E'.ampl.
Why do you think people marry?
A..nswe,.
d'l eople naturally dislike being alone. They also have
~~ curiosity about people of the opposite sex. Marriages
arranged between families are still common. However. these
days. people get married for many reasons. Some marry
simply because family members and friends are getting
married. while others live together to save money.
However, gold-diggers' marry for their partners money.
Many people slill marry because they want children. But the
majority of people marry
because they are in love
and want to stay with
each other all Ihe
"
lime.
