Some young ones tend to get married so soon. They are not thinking about life after marriage. Despite being educated by their elders that marriage is not like a bed of roses, That is why some of them separated right after being married for a few years. Some of them will realize that it is not easy to have this kind of life. What are your thoughts about it? Image Credit: pbs.twimg.com

Yes, life after marriage is not easy, we cannot take responsibility for this marriage, and many people cannot live happily together. So the divorce rate in our country is now 50%. Fortunately, we can get divorced and choose another person to get married and have children

I also heard about this. Not only in your country, but it also happens in other countries. It was so easy to file a divorce case. In my country, we do not have this. It is possible to file an annulment case, but it will take years before it will be granted.

Too many young people in our days are educated but have zero common sense and they lack the necessary maturity for a long stable relationship.

You said it right. I had seen some of them. I felt bad that they only use their hearts but not their brains.

@LadyDuck You said it right. One of my cousins has seven children now. She married at a young age. I felt bad for her.

@Shavkat - They seem to think that life is a virtual game.

It is true that before getting married, a person should give it serious thought. Some people base it on how they feel. When they are in love, they leap into it without considering the consequences they might face later on and believe they can conquer the world. However, I believe that one should eventually determine whether or not they are truly into it. While some people truly do find the love of their lives, others would rather remain single. Even though they might not have a happily ever after, their marriage will be blessed if they both married when they were ready and mature enough.

Indeed. Both couples should be ready enough to face the challenges of getting married. I had so many classmates during my university days who got separated after getting married for a few years.

Some people never get married because they are too afraid to make a mistake.

You have a point. I guess they do not have the guts to do it for the sake of saving one's face if it does not work out.

Marriage was never in my list after I graduated from college and I have no regrets for staying unmarried. Marriage is like. getting into business. One must be prepared with a capital, a working snd revolving fund to keep it going and to be able to sustain it.

I can feel your concern. I am still single and open to having so-called singlehood. I had seen some people close to me who got separated for getting married so early.  I always believed in the saying that most of our old folks utter to us: “Ang pag-aasawa ay hindi katulad ng mainit na kanin na kapag isinubo mo at napaso ka ay puwede mong iluwa.” (Marriage is not like hot rice that when you take a bite and burn yourself, you can spit it out).

@florelway I hope their thinking will be changed into a good sense.

@Shavkat Absolutely correct and most are getting into it. Too much passion sometimes has negative effects as it derails the mind into thinking better.

I think the most important thing is that you found the right one. I am sure some women would have the same situation. Unlike in my country, some married women cannot just leave their husbands easily. For the reason that we do not have a divorce system here.

I agree with you. I am not generalizing the idea. Some who got married early did work out. It is a matter of coping and accepting the fact that they are in a different situation now.
