A wedding is a ritual in which two people are united in marriage.
If you’re planning to get married, you might be wondering why you’re doing it. If so, here are some of the reasons why people choose to tie the knot.
You want to have children
The desire to have children is one of the most common reasons for getting married. Many couples get married with the intention of starting a family together and getting married makes it easier for them to raise their children.
You want financial security
“Marrying for money may be bad morality, but it’s good business.”
In many countries, marriage means that both partners are entitled to share each other’s wealth and assets. This can provide financial security if one partner dies or becomes disabled and unable to work. It can also provide an inheritance for any children they have together.
Another reason why people marry for money is because they feel that it gives them social status. In many countries, being married means that you are more likely to be taken seriously by others and treated with respect by society.
In countries where marriage is still a requirement for having children, such as China, some couples choose to marry because they want their child(ren) to have a legally recognised father or mother. Some parents also feel that marrying will give their child(ren) better access to education or healthcare than if they were born out of wedlock.
