I want to get married because of my beliefs, to put it simply. There was a period in my life where I questioned my beliefs, did a lot of introspection, and praying. I have gained a very strong conviction that God wants me to find a righteous woman to marry. In my religion, we marry not just for this lifetime, but for eternity. Families are central to our purpuse in life, and will continue after mortality. I am looking for someone who is as concerned as I am with self development, so we can help each other every day.
If it weren't for my beliefs, I would probably marry for my children. I would want them to see that commitment is important in life. When things become difficult, it's better to work through them than say 'well, we don't really owe each other anything. It's been nice'.
Really, there are a lot of reasons why I want to marry, but the strongest one is from my beliefs. Without my beliefs, I would see no purpose in life, and I don't think I would ever be very happy...
