People marry for myriad and divergent reasons.
A study of why people get married would reveal that over a hundred and one reasons may have resulted into the marriages that the world is grappling with today.
The reason or reasons for which one gets married has such dare consequences on the marriage relationship that it is important that we know the reasons we are getting involved in marriage or why we should marry in the first place.
There are right and wrong reasons for getting married.
The right reasons for getting married are basically two namely: • Companionship, and • Procreation Marriage resulting from any reasons or reasons outside these two is already on a faulty foundation.

• Companionship - Some of the synonyms of companionship are friendship, company, camaraderie.
In the holy writ, the Creator expressed the need to create Eve as an help meet for Adam when he said it is not good for man to be alone.

The Bible book of Ecclesiastes has this to say of companionship - Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.
For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falls; for he hath not another to help him up.

Other people with whom we are associated such as same gender friends, parents, brothers, sisters, children and business associates have terminal dates when they must leave us.
There is only one of our relations who would not leave us unless on the point of death or separation.
