ABSTRACT
From the time we are children, the general expectation is that we will grow up to find someone with whom we want to spend our lives in marriage. Many of my friends who have gotten married cannot provide an explanation of why they decided to get married apart from that it just seemed like the next step in their relationship. But why would someone think about questions such as “why do you want to marry?” in our society? After all, marriage provides couples with many personal benefits, such as public recognition of their love and the fulfillment of childhood dreams.
