9 Signs You’re Not Ready To Get Married, According To Experts

You want to do this because of society

Before you get married, you should ask yourself a few questions, such as: Are you really ready to do this? Did you find your perfect partner? Are they what you really wanted or are you doing it just because society says it’s what you should do? Hence, if you want to get married just because other people say so, then you should wait until you think that you are ready. 

“You may choose to marry someone out of guilt because you don’t want to hurt their feelings, upset them or go back on a promise you previously made. Sometimes men and women get married because they mistakenly think that this is their one and only chance at love or the love they have at the moment is as good as it gets. Getting married to try to please anyone except yourself happens because of the ‘shoulds,’” said Otto Collins, life and relationship coach and co-creator of Passionate Heart.

“For example, your parents or family say you should marry someone who went to a certain school, is in a certain income bracket or has certain religious or spiritual beliefs, and you take what they say to be more important than following your own inner guidance,” Collins said.
