Are you excited to get married?
Are you dreaming of a dream wedding?
Perhaps a dream getaway for your honeymoon?
That’s exciting, except you have a bad feeling there’s something wrong.
Maybe it didn’t sit right with you, but now that you’re close to getting married, you develop cold feet and are anxious, and you feel you’re unsure if you made the right choice.
The truth of the matter is we are human, and we make mistakes.
Suddenly, that happiness has turned into doubt.
People get married for various reasons, but is it for the right reasons?
We look at warning signs you’re getting married for the wrong reasons.
Your Relationship Is Easy Or Comfortable
You have been in a relationship, and it has been all smooth sailing.
There have been no problems financially or emotionally.
For you or your partner, it is a sign that things are meant to be.
You’re satisfied, so why not put a ring on it?
An easy relationship isn’t an easy marriage, which means you’ll likely be bored in the long run because they aren’t the one.
You Don’t Want To Say No
Your partner may have made a significant gesture and gone out to propose.
You choose to agree because you don’t want to embarrass your partner or are unprepared.
You feel you’ll be more ready because you love them.
The solution is that you should be wholly committed before saying yes.
You’re Old
You may have had different priorities, such as school and career when you were young.
Now you feel like your biological clock is ticking, and it’s the right time to settle down.
You consider the marriage even to the wrong person.
It’s a terrible idea, as marriage is more than just age.
You Feel Left Out
All your siblings, relatives, and colleagues are married, leaving you the odd one out.
People feel left out, especially when not part of a social circle.
It is the worst mistake to get married to feel included.
You Don’t Want To End Up Alone
Human beings are social; it’s in their DNA.
Being alone is terrifying, and having someone alone feels pleasant—a bad idea, as the right step is finding someone suitable for you.
Chances are you’ll land in an unhappy marriage because you got married for the company.
You Want A Commitment From Your Partner
Love is a curious thing; by all standards, it is human.
Being insecure can force you to pressure your partner into commitment as a sign of trust.
The problem is it will lead to heartbreak for the wrong reasons.
The thought of a wedding excites you more than the marriage.
Many dream of a lavish, luxurious wedding and want to show off to their family and friends.
You want to be the center of attraction. However, what happens next after all the glitz and glamor?
You Have A Successful Partner
Ever since you met your partner, they have been making the right moves at work or in business, climbing up the ladder quickly.
You feel they are a catch based on their wealth and success.
It is a benefit, but it doesn’t necessarily mean the marriage will be successful.
You Have A Child With Your Partner
Due to unforeseen circumstances, you may already have a child with your partner.
You feel marriage will lead to a stable environment for yourself and your child.
It is the worst reason to get married because, chances are, you and your child will suffer because of a marriage borne out of convenience.
Your Family Approves Of Them
You have had previous relationships, and as of the moment, your family approves of your partner.
They are loved and adored, and everyone seems to get along.
Your opinion is the only one that counts because the marriage will be between you.
Guilt
Human emotions are complex and not always easy to understand.
You may feel that you have led this person along for a long time and that committing is only fitting.
You may have cheated on them and believe marriage is the solution.
Trust me, it is not!
A problem can’t and won’t solve a problem; it only creates more problems.
Don’t Get Married Then Regret It
Marriage is a huge decision, so make sure you do it for the right reasons.
