Who you choose to marry will play a key role in your future happiness. If you question your decision in any way, here are 7 reasons why you should not get married.

The moment you enter your mid twenties, the whole world discovers a new found obsession to see you

Why is it that marriage has been made into the ultimate life goal?

Before we dive into this list, I’d like to point out that in some cases it does make sense for a man to get married. But before taking the plunge, it would be wise to carefully consider each reason below why you should probably not.

1. Marriageis just a label

Love is more of an inward thing than the marriage processes used as a proof. If you want to be committed to someone, you don’t need a piece of paper telling you that. You can be as dedicated, committed and loving a partner as anyone else without getting married.

2. Not all relationshipspassthe test of time

Marriage doesn't secure the longevity of a union. If things become rough in marriages, divorce becomes an option, possibly the ultimate option. Whether or not the separation is out of mutual consent. When two people decide to end a long term relationship that they’ve invested their soul and heart into, getting into legal hassles is the last thing they want to be involved in

3. The Wedding

Why would you have your balls screwed on tight to get through just this few hours event. Aside the thousands of Ghana cedis that day consumes, the bride is the one that ends up getting all the attention and admiration when she possibly did not put a dime in it. The money spent on wedding ceremonies are huge and could rather be invested into something more lucrative than some other extra stomach you will have to feed in the name of 'responsibility'.

4. 50%Of All MarriagesEndInDivorce

In Ghana here alone, there are over 600,000 reported divorces cases. Marriages are only 50/50. What other long term commitment would ANYONE make if it only had a 50/50 shot at success? Would you buy a car if right before I sold it to you I said, “Ok, so this thing will only start 50% of the time and that’s the best you can hope for?”

5. Your Freedom is Gone

Why will you put yourself in a situation where you would have to get back home because your partner is angry or bored when the party just started.You are limited and restricted in your activities just because of the other party.
