I got married because I fell in love with this woman. I had a baby with her because we wanted to have children. But that's not because of some philosophical ideal at all, no.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I got married because it was the right time and the right thing to do.
I think getting married gave me a focus. It gave me a focus and direction I want to have in my life. And I think having another person that you make such a purposeful bond with has given me the opportunity to see how that can be with all the other aspects of my life.
I got married because I wanted to do something that was more than I understood, because my feelings were more than I understood.
I'm married to the person I fell in love with.
I fell in love for the right reason. I fell in love unconditionally.
I went through my whole life wanting to feel I belonged. I was very, very lonely, so I would marry people that I wasn't really in love with, and who weren't right for me, because I hoped they would be.
I like being married, but it was never something I felt I had to do.
Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to get married. I think because of the way I was brought up and seeing my parents in love.
Getting married, for me, was the best thing I ever did. I was suddenly beset with an immense sense of release, that we have something more important than our separate selves, and that is the marriage. There's immense happiness that can come from working towards that.
I didn't marry to have children. I married to have a relationship, and I was blessed with one child. I was an only child, too - my mother was smarter than most women today; she just had me.
