How often do people get married for the wrong reasons and then regret it?

Now people get married for all sorts of reasons not just wanting to spend the rest of their lives together!





However, when people get married for the wrong reasons it generally causes heartache all round in the end. So why does it happen?





Do you think that people should think more before marriage?





Thoughts?How often do people get married for the wrong reasons and then regret it?
Hi. I met someone in July 1997 and we were married in the December 1997. At the time this didn't seem strange just natural. Needless to say after just 15 months i left him. What i have found out is that it is not until you want out of a marriage that you realise what a tie it is and what you have got yourself in to. So in answer to your question people need to think hard about making this commitment. I have been with someone for 9 years now and we have a daughter together but we are still not married!! I also believe that people forget what marriage is about and it tends to be more about the big day than the 2 people involved. So, peeps please think about this long and hard before you committ. Hope this helps.How often do people get married for the wrong reasons and then regret it?
I am 24 and i have strong views on marriage. Yes i think people should think more before they get married. My friend has just got married and she told me after just three months of being married its the worst thing she ever did. She got caught up in a whirl wind and got carried away. I thinkthat'ss the problem.





Marriage is something that is important. Its about two people being in love and wanting to spend the rest of their life together and being in love, not about a fancy wedding and getting wrapped up in somethingthat'ss great for a while. Its about working though everything together and wanting to do it.





I answer to your question, yes people should think about it before they get married, maybe there would be more happy people and less divorce.
What are the right reasons exactly? It's not that simple really. And there are two sides to everything. What I'm saying is it's rarely all bad or all good.





The answer to your question is 100%. Every relationship involves some of the 'wrong reasons', and everyone regrets getting married sometimes, so it would depend on what day you asked them. It's never smooth sailing, and maybe that's a good thing.





People should i agree think about it more than they seem to these days. That would reduce the chaos that has become modern relationships considerably. marriages seem to have become an impulse buy item.
EVERYTIME someone marries for the wrong reasons they will regret it! I believe people who think that if they marry, and it doesn't work out, they can always just divorce are the worst. We live in a disposable society. No need to fix the TV, just buy a new one....same with cars, houses, jobs, and now marriages. Nobody actually works anymore at anything. If there is no instant gratification, they are off to the next one. It is sad, really.
36% of the time according to Stat's Canada cuz that's the divorce rate here!





Yup - they should think more about the marriage and the long future ahead of them instead of the princess day called a wedding.
whether people got married for the wrong or right reasons - they should stick to it and work at it, and not give up just because there was a row. It is a life long commitment and not something you would take back to the shop if it doesn't fit.
Who decides what is wrong and right reasons? You? Society? Me? Folk get married for their reasons and they are entitled to it. We all have lives to live and should do so the way we want as long as its not illegal.
i would guess the actual figure is alot higher than the stats, so many would never admit it





if i had to guess, id say 75% regret marrying who they married, though only part of that group will leave their partner
they jump in to marriage during the getting to know stage and don't really know the REAL person yet. yes thinking is a good idea.
Yes , they need to think about it more before they get married. Been there
That's why I'm not married!
