Primary purpose for marriage

[kingstep]

The primary purpose for marriage is for man not to be alone so that he cannot have an helpmate, otherwise we called soulmate, marriage is a learning institution in which all of us have to go through and discover more about ourselves in marriage than when we are single, also an it's an advanced stage of a man that shows how responsible he is and determined to embrace another person's responsibility along his own.

No, the purpose of marriage is to have offspring, if only to have a companion, anyone can be a companion in your life.
Other words are matching how you look for the opposite sex that is suitable for you in the long run, the rest is just about how humans can develop and have offspring, sometimes many people are lulled by romantic sentences or definitions that are forced to make sense.

The kind of companionship that marriage brings is different from what's the case with having a friend of same gender of different gender as an ally or someone that's close to you.

The purpose of marriage is for procreation, it's for companionship and also for the sake of respect in the society. When you're married, it might not solve most of your emotional needs but it goes a long way to solve problems you can't handle by yourself. If you can chase a thousand by yourself, when you're married, it's easier to chase ten thousand.

I share the same thought process with you on this one. If marriage were to be done only for the sake of having a companion then any other person can be made your companion such as friends, family members or even your parents or siblings depending on how very close you are to them but I think the main purpose of marriage is to procreate and work hand in hand with your partner to develop the growth of the child and children in the case of having more than one and it is the main purpose of marriage. In the development process of the child, it is not the duty of one person alone as the worm may become much for the person, jiggling with other responsibilities of life so what the father cannot do alone, with the combined effort of both the husband and the wife they are able to train the child to become a better version of what they want and it is necessary for the betterment of the society.

Procreation of course, but the other part of the meaning is that everyone has their own point of view in assessing the purpose of marriage, not least for business purposes or other things that are intended by someone.
Are you married? Considering that the standard of marriage is now quite strange among young people, there is too much standardization that even their generation has difficulty reaching that standard.

That is completely correct,  the perspective you see marriage maybe different from the way I see it but the centre of attraction is almost the same which i believe is for reproduction and companionship.  To me I think this two open reasons are the main reasons one may think of getting married but among all I should be open to say it is mostly for child bearing. I believe children is the joy of every marriage,  not that a union without children may not stand but such union cannot be compared to the one with children.

Yes, the first aim of marriage is to bear kids and also raise them to mature, but it doesn't stop there love, caring, understanding, trust etc are also included, because without them even to bear the kids will be of difficult task, because they will not have time for that mutual connection that will made them come together as one to bear children.

Marriage is a long life time, is not what should be taken for granted, it should be something of high priority. Marriage has so many purposes it all depends on how the two couples wants it to be, but bearing a child is paramount because with time the children, they also have a role to play in the life of their parents when they grow up and also the society will need them too in future time.

[hafiztalha]

At times I ask myself if child bearing is the primary aim of marriage.  if it is, then what will happen to those marriage without children but I still can not find the answers till date.
From my own point of view i see marriage as a union between two mature people for companionship, every other things attached and also for reproduction if one is favour by God. Children are blessings from god and is not supposed to be The reason behind failed marriages if not favoured by god  but some believe every marriage must have fruit of the womb which is not supposed to be so.

Marriage is a commitment between two people having mutual respect, love and sharing responsibilities with each other. It is viewed differently among people because of their own personal belief, culture and their society. Having kids is a part of marriage but that is not only purpose of getting married.

Childrens are the blessing from the God and they should be treated as a blessing rather than necessity there are people who are married but they don't have kids, that doesn't make their marriage less successful or make them less happy. There are factors like mutual respect stability these are the basic and the foundation of a happy married life and they should be valued and kept in mind despite or beyond having kids for a successful marriage.

Primary purpose for marriage

Repopulate the earth after the nukes get done flying.

Yes, the masses in the city will die but prepared communities that can hide for at least 72 hours and store enough propane (which does not go bad) to run efficient vertical grow ops until the sun returns in 2-3 years will survive.   The Canadian government lets every citizen over 18 practice with up to four plants!    

Repopulation of the earth will be controlled for genetic diversity and resource scarcity.   Women will be expected to have children with as many different men as possible when needed.   The religious garbage of marriage will be replaced with a hybrid form of partnership after a man or woman has passed possible breeding age and settles into a life with one person.   As it was in the beginning, so shall it be again —a tribal celebration.

