DO not marry:
1. To get out of debt or some bad situation
This is a form of objectification, and it will backfire on you. The bad situation is likely to follow you into marriage and complicate your spouse's life. You will have forfeited the spouse's love and respect and your own happiness. Best to confront and handle your problems first, and then you will have a clear enough perspective to enter a healthy relationship.
2. Because your biological clock is ticking
Most likely this means that you are much older than your spouse. In any argument (and yes, there will be arguments) your age may become an issue. You may even hear age-related insults headed your way. This is especially good for women to consider who are dating younger men. The painful truth is, women age faster and often less gracefully than men do.
3. For money or sex
This is unfair to anyone and necessarily involves a lot of lying. Being imperfect creatures, however, makes us all vulnerable to unguarded moments and Freudian slips. Marital arguments create such like nothing else. Then you will have forfeited the love and respect of your spouse forever, and put a spoke in the wheel of your own happiness. This is because your spouse has realised your true nature and intentions, and no amount of lying or anything else will put the genie back into the bottle.
4. Because you want a parent figure for your children
Many lonely single mothers throughout the world have gotten involved with men, in order to seek a father figure for their daughters; and then the women regret it when the daughters are molested.
It's not just that. People tend to resent having others' kids foisted on them. The kids tend to intrude on space, resources, and intimate time; and disciplining kids that aren't yours tends to be difficult and problematic.
5. Before you know yourself or your partner
Infatuation isn't a phenomenon relative to youth. All over the world, infatuated couples marry---not for love---and soon regret it. After the honeymoon period, reality sets in all too soon. The stresses of living soon take their toll on ill founded relationships, and their eventual downfall is often spectacularly tragic.
To prevent such, honest introspection is necessary. Take time to know yourself, your partner, and the status of your relationship before you make that kind of commitment. If you have serious reservations about your partner, do not marry. Call it off, end things if you have to, but don't commit before such issues are fully sorted. Wisdom has saved many from an unhealthy relationship and an unhappy and tragic marriage.
