| Topic: Why do women want to get married? | |

Marriage is a cultural thing that women are taught from day one is the sole purpose of their lives. I do agree that this has happened in the past generations. My generation seems to have rebelled against it a bit more than before. The taught male and female roles has taken a hit in recent years. They have taken a hit but they have not died. You are right. Some hang on to what they were taught. In some ways the roles are great and in others they hold us back from growing as humans. |

I didn't want to get married the first time. We had a 4 year old son and had bought a house and HE thought we should get married so to make him happy I did. I should have listened to my gut. So I for one will never get married again. I just never saw the need. If I love someone and they love me then the commitment is there and that is all I need.

I am not the marrying kind myself either. The piece of paper means nothing to me. And I don't have a religion so that is not needed for me there either.
I believe that people can completely care for one another with full love and commitment without the piece of paper. |

As long as you love me & i love you then that's all we need.. Wow this is interesting.. Sooooooooo only women push marriage? Out of all the offers I've recieved there is only one I told I wanted to marry him... I think you'll find that most women don't need, some don't want to get married unless they've never been there done that and a lot of men want to get married just as much as that number of women.. I also know some men that went out their way to get the women they wanted.. Most of them did it because they thought they was going to lose them.. (They cheated, she cheated or they was serving lifelong prison terms).. |

A woman wants to be claimed, generally speaking. She wants a man to claim her publicly. Letting everyone know that she is his, he wants her exclusively. A wedding validates her with his friends, family and friends. You can do things that help her feel the same thing by holding her hand in public or placing your arm around her in public. Walking street side when you are walking down the street. Etc... Stuff like that. I have read that when a man truly loves a woman he will proclaim, protect and provide. He will proclaim her as his to whoever will listen, he will protect her from anything he sees as a threat to her and he will want to provide for her. Reading the first part of these responnses, I was begining to get a bit worried. Really did want to ask serious question. To me, this seems to be most philosophical defination posted. Could be academic too. Thanks. Claimed? hmmmmmmm? Is this coming from an academic theory, or a pragmatic theory/concept? Is there an insecurity issue at stake if they are not married? |

Actually that is not far off, bedtimes stories tell all girls prince charming will come along and complete the other half to their soul. Also, religion, etc. etc. etc. Actually, women have had the same rights as men in this country not even a century. They are trying, but it takes a bit longer than that for everything women/girls are taught in life, then wake up to the reality, of falseness. Is it fair to women or men in this day and time no, was it a fair assessment a half a century or a bit more ago, I would say yes to an extent. Not every marriage is happily ever after and if they are they took a lot more work than the books said!!! |
