7 reasons why many are not getting married
Why aren’t you getting married?”, “Oh please, I want to see the world first, travel, and then let’s see!” is a normal conversation you will hear today. Today, travel is on the top of one’s priority list. People are actually saving so that they can travel and explore a new country.
1. Nobody wants to lose his/her freedom
Single people today are much more proud of not being dependent and being on their own. However, after marriage, the picture changes and you become answerable for every action. That is something people are not ready to do today.
2. Youngsters are not ready to adjust
We have been told by our mothers that post marriage one will have to keep ‘adjusting’ to fit into the new house and new relationships. Our mothers adjusted, their mothers did too, but for us, it’s becoming seemingly difficult to make adjustments because of our fast lifestyle and eternal existential crisis.
3. Career is more important
Will my partner make a fuss about being in office for long hours? Will he or she understand my love for my career? Will he or she be career-driven like me? These are some not-so-easy questions that come up when you love your career more than you love yourself.
4. Everybody wants to have fun
Our generation is plagued by commitment issues. Everybody wants to have ‘fun’ and then forget about it. Facebook should now add a relationship status that says ‘nothing serious’ as people are not ready to be serious about taking the next step.
5. People think they will become ‘boring’
Another strange notion is that married couples are ‘boring’. Because married couples talk about diaper issues and maid problems, people assume that even their future will be identical, and therefore they avoid settling down.
6. Youngsters want to prove themselves
Ambitions do not allow you to think about marriage. And the time and effort needed to reach your goals trump all else. Everything else can wait.
7. Trust issues
It often happens that after a bad breakup, people start developing trust issues. They are badly bruised in their past relationships and therefore they don’t want to put themselves out there.
