What do you think of this question? "What is the best reason for getting married?"

I think the very best reason is because you love another and are yourself beloved; in other words, because of mutual love.

You may want a home, like other people, you may want children, because you love them, you may want companionship, you may want to be taken care of by someone who regards your happiness as the greatest joy of life. You may have many selfish reasons for being married; but a great unselfish love of another, which is returned by an unselfish soul adapted to you in every way, will bring you happiness.
