Why do people get married?

Hmmm... If one day someone is to ask you," Why do you want to get married?"
What will be your answer?

This sudden thought got me thinking.
Ya, WHY???

---

I've read an article before which says people get married in the hope of improving their life. No one marries to sacrifice for the other person. People marry because somehow they believe it makes life better for themselves.
A rather true but unromantic answer for most ladies.

Men only marry if they believe it will make their life better. They do not marry because they want to sacrifice their pleasure or give up their joy for you. A man who sees marriage as burdensome, hard, upsetting, or painful will avoid marrying. It has little to do with love. A person may love you, but avoid marrying you (or anybody else) if they somehow believe life with you will be difficult.

So Does Marriage Make People Happy, Or Do Happy People Get Married?

More ponderings to do...:P
