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.

If you made divorce as eaasy and as equal in ever society you'd see similar numbers across the world. So the real question is why do people get married? Because the bond is stronger!
Just in America, you can't pretend to be a certain way until marriage then a monster after it. SO it offers a bit more confidence that if things or people change so can the relationship.
