The decision to get married should result from a real love relationship. One should consider the reasons why they want to get into marriage before actually tieing the knot. Here are some of the reasons that should not push you to get married.1. PressureParents, in-laws, friends and even co-workers will always pressure you to get married. It is important to note that getting married should be a choice you make, not a choice imposed on you by others. Shrug off the pressure from all these people until you are ready to get married.2. Fear of being aloneMost people end up getting married because of the fear of being alone if they turn down the person they are dating. Usually, fear will arise due to being alone and being unable to attract someone new. However, it is important to note that sticking with the wrong person won’t do you any good. Face these fears and embrace the lonely life as you never know what life will bring forth tomorrow.3. The kidsSome people get into marriage simply because they badly want to have kids. Others tie the knot when they get pregnant without really considering whether their partner is the right person to spend their life with. Getting married for the sake of your kids can be a recipe for disaster, especially if you end up with someone who is not right for you.4. Feeling left outIf all your peers are married, this should not bother you as marriage is an individual choice. Keep waiting for your Mr or Mrs right. Don’t ever jump into things for the sake of being like your peers.5. The invitations have already gone out!People cancel wedding plans even on the eve of the wedding. Cancelling a wedding for the right reasons should never be something you should fear doing. Ignore the public humiliation and embarrassment and do what is right, other than getting married and end up regretting the rest of your life.
