Some of it is tough to explain, and may be different for you, but here are a few:
1. The sex is better. Maybe there isn't a newness factor like when you were dating, but it is still great. You learn each other, your likes and dislikes, turn-ons and turn-offs. Being married solidifies your whole relationship, including this aspect.
2. It is a chance to share your life with that person. Dating, IMO, is training for marriage. When you share your life (i.e. your money, mind, soul and body), it is something that is very special. That might sound sappy, but it is true. Doing this will help you develop a deeper respect for each other.
3. Your car insurance goes down.
4. Your income tax refund is higher.
5. Your credit rating instantly goes up.
6. Like Oscar said, it gives you a reason and purpose to do what you do. Sooner or later, being single becomes very lonely and there just isn't anything left to do.
When you are married, you will always be able to see things that are wrong with your mate. You will argue, if you don't, there is something wrong with you or you both are repressing way too much crap and you both will blow up sooner or later. These things are normal. You have to just make that decision to stick it out and get through it.
There are a lot more reasons, but I surf the TFP at work and have limited time. Maybe someone could expound on this? Hope this helps dude.
