11 reasons why it's totally okay to never get married (2024)

If there is somethingIndian parentsThey would rather their children get their IIT degrees but get married. The moment you reach your mid-twenties, the entire world around you discovers a new-found obsession with seeing you tie the knot. Why? Why has marriage been made the ultimate goal of life? Here we tell you why it's okay if you never want to get married.

1.Marriage is just a label. If you want to commit to someone, you don't need a piece of paper that says so. You can be as committed, committed, and loving a partner as anyone else without getting married.

2.Contrary to what parents think, marriage cannot guarantee a secure, lifelong relationship. What should go wrong, does go wrong. People who don't want to stay won't. And people who really love you stay by your side without any explanation. You don't have to get married to be sure that your partner will never leave you.

3.It's strange how some people will spend the rest of their lives with people they don't even love and suffer every day just because their parents let them get married. It's funny how they see a life of compromise as a solution to a failed marriage. It's much better to be in a relationship that you can break away from when things aren't going well than to stick with the wrong person.

4.We were not born to marry. It is not as necessary as Indian society makes it out to be. Life will still be just as good even if you are single. Marriage is just an institution and you can choose not to believe in it, just like religion. There's nothing wrong with not believing in the idea of ​​marriage if you don't believe in it. It's that simple.

5.Not all relationships stand the test of time. If breaking up wasn't hard enough, it becomes even more unfathomable once the two partners are married! Divorces are messy. Always. Whether the divorce is based on mutual consent. When two people decide to end a long-term relationship in which they have invested their soul and heart, the last thing they want to get involved in is getting into legal trouble. And let's not even get started on alimony laws on shore!

6.Your twenties are the time when you finally come out of your shell and discover the many possibilities of life. It is completely normal not to want to be tied to a marriage. There's nothing more satisfying than living life on your own terms, and you wouldn't trade it for the world!

7.An average Indian lives for seventy years. He is still not an adult until he is 18 years old. And he gets married at the age of 25. All he gets is seven years, seven out of seventy years of his life, to find a woman he loves. Most people never find 'the one' because they get married before they can even try! There is no acceptable age to fall in love. Why can't we date until we actually find someone worth settling down with?

8.Some people want a happy 'married' life, others have different priorities. It's completely okay to never want a wife at home, a house with children. Some of us just want to be independent all our lives, living for ourselves, doing what we love, doing what we want.

9.We grow up seeing everyone around us get married and assume that this is a phase that every man has to go through. But how many people who get married do so because they really want to? There's just no point in rushing into marriage just because everyone else is.

10.In India you don't just marry your partner, you marry the entire family. And honestly, families are the reason married couples always fight. If one set of parents isn't enough, you get another one who likes to be involved in everything you do. It's reasonable not to have that much baggage in a relationship. A relationship is always happier until there are no more people involved than the two partners. And unfortunately that's just not possiblemarriages.

11.There is a lot terribly wrong with Indian marriages. Society won't let you live in peace until you get married. Giving in seems like the solution, but it only makes things worse. Getting married is just the beginning. When you are married, a dozen more expectations are placed on you: having children, buying a bigger house, an even bigger car. Society lays down all the rules for you about what the purpose of marriage is, how an Indian couple behaves and what a successful marriage should mean. It's really not worth it.
