There is no need to get married. Just find someone you hate and give them half a house. That’s all they want.

It’s not necessary. You can be in a relationship without marriage, there’s not a huge difference.

It’s not the marriage, but the concept that is important

And it depends on the person. In general, the concept of living with someone for whom you generally care about and enjoy sexual pleasures with is enough; it creates opportunity for drama/change, it is the opportunity to give and receive, to feel joy about many things with someone.

For others, they prefer to achieve such enlightenment on their own, with music, with religion, with booze, etc…

A fulfilled life is all about finding that one thing that makes you ‘high’. About giving yourself some happy moments and achieving an overall content life in the meanwhile. People do it in many different ways. Marriage is one that combines the social complex with a sexual and emotional one.

If you feel the need to get married then it would be important to you . But being married will not make an empty life any different . Inner peace and fulfillment are accomplished by you alone unless it involves your children .

Answer by Alan Turing
Well, it is important to protect the financial security of the children if a wayward father decides to leave. Marriage is a legal contract that establishes financial responsibilities for the father of the children.

Answer by Bill
Marriage, I think, is not considered as important these days, as it was in past decades. Marriage is an institution with a long history. Always there have been couples that have lived together without the marriage-approval of the church and/or society.
I think marriage, or a relationship of the romantic/sexual sort with another human being, can add to a person’s fulfillment.
But this varies a lot with the individual and circumstances, a lot.
Some marriages hinder fulfillment. Some people lead relatively fulfilling lives without marrying at all. Some marry many times. Obviously, most of those marriages were not satisfyingly fulfilling.

Fulfillment depends on the individual, and again there are a lot of variables.

Here’s something to consider: How necessary is marriage, meaning stable families headed by married couples, to a stable, healthy society?
If it is very necessary, we’re in trouble.
My own opinion is that marriage is in trouble, increasingly. And that people popping in and out of relationships is unhealthy, including providing a poorly nurturing environment for children. What kind of people will make up our nation in a few more years, having grown up with a parent or parents or live-in significant others, who are in and out and all over the grid?
Everyone seems to be doing her own hedonistic, self-centered thing, and the only bad word is “responsibility.” Do you think that will make a difference?

This is my usual argument for marriage and children:
It’s just what people do. It holds things together towards the end.
– Imagine you’re old. Your career is over. You have no family left, you can’t look after yourself anymore so you have to go live in a home. You’ve packed all your things into boxes, and they’re going into storage even though you have no one to give them to except friends who are nearing the end themselves. This great house that you bought and made yourself is being sold for your home fees.
At the home all you can do is sit around. It’s not like you can do all the stuff you enjoyed like sport and holidays to exotic places anyway. Other residents often flick through new photo albums of their grandchildren, get visits on weekends and get phone calls. You get no visits, no calls, no gifts on holidays and birthdays. No stories about first steps and school and braces. Nothing.
Sorry to get all deep on you, but that’s the only way to make my point.

Answer by Minski
it’s important if you want a marriage. It has no importance whatsoever if you don’t want one.

Answer by James C
Life companionship with another soul does not always need a piece of paper as proof

Answer by Julia S
It depends on how you perceive marriage. If you think you’ll be incomplete without marriage, then you should find a partner who values marriage and make the most of marriage.

If on the other hand, marriage is not important to you but just an inconvenience, then you shouldn’t feel pressured to do so. It may not be fair to your partner.
