Marriage is school for two person where you never graduate from. Admission into the great institue should not include any of the list below PLEASE.

1. Good food. – Sorry, you don’t need a wife to eat good food. House-help or fast food can help.

2. sex – This is part of reason for marriage but should not be the only reason.

3. Solution partner – It is true that you need someone you can pour your heart to at all time. But you need to know that the other person also needs your care. If all you want is only yourself to be heard without considering the other person, then what you need is a counsellor, not a husband or wife.

4. Beauty – Never marry because someone is beautiful or handsome! Beauty fades. Simplicity is the key, however you must be attracted to the person.

5. Money – You may have financial need but marrying someone just because he/she is rich won’t sustain the marriage

6. Pressure -
“I am getting old”, “My friends are all married”, “My family are complaining” – These and many more are the excuses some people marry!. But remember that you are the one that will live with that spouse and not your parents or friends.

7. Spirituality – “He speaks in tongues”, “He attend church regularly!”, we know them by their fruits and not by their being religious.

8. Conversion – I will change him/her after marriage. 99% chances are that he/she will not change after marriage if they didn’t change before marriage.

9. Fantasy – Some just get married because others are married and they don’t want to be left out.

10. Low Self Esteem – Some people feel they would not get someone to marry them, else they quickly rush in with anyone that comes their way, not knowing them to an extent.

Ok. So, what are not the 'wrong reasons'?

Sorry ...but some of these are good reasons as well.

Think about it...and be realistic

GOOD WRITE-UP

To have a BOXING BAG...hw abt dat.

Funny writeup.... Until I see the 'Right Reasons'.... I COMMENT my RESERVE

kokoye: Sorry ...but some of these are good reasons as well.

Smh.

.........just ur personal opinion not the fact.

Nice post but still needs more. Some ladies are quiet b4 marriage but tiger after they are in. It is better to remain single than to marry someone that will destroy ur love life

I don't care what y'all think, but I'm getting married for 2, 5, 6 and 9 . If I don't take care of myself, who will?

This is a long and erroneous list. The true reason why men marry is Food, S*ex and offsprings, the only importance of women.

*Pressure....hmmm

50calibre: This is a long and erroneous list. The true reason why men marry is Food, S*ex and offsprings, the only importance of women.

The only importance of women to cave men like you? Right?
No educated and sensible man will openly reason like this. You ought to be ashamed for displaying this kinda mentality in 2013? Mtchew

bioidris: GOOD WRITE-UP

Apart from all the aforementioned, what are the wrong reasons people get married?

if i don't marry coz of Solution partner, good food and sex, why will i marry.

Good topic!
One should marry when you're absolutely sure you've found someone you love who equally loves you back, and shares, understands, supports your dreams, goals, life style, attributes etc. Someone who totally gets your kinda person and has similar future prospects, wants and all of that.
Funny thing is, as long as you have common sense, you'd certainly sense when you've met 'the one'.
The connection is usually just natural, like there's no faking of feelings and emotions. You laugh at each other's jokes, understand/appreciate each other's sarcasm, wit or humour. Have similar hobbies, etc.
And yes I'm saying this based on experience
You're all welcome
