15 Truthful Reasons Men Want To Get Married
movies and TV shows are to be believed, men only
settle down when a woman forces it on them with an
ultimatum.
But as we all know, that's not really the case. A recent
Reddit thread asked men why they want to tie the
knot, and the responses were a far cry from that
outdated gender stereotype. Check out 16 of their
honest rationales below.
1. Marriage allows me to show my love in a way that
nothing else can.
"It is a symbolic gesture of our love and commitment
to one another. The wedding itself gives friends and
family an excuse to even for a day truly celebrate our
relationship and life together."
2. Marriage provides a stable environment for kids.
"I want to have children. A marriage provides —
theoretically — the most stable environment in which
to raise children."
3. Because of marriage, the woman I love can
become my family.
"Because I love her, and I want her to be my family,
and I want a legal document that will tell the world
that she is my family."
4. Marriage is a money saver.
"The benefits, the benefits, the benefits. There are
1,138 federal benefits to a legally recognized
marriage."
5. It allows me to fully commit myself to one person.
"Commitment. Marriage is a promise that we'll be
together for life. Most of my acquaintances have a
fair-weather relationship. If things get shitty for them,
I'm not there. And in turn, if things get shitty for me,
they won't be there for me. Marriage is a promise
that you'll be there for each other even when things
are shitty. Furthermore, it's one that you've made in
front of your family and the world, so you're more
likely to work to keep it."
6. Life is easier when you have a partner by your side.
"Marriage is awesome. I'm celebrating my 5 year
anniversary in about a week and it was the best
decision I have ever made. Improving myself is
easier because I always have someone in my corner.
The good things are more exciting and the bad things
are more manageable when you don't have to handle
them alone."
7. The thought of loving someone forever makes me
happy.
"I want to be able to spend the rest of my life with
someone who I love and who loves me back. Thinking
about it makes me very happy."
8. I don't want to lose the greatest thing that's ever
happened to me.
"I got married because I honestly couldn't see myself
finding anyone like my wife, let alone a better fit for
me as a partner through life."
9. I believe traditions are important.
"The legal benefits are a pretty strong argument for it
if nothing else. Then there is the wedding itself which
is always fun, plus I think there is something to be
said for traditions, even if the actual ceremony
wouldn't resemble a traditional wedding in so many
ways."
10. I would do anything for the woman I love,
including marry her.
"Because it made my wife happy, and I love her so
much that I'd do anything to make her smile."
11. I'm excited to create an awesome family to make
up for the one I never had.
"My parents got divorced when I was in fourth grade,
and it made me pretty jaded about marrying
someone … When I think back on all of it, it actually
makes me want to get married. Having a really
awesome family of my own and doing everything I
can to ensure that none of that ever happens to my
children is one of my largest life goals. It's my own
way of correcting what happened in my own
childhood."
12. I want to spend my life with my BFF by my side.
"I get to spend my life with my best friend, whom I
admire and love tremendously."
13. I love the idea of committing to someone who
accepts me for who I am.
"I want to have someone who knows everything
about me, and accepts and supports it by my side
forever. I'm quite scared of it, especially after seeing
my parents marriage but I definitely yearn for that
companionship."
14. Marriage simply makes logical sense.
"Saying, 'my wife' is shorter than saying, 'my
girlfriend.'"
15. Life is so much better with a spouse.
"Honestly there's no aspect of [life] that's better than
being in a relationship. Sex? Better in a relationship.
Doing shit together? Better in a relationship (as long
as you both like the stuff.) I don't want to marry just
some girl I get along with, but if there is a girl I know
I could be happy with for the rest of my life, then why
shouldn't I ask her to marry me?"
