Weddings For The Financial Benefits Of Being Married

By: Ronald Thomson

Weddings are a common occurrence in any family. We have all been to the weddings of family members and even friends. There is nothing like the personal romantic weddings of the days of yore when people were making strong personal commitments to each other. Nowadays, unfortunately we are finding more and more that the marriage ceremony is becoming less romance related due to the fact that people are getting married for so many different reasons now without love and romance being the major reason.
A common reason why people can't help getting married today is for the financial benefits of being married. In a number of countries there are some additional benefits for the married ones particularly in the housing market. E.g., the fact of being able to buy a better or larger house based on two earnings makes repayments quite easier to get done. But buying a house together will never replace the true feeling of love and wishing to spend a life together building a real home. The house can never be a real home if that is missing.
Some health care and pension providers will offer benefits that are payable to spouses and which are not payed to couples which live together. If you get married to allow your spouse to get access to your medical benefits is not a bad reason altogheter to get married, however romance and love really need to be present as well of course.
I have even come across young student couples who have decided to marry so they get assessed as being independent from their parents and thus ensure the parents do not have to contribute to college fees etc. (In some cases parents are unwilling to contribute even though the state assesses them as being able to and reduces any student grants accordingly.) Marriage is then either brought forward too soon or rushed into without sufficient thought or regard to its life long relationship meaning.
When it all falls down, however, the romance is not always totally lost. Many couples are able to still ensure that they have a flame lit during their marriage ceremony that ensures the sparks will forever be enflamed in their relationship. It is the couples that have worked at building these romantic relationships before and after the marriage that are able to rekindle their flame when times get rough in their relationship.
By ensuring that you are getting married for the right reasons you will ensure that you are going to take the steps necessary to encourage a healthy relationship that will last through the test of time. Getting married should never be just a business proposition and it should not be treated as such.

Romantic weddings resulting from strong personal commitment to each other are becoming scarcer as more and more people marry for reasons other than romance. Married couples enjoy some financial benefits such as better affordability for housing. Some pension and healthcare schemes offer special benefits that are payable to spouse. Students rush into marriage to show they are not dependent on parents and their contributions to college fees.
