Why do we have to get married

Marriage is not a necessary choice in life, and whether to get married should be decided based on personal wishes and actual needs. Marriage may bring benefits such as emotional support, legal protection, and social identity, but there are also potential issues such as limited personal freedom, economic pressure, and relationship conflicts.

1. Emotional Needs

Marriage can provide stable emotional connections for some people, meeting their needs for a sense of belonging and intimate relationships. Long term partnerships can help alleviate feelings of loneliness, and experiencing life events together can deepen emotional bonds. But deep friendships, family relationships, or pet companionship can also satisfy emotional needs, not just through marriage. 2. Legal Rights and Interests: Marriage grants spouses legal rights such as medical decision-making, property inheritance, and tax incentives. These rights are attractive to those who value legal protection, but some rights can also be realized through legal means such as wills and guardianship. Modern society has provided alternative solutions beyond marriage.

3. Social Pressure

Traditional culture regards marriage as a necessary stage in life, and expectations from family and society may create intangible pressure. This pressure may lead to blindly entering into marriage, but more and more people realize that lifestyles such as being single and cohabiting are also worthy of respect, and social attitudes are gradually diversifying.

4. Fertility considerations

Marriage is often seen as an ideal environment for having children, providing relatively stable growth conditions. But single parent families, same-sex couples raising children, and out of wedlock childbirth can also raise healthy children, and the key depends on the caregiver's sense of responsibility and resource investment, rather than the marriage form itself.

5. Personal Development

Marriage requires a significant investment of time and energy in management, which may affect career development or interests. People who choose not to get married often focus more on self actualization, obtaining satisfaction through career achievements, learning and growth, or travel exploration. A high-quality solitary life can also create a fulfilling life. Regardless of whether one chooses to get married or not, the key is to make a clear decision based on one's own values. Marriage is just one of many ways of life, and modern society has provided more possibilities. It is recommended to clarify real needs through deep self exploration, without being forced to make hasty decisions under external pressure. Maintain an open mind, regularly review your life status, and choose the most suitable mode of interaction for the current stage of life. Healthy interpersonal relationships are more important than marriage, and cultivating independent personality and communication skills is the foundation of happiness.
