If you don't want to get married.

Even I have come across many youngsters who say that they dont want to get married. when Iask for the reason they say that they dont want to marry and suffer like others, who already married. Might be they are scared to carry the family responsibilities.

I just don't see the need to get married. If I stay with my bf out of my own choice then that means so much more to me. Besides, these days so many people get married just because they feel they should and then they end up getting divorced anyway. I've seen too many great relationships end mostly because they couldn't take the strain of getting married.

Growing up I never had a desire to get married. I always knew I would have children but never wanted to be tied to one person. I had good role models, my parents have been married for over 30 years. Grandparents married for about 50 years, etc. But for me and the way I viewed my relationships, I found myself getting bored easily and usually dated more than one person at a time. As the years progressed I could see the benefits of marriage. I had 4 marriage proposals by 4 different men before I finally said yes to my current husband. Each man was special and wonderful in their own way but lacked something that I needed in a partner. I told myself I would never marry a man who would not take my name. So we are all hyphenated. Hubby and I decided my last name sounded better first then his. I plan on being the first doctor in my family so it was important to me on that front. But equally important was the idea of going into the marriage as a partnership. And if my partner couldn't show his truly wanting to be my partner by taking my name, he wasn't worth my time. A name is important. I teach 1st-3rd graders, they all call me by my first name, Melanie. I have been Melanie for 34 years and do not need the formalities to gain respect from my students. They respect me because I respect them. Hubby and I have been married going on 9 years. It hasn't always been easy because marriage is committment and work. Love isn't enough.

to some people it has been given to them not to marry and to others it has been given to them by GOD not to marry.i think that it is only few people that has been given this gift not to marry.to them that has not been given that dont want to marry,dont know or see the reason why they should marry.it they know they will do.so.some might have seen the way some married people live next door and the marriage is not peaceful .they might generalise it that all marriage is the same and decide not to marry. i pray God will help this kind of people to know the truth about marriage

me, i wanted to get married soon, i'm so excited for that day to come.. maybe those people you are talking to are afraid of commitments or might have a phobia in a relationship, they are afraid to get hurt.. that's why they decided not to get married.. but this fact is not true, we will find happiness if you choose the right person for us.. right? someday they will realize the fact..
