    There are two practical reasons to get married: buying a house and having kids.

Oh, there are more reasons than that. Religious beliefs. Tax breaks. Insurance benefits. Stability of dual incomes. Stability of monogamy. Stability of increasing family support through in-laws. Societal perceptions. Love? Love's a good reason. Love's the best reason.
