it's a symbol of your undying love for the person you are married to. but i think most women just do it for a new dress and a diamond.

Agreed...

But I also think it is a symbol of devotion and respect, a contract to share a life together and a sense of security.

Marriage was established to ensure survival of the bloodline in wealthy or noble families. To have the family name live on in posterity. It also ensured that the wealth stayed in the family, through the descendants.

If one was poor or had no noble lineage, there was no reason to get married.

However, some cultures, societies, family traditions/customs, and Judeo-Christian values promote it, expect it. Will tolerate or accept nothing but.

Others feel it validates or makes a visible, concrete "mark" signifying the commitment or depth of that love. It signifies belonging.

Mainly, I believe in marriage for the last reason I mentioned. However, societal/cultural/family/religious influences have played a large role in shaping my comfort zone, as well.

it's a symbol....

Exactly, a symbol or mark. Visibly, upon the body - and spiritually, upon the soul.

The bridal shower is a remnant of the dowry.

Unfortunately, these symbols and marks cannot guarantee that it will last forever. There are no guarantees. flowerforyou
