Some people marry for money, some people marry for love. Some people marry to get away from home, some people marry to avoid getting old alone.
What do you believe to be the best reason to marry?

Marry for love because that way you are sure of your feelings for each other. The other reasons are just excuses because if you are unhappy at home, then just leave. To marry so you won't be alone in old age isn't a really good reason because you can still be lonely even though you are married. Married for money is not good either because it won't give you love, comfort and companionship.
If you marry for love then everything else falls into place and you don't need a lot of money to be happy. :)

For me, I got married for love. I dont like to be alone so I guess getting married to avoid getting old alone fit me too.

Definately for love. I have had to many friends and they had kids before they were married and felt like they needed to get married because of the child and they are now divorced. If you don't marry for love the marriage will not be a happy one or will more than likely end up in divorce

there is no better reason than love. Love is essential if you want a realtionship to strive.

The reason most people marry is because of love. Marrying means a lifetime commitment so it maybe for security or going away or other reasons. You should also consider that you are marrying someone because of love because marriage between two people loving each other is bind by God.

love, most definitely. if you marry for any other reason, then you'd probably won't be happy and contended for the rest of your life.

Marry for love and have children who are going to take care of us beside my life partner.So we will not be alone and helpless when we grow old.

Love is a good reason to marry, but compatible love is the best.

in dis world every one wants love and to be loved.there are somany ways for getting love like from friends,parents and relatives.but u know no one will help us in our old age.at that time we will be alone.but if we hav a life partner ofcourse we wont be alone.
marriage means two persons enter into one soul and two bodies.
so the best reason to marry is for getting love
