5 Reasons Marriage Is Important

The importance of marriage cannot be overemphasized because of the strategic role it plays in putting society in its right position. It is the foundation of families, religious institutions, governance, the military and other pillars upon which societal hope is anchored.

Marriage is the bases on which the plan of God for humankind finds fulfillment. When God said to man “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it…” (Gen.1:28), he knew that the only way to bring this command to pass was for man to be married.

There are several reasons why marriage is important; some of which include:

1. Responsibility: Man is saddled with a lot of responsibilities which can only be expressed when he becomes married. Some of the responsibilities God gave to man include love for his wife, marital consummation, child upbringing, care of the family, collective fellowship with his family, etc. And for the woman, God expects her to cooperate with her husband to carry out their marital responsibilities, as well as be submissive to him. More so, no man or woman would be taken serious in societal if he/she refuses to marry; because society views such persons as people who shy away from responsibility.

2. Honour: Marriage is honourable; when you are married, you are respected by people. Men would treat a woman with some respect and minimize the rate at which they sexually harass her when they are aware she is married. The reverse is the case for a single lady who everybody sees as freely available for all. The moment you put on your wedding ring, you are held in high esteem; the single girls look elsewhere for a suitor and the bachelors also become aware you are no longer available to be courted (if you are a woman).

3. Health: Marriage reduces your health risk. When you are married and you are faithful to your spouse, the tendency to be exposed to sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis, gonorrhoea, HIV, Herpes, warts, etc is highly reduced. Reduced exposure to diseases guarantees your longevity.

4. Procreation: Marriage is the platform on which one is permitted to procreate for the purpose of keeping the human organism in existence. God does not permit man to have children outside of wedlock; he expects the human race to be preserved through the institution of marriage.

5. Support: It provides support needed for one to succeed. One of the reasons one should be married is for one to have a partner that provides the help, emotional/psychological support, encouragement, love and care that would help one to succeed in life. It is easier for one to succeed when the opposite sex is there to lend these encouraging supports than when alone. No wonder the saying that two good heads are better than one.

If you have never seen reasons to be married before, you should now consider getting a husband/wife so as to enjoy the above-listed benefits. Marriage enables you get the best out of life and enjoy the respect of other people. It makes you a better matured person who is able to take responsibilities.
