In his 1965 book “Marriage for Moderns”, Bowman A.H. lists a variety of reasons. Among those are:
Love
Economic security
Parents’ wishes
Escape from loneliness or a parental home situation
Money
Companionship
Sexual attraction
Protection
Notoriety
Social position and prestige
Gratitude
Pity
Spite
Adventure
Common interest
The above list means that individuals seek satisfaction in marriage not only for basic physical sexual needs but also for their basic psychological needs for:
a) Affection
b) Belonging
c) Independence
d) Achievement
e) Recognition
f) Self-esteem
People may also marry because of more comprehensive need for self-actualization which includes personal growth and personality development.
Marriage presents possibilities for increased understanding of the patterns themselves, of each other, of human beings in general, of life’s problems, and be enriching educational experiences that promote social, emotional and intellectual growth. Marriage, at its best, enables both partners to reach out to the community and to become more productive and effective citizens in work, recreation and community service.
