What Men Love About Marriage

Dr. Judith Coche, a professor of psychology at the Pennsylvania School of Medicine, says that men—much like many women—often marry for the pleasures and security of a committed relationship. 

Guys in many ways are creatures of habit.  Although they rarely admit it, they crave security and routine.  That’s what marriage provides: something they can count on and be comfortable in.

Coche says, “when all is said and done, men do not marry so much for pizzazz or sexual adventure, but rather for solidity of personal involvement and companionship.”  She adds, “In my experience, both genders marry because partnering is a wonderful way to go through life.”

Here are a few more insights into what men love about married life:

Some find it very comforting to come home to a best friend everyday.  “It’s just like being a kid—you always hang out with your best friend, but there’s the added plus that your wife’s a woman that you go to bed with every night.”

Some find marriage incredibly educational.  A lot of guys seem to muddle through life, but some women seem to have a clearer direction.  Some men appreciate that fact that the wife has a definite grasp on how things should be done and how to keep things running smoothly.  They find themselves being a better person being with their wife.

When you’re married you get all the pleasures of sex without the potential drawbacks.  You and your partner can relax and really learn how to make each other feel good.  There’s an incredible freedom in that which simply doesn’t exist in the world of one-night stands.
