Getting married is a big deal. You want to make
sure that you’re marrying the right person before you take the leap. Before you
decide to get married there are some important points to consider. Below are 5 reasons
you might decide against marrying your girlfriend. But remember, it’s a hard
decision to take. Take a bit more time to think it over.
1. She wants to be taken care of financially
We’re long out of the 1950s and women are
generally not looking for men who will support them financially anymore, but
now and then you’ll come across one. If she works before you’re married and
plans to quit working and stay home after marriage, you have to consider if
this works for you. Once children come along it’s a different story, but when
you have no children you might not want to be the only one working and bringing
in money. If this isn’t something you’re into, she’s probably not the woman for
you.
2. She doesn’t support boy’s nights out
It’s important that you don’t stop going out
with the boys when you start dating someone. If the woman you’re dating insists
that you stop going out with the boys once a week or once a month, you should
not marry her. She might believe that boys only get into trouble together or she
might not like your friends, but whatever her reason, it’s not up to her to
decide who you hang with. Your girlfriend or future wife should not keep you on
a short leash.
3. She has no friends of her own
Everyone needs at least one friend they hang out
with or talk on the phone with. If your girlfriend doesn’t have any friends of
her own, she may cling to you more often than someone with friends. It’s not a
good idea to get into marriage with a woman who already has no friends. The
chances of her making friends after she gets into the routine and comfort of
marriage is much less likely. You don’t want to be married to someone who
depends on your for all of their social interaction. This will get very
tiresome after a while, as you will want time to yourself every now and then as
well as time with your friends. No couple should spend all of their time with
only each other.
4. You’ve only known her a few months
While it’s exciting to
think that you might meet the love of your life, have a whirlwind romance, and
marry all within a matter of weeks, that’s not usually how relationships go. If
you do meet the love of your life, there is no reason to rush into marriage.
It’s important that you date for at least a year so that you can see each other
through all seasons, holidays, and family functions. You don’t want to leave
anything to chance. You want to see if you’re compatible and able to compromise
with each other and with each other’s families.
5. Your relationship is one-sided
If in your relationship you seem to be doing all
of the work, you have a one-sided relationship. It’s important that both people
in a relationship do their part. It’s not fair for one person to work a
full-time job and then comes home and does more work while the other person
goes out and enjoys herself or simply does nothing all day. Relationships need
to be 50/50. Make sure that you’re not taking on more than your fair share. If
you’re always the one doing special things for your girlfriend while she
doesn’t seem to think twice about you, this probably isn’t the woman you should
marry.
Before you marry someone you want to think long
and hard about the person they are today. People don’t often get better after
marriage. What you see today is probably the best it’s going to get. Marriage makes
people much more comfortable, but that’s not always a positive thing. Are you
ready to marry your girlfriend?
