When I got to college, every future plan I heard always included matrimony. With America topping lists of infidelity and divorce, I used to wonder why everyone was so determined to get married. Where they influenced by culture or their religion? Was their marriage or bust mentality due to socioeconomic factors? Or do this people believe in the age old adages of love and soulmates?

I am an Igbo American women. While growing up in Nigeria and America, I was taught that marriage is a vehicle that delivered love, financial security, and companionship. I want to know what Americans think about matriomony. My people, please tell me why you got married.
