Look at it this way:
Marriage should not be a need...you dont need to get married so a man can support you. I cant marry a man like that.
It should be a want...you should want to marry this man because he makes you happy, you love him and envision your life with him.
yeah, so we'd like to think. But unfortunalty reality bites. We live in a world where for some reason becoming a spinister has historically been equivalent to reputations of ugliness, frumpiness, and depression, and so no wonder all of us dread not being married!! and in many ways, even Jennifer Ansiton was not able to escape it- heck I read somewhere (i think elle magazine) that she even admitted to being the poster child of lonely spinsiter getting on with her life. So no wonder that want to escape such a pitied fate combined with the strong natural want to make a family becomes so strong that it *becomes a need. *
But good news is most of us marry!! I mean I think I read somewhere that 98% of women do eventually marry.
