For me it is,
Get married because I want to know I am what a woman wants. I want to be a good Father. I want to be a good Husband. I want to have children, and raise them well. I want to know I am the only thing a woman needs to have a good sex life. I want to because not many aspies do, and I want to show that an aspie can be just as successful as an NT. I want to love and be loved. I want to be able to talk to my wife about things only I can talk to her about. I want to make a woman feel safe when she is feeling alone. I want to be able to be what she needs me to be. I want to know that I did good in my time in this world. I want to make an example to my younger siblings, that they may know how. I want to be the one who walks my daughter down the isle, if I am so blessed to have one. I want to teach my son, if I ever have one, to stand up for those being bullied, and to make sure he treats ladies with respect, and does not take advantage of them. I want to have a family. I want to be able to give these things to my wife whether it be 15 children, or any variable in between. I want to feel adequate, and no more inadequate crud. I want to be an encouragement to other people. I want to be able to share my knowledge with someone who is willing to listen.
That is why I want to get married.
Apart from the use of the terms "wife" and "husband", I don't see what marriage has to do with any of what you talk about above?
Me, I do not wish to marry. I would love to spend the rest of my life with one special person, yes, but marry them...nup.
Wedding vows are a sacred oath, and solidify our commitment in stone. Being unmarried and having children is discriminated against in my religion. The people of Zeeland, MI shunned my mother because they thought my dad had never married her, and she was an unwed mother. My cousin, had babies before she got married, to a guy who was in Jail. Luckily the guy shaped up, and cleaned up his act. He is getting married to my cousin soon. Plus there are ways to get married without all the ceremony, all you do is live with your lady/man for a certain amount of time, then start considering yourselves a couple, like calling yourself mrs. so&so on mail and such, then apply for a certificate of marriage. It is like squatting on land, except for spouses.
