Why wouldn't people want to marry.. Nothing wrong with marriage itself. Most often problems arise from many other factors .. Not the commitment itself.
Many get married for a lot of different reasons, the main reason is love. Others can revolve around security and companionship. Marriage is a God created perfect Union involving imperfect people. So when we choose a mate we should consider it a serious matter. We should look for individuals who have our best interest in heart. You should share the same goals in life. Whether spiritual or material. We should work hard to listen. I got some advice that's really rung true: "Marriage is made up of two good forgivers".
For most of the same reasons they always have. Marriage is not for everyone, and not everyone can make it work, but for those of us who do, it's as good as it gets.
1) To participate in a ritual that exclaims to the world that these two souls have promised to be bound to each other for life.

3) Religion.
4) Politics.
5) Convenience.
6 to infinity) More reasons that I can not think up at the moment.
