Not everyone is ready for marriage at 25. I wasn't I didn't know what I was getting myself into. However, after a divorce and lots of self awareness, I picked a much better partner at 42! We have been married for almost 10 years and we are there for each other. As a relationship (and dating) life coach, I now help my clients Get It Right This Time! That is the title of my book. So what i am saying, you have to know what you are getting into, go in with your eyes open. Marriage is not for everyone- if you are still considering it, go to http://www.motivatedtomarry.com to learn what it takes to be marriage minded. Good luck with your Journey. Coach Amy

The first reason this article gives is soooo stupid. If you're broke, just go to the courthouse; that's it. No need for an expensive wedding; I didn't had one with my husband, and we're super happy.

really ! thats the reasons you came up with for not getting married here is my seven reasons for marriage. 1 it turns boys into husbands. a protector and provider, not just a guy your sleeping with. 2 a husband will be a better father than a dude that knocked you up. 3 married couples are on average wealthier than people shacking up. 4 married couples on average have a happier sex life. 5 married men are less likely to cheat on you. 6 children raised by single mothers with another guy living in the home are 573%more likely to be molested 7 you can grow old knowing that you best friend will be by your side, until death do you part.

Will you calm down?? Brookeyy didn't offend anyone with her comment and she never said anything personally insulting to you, did she? She was offended by your post because you made it sound as though everything is bad when you're married and the world is made for singles! Now YOU are saying that "The couplehood is correct and I am wrong." When did she ever say that?? What the hell?

Damn woman! You have a great partner, but you're offended because someone came up with a list of things you can't relate to. Be happy! Do you have ANY clue how much "Why are you single" "Well if you haven't found him yet, you're not going to" and "I am sure one day, you'll meet the right person" come up. I sometimes feel besieged by the message that I am deficient for being single. That couplehood is correct and I am wrong. The world is made for couples. I must be some combination of too ugly, fat, lazy, stupid and mean to ever land me a man. So it's nice to see a list of "problems you don't have cause you're single".

I wish I would of read this sooner. I am married and did it young too. I'm ready to be my own person again. I want to be independent and free.

I can't agree with this post one bit :/ I don't have any of these problems with the guy I am with. It kind of made me mad because I feel like i'm being put down for not having the rights single women have. And being married does not mean you can't do anything you want. Me and my guy agree on tv shows. and what guy laughs at a crying lady ? He doesn't care if I want to eat something late at night. And neither of us judge the other on what we eat or when we eat. And going on vacation while married is not like what you describe it at all. At least not for me. I think what you are forgetting is being with someone means you accept each other for what you are. And I enjoyed being single when I was young and being a big flirt just as much as any other girl would. But I don't miss it one bit. I am happy to be with somebody. The only thing I could agree with was the money. Sorry but this post really did offend me. Think about if someone wrote a post "why you should get married" I think it would have been a much better idea to write a "things you can do for fun when single" And this is all just my opinion I am not speaking for anybody else. And I certainly am not trying to bash single people. I respect what someone else wants for themselves.
