10 Dumbest Reasons to Marry in 2016 by Ebony Whiteberry

1. Family and/or societal pressure.
Marriage is too personal to be decided by others. Be sure they won't be there if it turns out bad. You would be on your own. So be in charge of your game. In that way you have no regrets.
2. Pity for the other.
Who does that anyway? You are no man's Jesus. Don't die for anyone. Don't marry trying to help out and don't get married to anyone who has pity for you. The beneficiary always end the slave or better still the slave master in rebellion.
3. Escape from sexual indiscipline.
Who says? Marriage stops nothing. Things can only get worse. If you are sexually indiscrete then you are and marriage won't stop that. Straighten up first then go ahead. If your mate can't do without it be rest assure that he or she still won't even when you ate not there. Lol.
4. Gratitude.
Thank you is always enough. Marriage is never a good compensation or show appreciation for whatever good anyone has done you. If its a favour that would require your hands in marriage, you should better not receive it. Worse of when the good is done to another like parents and you are the "thanksgiving offering".
5. Fear of hitting the edge.
The edge is not that of a spear so don't kill yourself in fear. It may not be your turn yet but it would be soon. You just be right. It is better later that wrong I bet.
6. Escape from loneliness.
Yes. Marriage is for companionship. That is so true when its right and so false if not. If you are lonely as a single person you could even be more lonely when you are married. O yes. Truth is marriage could be lonely on its own. If loneliness is the issue then what you need is less likely to be marriage and more likely inner bonding, at leas first.
7. Physical attraction.
Hilarious isn't it? Yes its an important one but em em. Maybe you just must not over emphasize it. If it is all about that we all would have to divorce at one time or the other. Truth is people change and beauty fades. Love is the real deal please. (Oops...sorry my wife is beautiful. Very)
8. Promise keeping.
Why would you promise to marry a person when you are not yet very sure? If you are not sure let him or her wait till you are. Baseline, never marry a person all because you already promised to. Even when mummy failed to buy us that candy we threw tantrums but moved on. Broken hearts mend. Be ready to break a promise not lives. Don't remain forever shackled with one promise made under some hormonal influence.
9. In search for freedom.
Just marrying would not give you any form of lasting freedom. In fact you have to be triple sure that you are not on a jailbreak mission that leads into the dungeon. If anything could be a prison it is a marriage especially when its not the right one. Be careful. Financial freedom? Oh no! Wealth have wings and can fly away. Labour to be rich. Don't marry to be rich.
10. Win love
Marriage would not create love. Love is what should power marriage. You won't love or be loved because you married a person. Love is not a reward for marrying someone. It is the reason to marry. This means, if you are not truly in love there is no point. Marrying him or her would not make you love either. The risk is not worth it.
Well those are the 10 most stupid reasons you or a friend may want to get married. For these 10, NEVER please.
