When I was a bit younger, I have always dreamt of a day I will have my own family and enjoy the benefits attached to becoming a husband. I have watched with keen interest how mum and dad always related and this has triggered a hunger to grow up and get married so I can also enjoy such bliss.

Because of this very longing for a family, we engaged in the “daddy and mummy play” with our peers (let me just hold it right here, that play was hmm).

Then we grew up and reality dawned on us. We now know better and have found several reasons why getting married is a very bad idea. Today, a good number of our youngsters are afraid of getting married.

2. Freedom:

Someone once said and I quote, “the wedding ring is the smallest and most effective handcuffs known to man.” To some people, this statement is very true. Marriage is a form of slavery which will not allow them to keep enjoying the freedom attached to being single. While some people use this as an excuse to continue in their wrong doings, others use this to focus on their career and future. Some of the ladies are not ready to be committed to the duties of being a wife and subject to their husbands.
