A person can see various positive characteristics to get married. These reasons facilitate intimacy in marriage and maximize the chances of success in marriage.

1. Companionship:

Sharing one’s life with someone is one common reason for marriage. Its a myth that marriage ends loneliness, it seldom does unless both partners feel good about themselves.

2. Love and Intimacy:

The need for love and intimacy is related to the need for companionship. It is difficult to maintain such intimacy in a long-term relationship and mostly couples report that passion decreases over the years.

3. Support and Growth:

Sharing and genuinely supporting each other for betterment and achievement is one good reason for marriage. Marriage provides an opportunity for the growth of one’s self and for nurturing the growth of one’s partner. Both partners mutually must be willing and able to give of themselves. A marriage can not survive if the partners think only of their own self, career, recognition and accomplishment.

4. Sexual Satisfaction:

Marriage is often seen as a stable source of sexual satisfaction for both partners. Sex should not be the only major reason for marrying.

5. Parenthood:

One of the traditional reason for marriage is to have children. A realistic approach to parenthood is a very sound motive for marriage.
