7 Reasons Why Marriage is so Important
One question that people who are in a simple boyfriend-girlfriend relationship ask is that why do they need to get married.
They keep pondering over the question and importance of this sacred relationship because in their eyes, being committed and living together is the same as being married. They believe that the rings, stigma, vows, the involvement of the government, and harsh rules make marriage a business deal instead of an emotional connection.
Marriage is a very strong relationship and is a union that provides two individuals with a bond that they needed so much. Marriage is a commitment that completes your life, and you may not even know its significance until you get married.
Here are 7 reasons that explain the importance of marriage:
- Beginning
Marriage is the beginning—the beginning of the family—and is a life-long commitment. It also provides an opportunity to grow in selflessness as you serve your wife and children. Marriage is more than a physical union; it is also a spiritual and emotional union. This union mirrors the one between God and His Church.
- Oneness of being
Marriage is an act of combining two people; it is the merging of two souls as one and is a bond that has no competition in this world.
This sacred bond does not only blesses you with a life partner but also gives you another family member to rely on completely. Marriage turns your commitment into teamwork where both the partners are the ultimate player and work together in achieving their goals. The reason why it is important is that it gives you the ultimate team player, playing on your side all the time.
- Purity
Marriage is designed for purity. We face temptation nearly every minute and from all directions. The bond of marriage gives us the support to defeat temptation by engaging in deep, satisfying love—a love that gives to, and receives from, our mate physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

- Parenting
When a marriage produces a child or receives a child through adoption, it is one of life’s greatest blessings. Roughly 40% of children being raised today are in a home without a father. The effects of that fact are staggering. Father absence causes increases in mental and behavioral disorders as well as criminal activity and substance abuse. But when children are raised in a healthy marriage, they get a front-row seat to see and experience the lasting benefits of a strong family.
- Love
Marriage is designed to mirror our Creator’s unconditional love for us. It’s a love that will always be there and will never leave us or forsake us. When a man and woman love one another unconditionally, there will always be contentment and joy all the time.
- It benefits everyone
Marriage has many benefits for not only you but everyone around you too. It helps in social bonding and even assists economically towards the community.
Marriage also benefits the families of both partners and creates a brand new bond between the two.
- Life security
No matter how ill you get, you will always have someone to look after you. Marriage is a bond wherein you are sure that your partner will take care of you when you sick or when you need them, and you no longer have to worry or become distressed.
Having this security in life is essential because once you get sick, you tend to realize how alone you really are, but having come through this emotional time makes you realize the importance of this bond.
Marriage is a bond between two people for eternity through this life.
