Real Talk - I Don't Want To Get Married!

Haha! Thought provoking statement enough to make you click on this post right?

Mission accomplished! *winks*

No I'm not referring to me! *smiles*

So I've heard a few people utter that statement and even though the funny thing is once upon a time, this was also my mindset, it is nonetheless a thought provoking question in need of dire answers! 

So why do we really get married?

Someone asked/said in church Sundays ago, something similar; and he/she said "do we get married because of the companionship or because we want to make babies"?

It is believed that what we know or believe personally, is what we have either been conditioned to think, situations we have been brought up in, or circumstances that have shapened our modes of thinking.

So do we grow up thinking we need or have to get married because it is what is expected or demanded of us, or because that's supposed to be the next thing in a person's fashioned out life (I mean, after university/college and a great job, it is only right you think of marriage next right?) or because that's what our parents have done, or because we want an avenue to have unlimited sex without being judged? Orrrr because (the popular one one often hears), "I'm not getting any younger"? Should age be a sole reason for getting married?

What's the deal?

Why do you want to get married, and if you have, why did you get married?

Let me also leave you with these images I found via Google, and this tweet, as they resonate with this post in a way.

I can't wait to hear your thoughts!

Do share.
