They get recognition of their love. They love the same as anyone else. Plus, not everyone gets married in a church. I didn't...I got married in a registar office.

In addition to which marriage brings a lot of 'rights' in the eyes of the law. It brings the right to inherit the property you shared together, it brings the right to be considered family if your partner is in the hospital. It gives you the power to the the person the people in the hospital have to clear all their decissions with where ass otherwise you have no say at all. Those are just a few reasons.

I don't know if you are married but there is a lot more to it than god and kids. I had neither and had a great marriage.
