but it does make the financial obligations fall to both parties. All acceptable reasons to get married, but still I thought there has to be good reasons that affect a couple monetarily. Then I thougt about getting old and getting Social Security benefits. My mother gets a small amount each month because she worked and paid in Social Security, but she also receives an extra amount because she is the widow of my Dad who paid in Social Security for many more years than she did and at a higher rate because his income was more than hers. You would not qualify for spousal benefits from Social Security if you never had a spouse. Also, the State of North Carolina does not recognize "Common Law Marriage", so if your significant other died without leaving a Last Will and Testament, by the intestate distribution law spelled out by our North Carolina General Statutes, you would not inherit anything from your significant other. The Statutes list in specific order who shall inherit from the deceased and they are all either related by blood or marriage. So perhaps there are a few good reasons to get married, but I am sure if we wanted to debate the pros and cons, there are reasons not to get married. Hebrews 13:5 "Marriage is honourable".

Answer 3

Some people prefer to live together and do it quite well, while some of us want to be married under God's presence and mean what we say when we say our vows. If one feels that being married and saying those vows will make the two stay together and work through the problems that will arise in their marriage so be it. Statistics show that whether living common law or being married in a church the ratio of divorce is high in both. Personally speaking, I preferred being married in church under the eyes of God the first time, but my partner forgot those vows. The second time I was married it was a Chapel Wedding and I'm happy to say that my partner and I have been happily married for 36 years. It made my husband and I feel closer and that we making an solemn oath to each other which in turn made us work harder through the rough spots that every married couple have to go through. It's really up to the two individuals.

Answer 4

Marriage is a partnership. Something that should be sacred and taken seriously. You have a companion and a champion, someone who will always be there for you. Right or Wrong. If you take care of each other. Respect is the key.

Answer 5

Arranged marriages are good as they happen with the knowledge of the parents. Because the parents would do the best for their children as they have more experiences, they will want to find the right person. Both sets of parents will be happy with the couple. As the marriage progresses, there is support from both families as they have agreed to the marriage. They will be more willing to help if there are difficulties, which doesn't happen if a family were never in favour of the marriage to begin with. So they will give support and this can be called on if needed by the couple.

Answer 6

I'm assuming you mean legal benefits, not emotional ones. Depending on where you live, there could be hundreds of benefits -- just ask someone who's been through a divorce. Here's a starter list:

* "right of survivorship" -- if your spouse dies, you are automatically entitled to any money or property that hasn't been willed to anyone else * "power of attorney" -- if your spouse cannot sign contracts or make legal or medical decisions, that power automatically goes to you as next of kin * "visitation rights" -- if your spouse is sick, the hospital cannot keep you from visiting them * any number of tax breaks * you and your spouse are eligible for Federal benefits (Social Security, for example) * if an employer allows insurance benefits for spouses, your spouse is eligible * you cannot be compelled to testify against your spouse * you can adopt children

Answer 7

1. You have someone to talk to all the time, and talk about your issues with them.

2. You can share your financial wealth. So basically you have more money and financial support.

3. You can start a family without it being a crime (e.g. you not being married)
