Lois Griffin, the matriarch of the Griffin family in the animated sitcom Family Guy, married Peter Griffin for a number of reasons, some more sensible than others.
- Love: While their relationship is often tumultuous and Peter's antics frequently drive Lois to the brink of insanity, it is clear that they do love each other. Lois often expresses her love for Peter, even if it's usually in a frustrated or exasperated tone.
- Family: Lois is a deeply traditional woman who values family above all else. She saw marriage to Peter as a way to create a traditional family unit, something she deeply craved.
- Stability: Lois, despite her occasional bouts of frustration with Peter's behavior, likely saw him as a source of stability and a reliable partner. He is, after all, the breadwinner of the family and provides for them, even if he sometimes does it in unconventional ways.
- Escape from Her Family: Lois's own family can be quite dysfunctional, and she may have seen marriage to Peter as a way to escape from that environment and create her own family.
While the exact reasons for their marriage are never explicitly stated, these are some of the most likely factors that led Lois to say "I do" to Peter.
