Do you have any reason to get married?

Yes, I'm a very old-fashioned traditional Christian Westerner. I want a wife to spend my life with and a bunch of kids to pass on my legacy. I have never considered any other option.

The same applies to any traditional culture. Any culture that doesn't support marriage won't last long enough to develop a tradition.

Yes, I think that this video hammers the point home best. The nonreligious do not reproduce themselves.

Sure, some people are celibataries and do not have any reason to engare even in romantic relationships.

But my question is more wide. I am trying to get a reason of why people get married. Some people want to get married for religious reasons, but people can have another reasons to get married. A noble family have the notion of perpetuation, and not one to give birth to a life.

It's a sensible question for me because there are people, nice and good working, who never had the opportunity to found someone to be with, because they are invisible to social appeal. Some people are invisible because they do not attend some social prerrogative which is considered the best for the moment.

Life is strange, I can see the pain of some lover who is accidentally wide open to all kind of romantic tendecies. But I cannot see why the romantic engagement needs to be a pain to someone.

Christ says that prostitutes and publicans enters firsts in the Reign of Heavens. So, why a prostitute enters first in the Heavens than a pious woman? So, religion itself have his misteries.

There is no reason to fear solitude but also there is no reason to fear intimacy and relationships. So, the fear of intimacy leads to where? Also, the fear of solitude?

But maybe I am misunderstanding the crucial point of your answers. Dignity is maybe the point here. 

There are some other passage:


Luke 7:37-48

New International Version

37 A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. 38 As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.



39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.”



40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”



“Tell me, teacher,” he said.



41 “Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”



43 Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.”



“You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.



44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”



48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

Perpetuation and giving birth to a life are related. Also related is being a K-strategist in evolutionary terms.


Because women in feminist cultures hate intelligence and morality, I had no chance to get married in America. So I got married abroad. For most people it is a question of effort, not opportunity.

When I was a kid I remember having this dream of becoming an adult, owning a home, getting married, having kids, coming home from a meaningful career and being embraced by my family when I got home. When I became an adult I realized that finding someone who checked all the boxes for me would be quite difficult in this day and age. Although I am not a religious person, there used to be an appeal of marriage for me when I was child. However now that appeal doesn’t really exist much anymore, I see it as a piece of paper and in many cases chains. The goal should really be about getting a partner who’s right for you, who shares your values and hopefully has some similar interests. That way you have someone to enjoy life with or at least for that time. Also I think the more life experience people have the more they start to realize being in love is for poets.
