Why do people get married in religion?

Answer 1

People need something to say, we are one we are apart. Getting married is simply away to express this. Society has corrupted the world, it is now thought that to really be in love you must be married.And in religion it's just a contract saying we will always be together and not cheat

Answer 2

The better way to ask the question is "Why does God say that people should be married [before having sex]?" Because religion is simply humans thinking that they have to do this or do that. The real question to anything in life is, what does God think about _____?

The reason why God made marriage is for the benefits of humans. If people waited for marriage to sleep together, never had adulterous affairs and never made or watched pornography- relationships would be a million times better than where they are today.

God created marriage so that humans would never have:

-STDs.

-Broken hearts/lives from a partner that cheated or left them.

-Emotionally hurt children from seeing a parent take off for greener pastures.

-Single parents wearing themselves out to raise a child alone.

-Humiliated teenagers and pre-teens who are pregnant and their boyfriends took off, avoiding responsibility.

-And much more...

Science today is finding out that casual sex or sex with several partners actually is unhealthy for both males and females. Things like prostitution and pornography are even more devastating to hormonal imbalance, self worth and relationships in all areas of life.

God created sex for the sake of 1) bringing babies into the world and 2) intimacy with that one person who knows you and loves you better than anyone else. A faithful spouse who waited until marriage to have sex, not only thinks that you are worth waiting for but eliminated all the emotional scarring, baggage and health issues that go along with sleeping around.

Simply put, God is similar to someone who builds a computer (except He's a bazillion times smarter). The one who builds the computer knows what the computer can handle and what it cannot handle. They know that if someone tries to use the computer in a way that it wasn't built for (e.i. throwing it off a cliff), then the computer will be damaged in some way shape or form. Same thing with humans. God built us for trusting, safe, faithful and intimate relationships but, when used in a way that we can't handle (although we think we can), physical, emotional, mental and spiritual damages occur.

Answer 3

Religion controls us, religion stops us from many things. It stops us from believing other religions; it stops us from marrying people from other religions; it stops us from going to a temple, or church, institutions of other religions . Therefore, religion is not liberating, religion controls. All religions control but all religions are good….they are like kindergartens. They teach us the ABC of God. If you want the Truth, if you want to truly live, we need to go beyond religion, not change our religion, we need to believe in spirituality; believe that we are all Divine Spirits; believe that we may appear to be of different religions but in reality, we are children of one God - the one creator that has created everything. Then we will break these beliefs of marrying in the same religion. We will actually be questioning the need of marriage - whether we really need to marry because the ultimate goal is liberation, freedom and unification with the Divine.
