Physical attraction, compatibility, loneliness, Family influence, Cultural aspects, Personality and personal interests might be some of the causes that influence the choice we might make in selecting a Marriage Mate, I'm sure there are others. It was predetermined by God what choice we will ultimately make in any given situation, but since we don't know the end from the beginning of any matter, like God does, we still have to make a choice. Even choosing to do nothing is still a choice.
Yes there is others and even betters.
What about, -because these world at these time of history might be too dark and dangerous to stay by our selfs, -Because two can help each other mutually, -For companionship and spiritual connection (if you have been blessed enough to find real spiritual conection),, These sounds like very good reasons.
And then I was wondering, with what else as this good, these could be compared with? Probably a bouch of companionship and spirituals conections and a bounch of mutual encourage, Was these not what Paul had with the people he used t write with? And It is kind of what these forum is about, but then still, I guess we need have a balance between online communication and off-line communication.
I sometimes wonder about the first communities trying to follow Jesus teachings while living toguether at one specific location, there was people there who was married and on many others different stages of their life. What a good eviroment for faster spiritual grow and inspiration between the members. I am sure they used to sing and play instruments often. I remember somewhere where it says; the ones who are married as if they where not. They where all eating often toguether while making comments and memories regarding their very same Creator or simply having fun in the table.
