Love and marriage

Love and marriage may go together like a horse and carriage, but most or some married couples set off without a shared road map.  Each partner comes to the journey with his or her own set of directions including assumptions about roles with each other says a private mental health counselor.

Broken marriages are frequently result of people who were not qualified to marry but went ahead with the marriage for all the wrong reasons.

Are you one of them?

  • Girl pregnant. Those men who are forced into marriage because they made a girl pregnant.
  • Arranged marriage. Those men who hitch out of their will such as in arranged marriage.

Here are some options to consider whether to marry or not to marry from the expert:

  • Your priority. Set your priority.  Giving the marriage a chance is a big risk.  You can go on if the self-doubt is small only, otherwise, when the bother is more than ten percent, you may be looking for trouble says a marriage counselor.
  • Decide yourself.  With a person who you trust, talk things out.  He or she may be of the following:  Parents, best friend or priest.  Putting out what's burdening you inside is relieving yourself of some emotional troubles.  He will make you think clearer and this is important.  Good thing about it, the person you've confided in will most likely give you the other side of the issue which may be clouded by your emotional state.  Listen to them but decide yourself.  Do not pass on the decision-making process to this person.  You'll have to make it yourself whatever is the outcome, you will be held responsible for your actions.
  • To back out.  It's never too late to back out even if the invitations have been sent out or the necessary down payments have been made to the suppliers.  Better be straightforward and tell the would-be bride you're not ready to be a groom.  For sure, it will hurt bad; but it would always be better to get hurt now than to live a life full of pain.  You can do if you've not take advantage of the would-be bride.  But if she's pregnant, it will not be easy.  Backing out is different from breaking out. Backing out is you inform the would-be bride of the decision not to proceed with the wedding.  Breaking out is you just walk out of her.  Backing out is better option since you're treating the person involved as a human being.  If you set your priority straight, there's no way you'll committing more problems.  The most that you'll have to suffer is the negative talk and some loss of money.
  •  Physical danger.  It is best for you to go away in case if threat or physical danger.  It is best for you to go away and the relative peace of mind may give you the chance to think things over again.

Marriage is a union.  It is not just a man and a woman agreeing to go through the ceremony of marriage even if one or both parties are not committed to the new relationship.  At least, this kind of marriage is a deception to both parties involved as the direct victims.   Bad things about this, your kids will get involved.

Now that you have agreed to many. You better get your mind to marry or not to marry.  If not, for one reason or another, better not push through it.  If you insist, you're making the problem bigger if not actually worse.
