Some unwise, or at least questionable, reasons to marry:
- for security
- for money
- for sex
- they may never get another chance
- pregnancy
- their parents want them to
- pressure from a partner
- they want to move away from home, or escape an undesirable situation
- they are depressed and assume marriage will be a solution
- to acquire citizenship
- to have children
- they are lonely
- they need a mother or father for existing children
- “If I don’t get him or her someone else will”
- it is the expected thing to do
- marriage is “romantic”
- for social status
- their present life is dull
- they need someone to structure their lives
- they feel guilty about their single lifestyle
- for peer, social, or professional approval
- they are infatuated with someone
- they have been dating someone regularly for a long time and it would be hard to back out of things now
