Getting married or not is a highly individual decision in the face of changing social expectations. As people are opting for cohabitation and other alternatives to matrimony, questions are being raised if the institution of marriage has turned obsolete. Pros Of Marriage
- Universal: Forms of Marriage across nations and regions may differ, it is nevertheless a universal institution aimed at the regulation of the reproduction of families, society and children. It produces kinship obligation among men and helps in pooling of resources among men, women and their children.
- Greater Wealth Than Cohabiting Couples Or Singles: Apart from the general benefits arising from a dual income, a marriage has all benefits of a partnership. In addition, both the spouses inherit wealth from both ssdes of grandparents, which single parents especially single mothers are not entitled to, from the kin of the child’s father.
- Better Health Of Children: The children who live with married parents are in better health and have greater life expectancy than children living with a single parent.
- Children’s Relationship With Parents: It is seen that children belonging to an intact marriage have healthier relationships with their parents than children living with a single parent. They demand much less supervision.
Cons Of Marriage
- Effects on Health: Married men/women in the age group of 45 to 64 years are often overweight as compared to the unmarried men/women in the same age bracket.
- Lesser Freedom: After marriage, all decisions have to be taken jointly with the mutual agreement of both the partners. Many people tend to feel suffocated due to this lack of freedom and space.
- Increased Expenses and Responsibility: Marriage increases one’s responsibility and the expenses on the family. Married people begin saving at a pretty early age than single people who begin saving after their 40s. The living expenses take up a considerable part of the couple’s income. Careful financial planning is required to ensure that the expenses do not exceed the earnings at any point.
Couples looking to get married should weigh the Pros and Cons Of Marriage as compared to cohabitation where it is comparatively easy to separate. The benefits of Marriage, at the same time, are undeniable.
