Men want to marry wives, women want to marry husbands, this is the basic requirement of human sociality. At the same time, rather than maintaining a close relationship but not getting married, marriage can bring benefits to both spouses that far exceed costs.
1. It can give both husband and wife a stable married life
Marriage and sex can be said to be closely coupled relationships. When people become adults, both men and women have sexual needs, which is human nature. Just as the so-called "which girl is not pregnant, which teenager is not in love" Young men and women need a legal release channel for exuberant hormones, and marriage is the best way.
Marriage can provide a stable and secure conjugal life for both spouses, which is protected by law and morally recognized. It is true that from ancient times to the present, there are other channels for obtaining sex besides marriage, but the security and social recognition are far less than marriage.
2. Marriage can improve the quality of life of an individual
Society needs a division of labour, and within the family. A family of two husband and wife can greatly improve the quality of life of an individual. The difference in physical strength between men and women makes both sides have their own good work, "male outside, female inside" is this truth. For example, in ancient times, men were cultivating the fields outside, women were weaving cloth at home, men in modern society were engaged in manual labor, and women were responsible for the internal affairs of the family.
The division of labor can improve the overall work efficiency of the family, thereby improving the quality of life of two people. Single men may eat takeout every meal, and after marriage, they can eat delicious meals made by their wives. Single women may have worries about sleeping at night and are much safer after marriage.
It is inevitable that everyone will get sick. While lying in bed with a fever, someone needs to take you to the hospital. Not to mention that in the future, when you are old, you can have a partner who supports each other, which is much happier than the widowed and the elderly.
3. Marriage can bring about a psychological destination
People are lonely, so they need to find a psychological destination. Family is the best choice for this destination.
People also need to love and be loved, and an intimate partner is the only way to meet this need.
Couples who love each other can greatly improve the happiness of both parties and make life full of meaning.
3. Marriage can increase the economic strength of the husband and wife
The combination of husband and wife brings economic benefits to the two people is 1+1>2. Marriage is not only a combination of the resources of two people, but also brings the resources of the original families of both husband and wife. Compared with single men and women who can only get their own family resources, after marriage, not only will they get double the resources, but also the support they will give will be much greater.
Marriage can give both men and women a lot of benefits, both physical and psychological needs, but also bring economic advantages. Because of this, marriage is not only an external social requirement, but also an internal need.
