Most of us have known how fairy tales work. Find your soul mate, fall in love, get married, and live happily ever after. Well, sorry to burst a lot of bubbles but that’s not how it works in real life. <\/span><\/p>\n Marriage is a big thing and is not something that you can just easily decide in the hopes that everything will work out just like how you want it to. <\/span><\/p>\n Sadly, today more and more marriages lead to divorce and that’s not really encouraging enough to get excited in tying the knot. Most people nowadays have so many <\/span>reasons not to get married <\/span>and who can blame them?<\/span><\/p>\n Is marriage an assurance that you will be together for a lifetime harmoniously? <\/span><\/p>\n For those who firmly believe that marriage is sacred and vital for any relationship, that’s perfectly understandable and is, in fact, good confidence in marriage. However, there are also people who just don’t believe in marriage anymore and as there are reasons why one should get married, there are also equally justifiable reasons not to.<\/span><\/p>\n Truth is – marriage by religion or by paper will not guarantee that the union of two people will work. In fact, it can even give the couple a hard time in the event that they would choose to end the relationship. <\/span><\/p>\n Marriage is not a sealed promise that you will be together forever. <\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n It’s the two people involved who will work together for their <\/span>relationship that will make it work<\/span><\/a>, married or not.<\/span><\/p>\n While most people cite different benefits of being married like having the legal rights over all assets of your spouse, remaining single<\/a> has its benefits too. Believe it or not, it can even surpass the benefits that married people have.<\/span><\/p>\n Before, union by marriage is beneficial because together, you’ll have a better life with regard to financial status. Today, more men and women are independent and can make their own money so just thinking about marriage may even sound a little off. <\/span><\/p>\n That’s the reason why<\/span> pre-nuptial agreements<\/span><\/a> are often suggested.<\/span><\/p>\n Imagine this, when you get married, you will be legally locked down to just one person – forever. Sure, it’s amazing for some but for other people, not so much. So, if you are a person who wants to keep their freedom, well, marriage is definitely not for you. <\/span><\/p>\n No Marriage means<\/a> no binding contract that will or might limit you to do what you want to do.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n So, for all those men and women who think marriage isn’t for them, here are the top <\/span>reasons not to get married. <\/span><\/p>\n We’re living in a world where marriage isn’t that important anymore. We just have to accept the reality of today and stop living in the hopes that without marriage, you can’t have a happy family or partnership. <\/span><\/p>\n In fact, you can have a relationship, live in together and be happy without having the duty to get married. <\/span><\/p>\n Many people may ask you when you are going to marry or maybe you’re getting older and you need to marry soon. This is just social stigma that everyone needs to come to terms with at a certain marrying age but we don’t really have to follow this right? <\/span><\/p>\n You can<\/span> live together<\/span><\/a>, respect, love, and support each other even if you are not married. That paper won’t change a person’s traits, won’t it? <\/span><\/p>\n How many married couples do you know that end with divorce? How are they now? <\/span><\/p>\n Most marriages that we know even in the world of celebrities end in divorce and most often than not, it’s not even a peaceful negotiation and will even post a greater impact on the children. <\/span><\/p>\n If you are familiar with divorce, you will know how stressful and expensive it is. The <\/span>lawyer fees<\/span><\/a>, adjustments, financial problems, trials, and so many more will drain you financially, emotionally, and even physically. <\/span><\/p>\n If you have seen divorce first hand, you know how financially draining it is. Do you really want to go through this? Do you want your children to see how a failed marriage can ruin their happiness?
