There are various reasons why women would like to tie the knot. But how come men are so anxious to get married?
The reasons why many choose to say "I do" is revealed. Most people believe that a majority of men are scared of commitment and only fully commit or get married due to the fact that their partners pushed them into the situation. Truth is - it really isn't like what most people believe.
According to the latest Lovegeist report by Match.com - which is the biggest independent study of the United Kingdom's outlook when it comes to relationships - 88% of men are wanting to tie the knot in the near future. That is a high percentage which actually beat the women. Only 85% of women said they wanted to tie the knot.
So, what motivations are the biggest for men when they pop the question?
Their bloodline becomes stronger
While it is no longer necessary to be married to start a family, a good amount of men would rather start their own family in an environment that is stable as possible. In spite of the skyrocketing divorce rates, the traditional family setting with the married parents raising their children in a stable environment is more fitting. Just like women, men also acknowledge and value this.
It is an investment
A good portion of men will agree that it is worth sacrificing some of their years being single in exchange for a longstanding investment in a single person who they can form and share a potential long lasting relationship.
Having someone to be there with them when they grow old
Actually, single men have a higher mortality rate (250% higher) than men that are married. It is not certain whether or not the lower mortality rate of married men is due to the good care that they receive from their families or simply their level of happiness generally, but the thought of not having to be alone when growing old is one factor that is persuasive enough to have men really considering marriage.
Stability
Being in the presence of someone who is supporting, caring, and dependable is a good feeling and a strong draw for marriage. A home that is stable gives a man a chance to use more of his energy on different areas of his life that he holds very dear to him like work. This plays a major role in him feeling validated as a human being.
Emotional security
The Lovegeist report states that less than 2% of men lean on marriage as a route to financial security which shows that women and men alike value emotional security more than financial security. A shared checking account does not compare in value to a sharable experience.
Happiness
Having someone along your side through the ups and downs that life dishes out is a major factor for men choosing to get married. A study conducted by an Australian university which included Britain, Germany, and Australia revealed that men are much happier being married as opposed to being single. Those findings must have something to do with the fact that married men have someone to share their emotions and troublesome times with.
