10 Reasons Men Still Get Married

Married men are the butt of all jokes these days. Whenever a couple of guys get together, they talk about how much happier they were before they got married. Every time a guy proposes to his girlfriend, his friends treat it like the end of the world. If marriage is such a terrible thing for the male species, why then men even get married. There must be some reasons that men marry women even in this day and age.
