In most cultures throughout the world, there is an expectation that when a person
reaches adulthood, marriage should soon follow. In the United States __62__, each month
upwards of 168 000 couples wed, __63__ to love, honor, and respect their chosen life
mates __64__ death parts them. The expectation is deep-rooted.
__65__, the social functions, purposes, and relevance of marriage are rapidly
changing in __66__ society, making them less clear-cut than they have been __67__
history. For instance, in a Pew Research Center random polling of over 2 000 __68__ ,
fewer than half of all of the adults polled indicated that __69__ a man and a woman plan
to spend the __70__ of their lives together as a couple, it was important that they __71__
marry.
Those of us who choose to marry have __72__ reasons why we decide to marry the
person we do. There is a __73__, however, in our Western, individualistic culture: We
tend to marry for reasons that benefit ourselves, __74__ for reasons that benefit the
society __75__, such as found in collectivist cultures. Research in Western cultures has
found, for example, that the number-one __76__ people cite for marrying is to signify a
lifelong commitment __77__ someone they love. However, this reason is not the only
response to why people wed -
today, people get married for reasons of commitment,
security, and personal belief systems. The Pew Research Center's recent findings __78__
that the main reasons people get married are for __79__ happiness and commitment, and
bearing and raising children. As the data from this __80__ show us, there are racial, age,
and religious differences in what people __81__ to be the main purposes of getting
married.