Marriage is a sweet thing when one marries the right person, there are some people that are married today for the sake of production, as some homes are not living in peace because their wife failed to reproduce. Though you are right, marriage should not be less successful or unhappy if there is no children in their midst and also, in some marriages, if the wife is making earning whether more than the husband or not, they don't have respect for their spouses, likewise the men too. Meanwhile love and respect should be the main reason why they are married, as they have become of one flesh to help and protect each other.

Treating child bearing as a blessing in marriage and not a  necessity is just from your own point of view,  as for mine its a necessity that can never ne neglected,  after all that is the only reason I think marriage is made for because women are too wicked and don't deserve to be with a man because of love.
Many man that loved and trusted their union because of love are now in the grave regretting their actions and wished if they had second chance to rewrite their wrongs, so any man willing to live long should consider marriage a reproduction exercise and not a union built for love and companionship.

but that's still just your personal view.

calling women wicked over a few bad personal experiences is on you, you can't turn that into some standard and paint every other woman with the same brush as yours.
the world's way more nuanced than what you've seen and thought about. so don't take what you've seen and experienced and turn it into some rule for every marriage out there.

and have you ever actually looked at the data on infidelity or domestic abuse? i bet you would be pretty surprised, fr.

Excluding my personal experience,  over 60 percent of failed marriages all over the world ends not because of the incompetent performance of the man in the picture but because of the deceitful behavioural lifestyles of women that came in not for love but for what they stand to gain in the union and will continue in such footsteps if we don't work on the perspective we see marriage. Many men lost all they had  just because they loved and trusted their partners without knowing women can change at any point in time.
I won't disagree with you of you think there are good women over there but just pray you don't fall into their well established traps some day because if it happens,  you will regret same way i do.

Meanwhile love and respect should be the main reason why they are married, as they have become of one flesh to help and protect each other.

It is very important to see marriage as a relationship of mutual love, respect and cooperation, not just as a means of having children. Even if no one has children, a couple can build a beautiful family by providing each other with mental peace, security and being there for each other during difficult times in life. If in a family, if the wife earns more or the husband earns more, it can create a lot of distance in the relationship.
For example, if the wife earns more than the husband, but the husband respects her and shares other responsibilities in the family, then the income difference should not be a problem for the relationship. On the other hand, if the husband earns more, the wife's housework, taking care of the children or emotional support should not be underestimated, because they have real value. To me, a successful couple is one who stays together in happiness as well as illness, financial stress or difficult situations. Mutual respect, trust, responsibility and the mentality of protecting each other play a more important role in making a family long-lasting and peaceful than children or social status. When two people cooperate with each other rather than compete and move life forward, their relationship becomes much stronger and more meaningful.

Some people have bad experience with either a man or a woman, if the bad experience they had is from a man they will generalize every man as bad and evil, and if the experience is from a woman, they would generalize every woman has been bad and evil and this is very bad however, we are not going to blame them because they don’t know better.

I have been in a relationship with a woman that treated me badly and I have also been in a relationship with a woman that treated me very good, so for someone like me I cannot call any woman evil or bad because I know that all women are not the same. I have experienced it before.

If you talk about procrastinating offsprings as the primary purpose of marriage, and disregard the place of companionship , as wellas the rules, aspects, and expectations of marriage, you are still far from the truth and the reality of things, because one can have a contract marriage or even give birth without having to marry the one you have the baby with and also you can give birth, and your child decides to have their own family tomorrow, then leaving you to cope with life alone; that is where companionship comes in.

The differences in money or income level in a relationship can be seen as dangerous or a real problem the moment that it becomes the measure of who deserves more respect in that relationship. It’s very possible for a couple to earn very differently and still enjoy a healthy relationship if they both understand that their contribution to the relationship goes beyond just salaries or financial capacity. But the moment everything suddenly becomes a competition, even the things that’s meant to unite the couple together could actually turn around to become a source of resentment.

Very correct, because having the thought that marriage is about procreation means that one has decided to be alone for the rest of their lives. Some people make decisions without weighing all the factors, so they don't later regret their decision or feel disappointed. Their main concern should be to find the right partner who can be their companion for the rest of their lives, in both good and bad times, because that is what makes the marriage a complete one.

This idea of finding the right partner is where the problem in marriage is, women I know appears to be one of the most tricky set of beings on earth that can never be understood at all time. A woman may be loyal and submissive for years when she has a hidden agenda you can't notice in her character until its time to unlish that devil in them.

But marriage is sweet and enjoyable when one is with the right person because everyday will always be a sweet day as you know in all situations you have a partner that will stand by you to say go am with you. If this kind of partner is seen , then alone can I believe marriage is not centred on reproduction alone
