Never Consider Any Of These 7 Things As A Reason To Get Married!!! by mschubby: 9:35am On Jul 04, 2015
There are many great reasons to get married but on
the other hand there are horrible reasons to get
hitched.
For your marriage to be successful and happy, you
must know the reasons why you have decided to spend
the rest of your life loving your significant other.
Take a deeper look into yourself and know where your
feelings lie.

1. For the kids: It may seem like a no-brainer to
marry the father of your children, if you had
them out of wedlock, but it’s not always the best
idea, and in fact, is one of the worst reasons to
get married. I speak here from personal
experience! I’m not suggesting that the man may
not be a good father, but that doesn’t
automatically qualify him as a good husband. If
you’re hoping marriage will make him into a good
father or husband, it’s sad, but it won’t. He is the
father and partner he is, just like you’re the
mother and partner you already are.

2. To please your family: I married the first time to
please my husband’s family; they pressured us into
marrying because they thought it would settle him
down. It was a total disaster, of course. Making
any major life decision with the goal of pleasing
someone else almost always means putting your
own interests and happiness on the back burner…
and it almost never works out.

3. Tick Tock!: Your biological clock may be ticking,
but rushing into a marriage so you can have
children may be a disaster in the making. Your
future husband is more than a potential sperm
bank; think of him as a partner, then the father
of your children, then as your husband once your
children are grown. If he doesn’t fit this formula,
you might be making a rush into marriage for the
wrong reasons. Besides, you don’t necessarily need
a husband to be a mother – that’s what actual
sperm banks are for!

4. For money: Marrying for money, or financial
stability, isn’t in itself a bad idea to get married,
as long as both of you know why you’re getting into
it. Marriage is, of course, much deeper than
romantic love; picking a partner with similar
financial goals and habits is actually a good idea.
But marrying solely for financial profit is a bad
idea, morally, ethically, and even statistically:
these marriages rarely work long-term.

5. You're lonely: Even if you’re afraid you’re heading
down a path that will lead you to being the crazy
cat lady, the one who reeks of loneliness and
desperation, destined to live forever alone with
your ever-increasing collection of porcelain
figurines, don’t marry a man you don’t adore just
so you won’t be alone. Yes, companionship is
important, but imagine how sad it would be to
meet your dream man… after you’re already
married.

6. You think your partner will change: If you’re
hoping your man will change, settle down, once
you’re married, think again. While everyone makes
practical changes once they’re married, often
times their habits and personalities don’t, no
matter how much we wish they would. Marrying a
man, hoping he’ll change, is a set-up for
disappointment.

7. For the dream wedding: You’ve been planning your
dream wedding for years, pinning glamorous
goodies on Pinterest all lunch hour long. But do
you see beyond the wedding into your married life,
into the future? If you spend more time day-
dreaming about the invitations you’ll send, the
glittery head-piece you’ll wear, maybe you don’t
want the marriage as much as you want the
wedding.
