Why do (not) people marry?
Why do some people marry and some remain single for a long time? When the latter say "afraid of losing their freedom", what do they mean by "freedom"? or do they fear that the relationship in marriage will somehow be worse than just dating/cohabiting? why are they not afraid of staying alone (though still dating from time to time) till their last day? or are they (but still cannot make the right step because of the fear of hearing "No")? Or do they think that living alone is better than having a partner, even when most people in the world prefer to have a partner? (as proved in "Why do people need a partner?")(being afraid of losing their beloved one one day who has been the sense of their life). Or, after all, is it something about them makes other people not want to marry them (too self-centered, not trustworthy, too dominant or too weak)?

Why do people need to marry in the first place? Here is what I could think of: religious beliefs; financial hardships; to have a party and a nice fancy dress; because everyone does it; an act of promising another person that you'll love him/her forever and be faithful...
ReplyDeletehmmm I can't think of much else. Can you?
Does marriage make people lazy and self assured so that they stop caring and take everything for granted? This is what I observe among some married people I know..
How can you promise to someone that you will love him / her forever? Is love a thing that can be guaranteed?
