Why People Choose to Marry

Section 1. External factors in choosing to marry

Some people marry due to various external factors. These external factors were enticing to their eyes and they could not resist the temptation, so they marry.

When some people consider whom to choose as a companion, they look for people based on their physical appearance. Similarly, those who operate based upon a class system may only choose persons from their class.

It is interesting to see how peer group pressure can cause some individuals to consider marriage, even when they were not initially thinking of it. Within some groups, most members are married, and those who want to associate with them may perceive that they must be married to fit in with the group. Some groups have their own written and unwritten cultures, and individuals will choose whether they want to become members of those groups. Often, when people want to fit into a group, they must adjust their culture to match that of the group.

In some cultures, family members often remind those who are not married that they should consider marriage. While some single people may not be considering marriage, they may eventually allow family pressure to cause them to seek a companion and then marry.

Family abuse is never an acceptable practice. However, in some families, if there is regular family abuse, then the victim may choose to marry because they want to move away from that abusive atmosphere. Those who perpetrate family abuse must stop such actions right now, as they may cause many family members to exit their families prematurely.

Those who live in poverty will be happy for the opportunity to enjoy some wealth. Therefore, those who can quickly find a wealthy person may seek every opportunity to marry in order to enjoy a financially secure relationship. Poverty drives people away and may cause them to make some decisions that they might not have ordinarily wanted to make.

Some people view marriage as a means of securing their emotional well-being. The chosen partner may deter many onlookers. When a person is single, others may perceive them as vulnerable, but as soon as they get married, they are often given more respect. Marriage does wonders for some people’s self-esteem and their need to feel secure.

Section 2. Internal factors in choosing to marry

The internal factors that cause some people to marry are strange. Nevertheless, each person must know what they need internally for their marriage. There is no formula for those who want to get married. Each person must choose why they want to marry, and if they are reasonably satisfied with their decision, then they can proceed.

There are those who enter into marriage because of sex or wanting to have children. As couples age, they may not have the same desire for sex compared to when they were younger. Those who plan to enjoy a healthy sensual life must take good care of their bodies. They must be willing to consume healthy food and also exercise. Exercising must not be solely for the sake of looking muscular, but also to keep the body fit.

People enter into relationships because they want ways to relieve their emotions. In their relationship, they may experience times of laughter, which can help them overcome their struggles. Communication is important for both single and married people. Some people choose to marry because they need someone to communicate with regularly and someone with whom they can share some deep personal issues.

The history of some families is negative. Therefore, to change those negative histories, marriage may be a way for a person to move away from their family. When some people are living in depressed communities, they may choose to marry because they want to move away from those communities.
