Since I started using Laravel I'm happilly married and my boss doesn't laugh at me anymore at the office.

In my own experience, prior to using Laravel, I was building out a website using pure HTML/CSS/JS/PHP. No framework. No nothing. Then I started running into problems which I could not easily solve. I needed to write pagination (which I implemented myself), but was a pain to do. I needed to secure my website (such as parameterization), which was easy enough, but difficult when I first learned of it.

All in all, I knew that I needed a framework. I could go with a JS framework, and move away from PHP, but I knew I did not want to do that. I love PHP, and wanted to continue to work with it.

That is where Laravel came in. I was looking for PHP frameworks, and was debating betweeen two. Symfony and Laravel. Since Laravel is newer, and based on Symfony anyway, it is what I decided to go with.

I couldn't be happier. Laravel has a terrific community and amazing support.

TL;DR: You can use Laravel to "abstract" away a lot of the annoying parts of building websites (and APIs [although I don't use it for that]), such as pagination, CSRF, and more!

Let me know if you have any other questions!
