We know that love and the dream of building a life together is enough, but if you are still turning around questions like "should we get married now? are we ready?", we let you10 reasons to get married.

    1. Start a new adventure

    2. Share with those you love the most

    Probably never again in life will there be a chance to bring both families together, with all your friends in one place, all enjoying and celebrating your love. It's a day where it's all about you and celebrating this new stage as a couple.

    3. They trust each other deeply.

    One of the most important aspects of a lasting and happy marriage are trust and respect They know that they will always be there for each other and support each other, no matter what comes next.

    If you have doubts that your partner may be unfaithful and you think getting married is the way to avoid it, stop! A legal or religious commitment is not going to end doubts or change a person.

    4. You have spent a lot of time together

    Los Enanitos Verdes sang "Adding time is not adding love." If you have already lived together and shared days and nights together, maybe it's time to make the decision to legally formalize. And maybe each of you has been with the certainty and proposal of "I want to marry you" for some time.

    It may not be the most romantic thing to see it that way, but there are also practical aspects of getting married and those are the legal ones. Marriage is a contract with which the State recognizes you as a couple in relation to different aspects, family and patrimonial, it even recognizes health, labor and social security rights.

    6. A life of complicity

    Knowing each other deeply, knowing what the other is thinking just by looking at them or being able to finish their sentences, having a common language and laughing about things that no one else understands but you; these are signs of a very connected, complicit and intimate couple.

    Life is full of changes and pressure moments (you'll find out when you're planning your marriage), and have someone who speaks the same language is key to face the different processes and be able to overcome them successfully.

    7. Common project

    Sharing a common project is not necessarily about working together or starting a venture that both of you are part of, but it is about have a life project and a vision of their futures that they can build as a team.

    8. They think they found their soul mate.

    They don't want to be away from each other for a single moment, they can't imagine life apart and they are deeply in love. Although falling in love is a stage of the relationship, it can be very long and what better than living infinitely in love and waking up every day next to the love of your life.

    9. Share your fears and concerns

    Everyone can go through stressful times in life, family relationships, work, finances, etc. To be married is to have someone by your side with whom you can share those difficulties, discuss them and find ways to solve them. It is, finally, to have an unconditional companion.
