Why do women worry about getting married so much ? Many marriages do not even last ?

Question

so what is the big deal if you do not get married ever ? Because many men do not like marriage does not mean they do not like you or that it is somehow your fault you are not getting married.

Answer 1

I hate this kind of question, because I certainly did NOT want to get married - it was my (soon to be ex) husband who nagged me into it. And I was right, because as soon as we got married he began to take me for granted. I will never know why he was so keen on the whole idea. I think it was because all our friends were getting married round about the same time.

I didn't want children either, but there, I am happy to say, I was dead wrong, because he talked me into having kids too, and they are now the light of my life.

I would never get married again.  

Answer 2

Well theres that whole wanting to find someone to spend the rest of your life with someone else thing... Or the having kids issue.... General wanting your life to mean something and to be about something more than your own selfish desires. I hope you graduate high school next year. Your grammar is awful.

Answer 3

Social stigma. Biological clocks. Wanting to have kids. Not wanting to be alone. Some possiblities.

Answer 4

People think marriage will be like a fairy tale, or like in the movies or something. I got married at 26 (being an optimist) and divorced the man a year later. Marriage is a terrible idea, I don't know why people think it's so great. Even with someone I really love, the idea of living with one person forever is awful.

Answer 5

I don't know either, Ive never understood it. I did get married young but it was in a registry office with no guests and was very low-key, the last thing I would have ever wanted was a white dress and everyone staring at me, I cant fathom why so many women would want that but that's just me. And Im still with my husband five years later and happily, no kids and we plan not to have any, I think marriages split cause people have kids too early too and they dont even know eachother barely and then they bring a kid into it and its one big mess.

But I think some people think of a big wedding day but never think of the marriage that will follow, a wedding is just one day, it shouldn't be made such a big deal.

Though your wrong that many men dont like marriage and wrong to say "women" instead of "some women" cause not all people are the same, theres plenty of women i know who dont want to marry. You cant make blanket statements like that.

Answer 6

my husband prooposed to me after twn weeks and told me i was the girl he wanted to marry after 2 weeks. dont really see how that means i pushed him into marriage lol!

Answer 7

There's such emphasis for a woman to be married, have babies and work full time -society dictates it and makes you feel wrong for thinking outside the box.

I don't understand why any woman will question her own self-worth, it's self-hatred.

Answer 8

I'm not someone who emphasizes on marriage. Many men do not like marriage, I agree but they need to be with someone who doesn't intend on getting married. If you mislead someone into thinking you're going to marry them and then don't, then you're an a*****e. Plain and Simple. BUT if you told the person from early on tht you do not have any intentions of marrying her or anyone else and she's still with you, then shes shouldn't be complaining!

Other thing, you shouldn't generalize, instead you should say "why do some women" not "women" because not all women are like that. I'm not.

Answer 9

its because women (and myself) want the storybook ending.. and

we want to make sure that every other woman around your area know that you two are together and nothing they can do.. but it is basically a thought that we should have everything of our dreams..

ex: the big house, white picket fence, two kids, a dog playing in the back yard, happy marriage..

it helps to get rid of the thoughts of not making it with the one that we truly love....

but yeah it is just something that over centuries has been a symbol of a promised forever and  and it has shown that you really love the person...

Answer 10

women want to get married because then they don't have to have s*x anymore, clean anymore, look good anymore and have an excuse to get fat.  Right most guys don't like marriage, young guys here horror stories from older guys that are stuck in one.
