Maybe some people get scared because of what has been happening around, like marriages ending up in divorce or annulment. I think 85% of marriage just ends up in divorce nowadays. Even if we are not in Hollywood, it still happens. It is scary because we never want that happen to ourselves..

I'm not really sure if marrying nowadays is actually hard. The process is not that different from that of years ago. Well, in my country, the laws haven't changed drastically. I think you might be wondering why people don't want to get married immediately or why they take their time to get married. (I hope I'm right.) If this is the case, then I think you're right that some consider their finances first. I for one had to save for a few years before I got married. I just wanted to make sure that I could provide my wife and my soon-to-be family some decent shelter and that I know I would be able to feed them. Plus I had to save for the wedding itself. We have a very large extended family and a large number of friends which we invited since we wanted them to be there in that very special occasion.

Marrying now is more financial contract than meeting of two hearts. People look for more financial stability than give importance to one's character.Few years back marriage was solemnized based on the good character and family background of the prospective bride and groom. Today people look for wealth before marriage is fixed

My not get marry and still save money together? For the wedding ceremony can be a private and small affair no need to be big and expensive.THen once get married and save money together meanwhile loan a house to stay together and save money.It is just an excuse for the guy the delay marriage just in case wrong partner or waiting to see whether there is another better option or just lazy to get married and tie the deadly knot.

I got married after only a year of being with my husband. We were in love and I didn't think there was any reason to wait. There was time for saving money and things like that. Real love has no need to wait. You never know how long you have on earth. So we felt like we didn't want to spend another moment of not being married for as long as we do have...

Getting Married is not easy especially when it comes to the point that you both don't have enough money to start a new life w/ husband or wife. ..It is a lifetime commitment that you must have to value. Some people wants to get married maybe because of their age they don't want to be left alone in their future so sometimes they got married in the right person even though they have a lots of money. I like the idea that you both didn't get married because you still don't have enough money for your future but for me if you both really love each other and you already in the right stage to be in one then why not?! if two people really in love each other then nothing that they can't handle even money...

I think today everybody suffers a high pressure. Especially the global economy seems to be worse. And getting marriage is a serious matter. People want to have a good fiance and then getting married. And there will be a big cost for the marriage. After that, you have to also consider the cost of having children. These are not easy. I love China

It's not hard to get married, actually. If you wait till you have enough money, I am afraid you will not get married because nowadays it's hard to get enough. If you two love each other, get married soon.

I am still not mentally and financially ready to be wed right now. For a wedding, a lot of money will be require and a lot of preparation need to be made to ensure the big day is not a disaster. Being married meant committed myself fully to my husband. That's really a huge step and will be one of the biggest decision in my life.

Getting married is the foundation of a wonderful voyage. Occasionally love just isn't sufficient to guarantee the success of a marriage. You can lower your chances for annulment by being choosy in whom you marry. Various couples undertake that living together will give them a well chance at having a positive marriage. Statistics do not support that statement. Having second feelings about getting married is usual, but if the doubts endure, listens to that inner voice. It is better to delay or cancel a wedding than get married to the mistaken person or for the wrong reasons.

its hard because its expensive to get married especially if you want your dream wedding. and after the wedding, you need to think about your own house, car and then having a child. having a child is like an investment so you need money from the day you learned about his existence to the the day he will be out of the world and to many years he will stay with you. and above all, you need to be emotionally ready to avoid unwanted separations.

My husband and i got married after 3 years of being sweethearts. We saved some money but we didn't spend it all in our wedding. Instead , we save a lot for our appliances once we were married. Our wedding was so simple and we had it on a weekday so our closest friends and relatives will be the ones who can attend. But we never regretted having a simple wedding, because what we are after is that we already can buy the needed appliances after our marriages.

I can't imagine its any harder now than any other time.... the matrimony of marriage is still attainable... Its the life after the I DO"s that makes the difference..You can surely get married but making the life afterwards is a huge down ward spiro for a lot of marriages.. If some people wait for that moment when everything is perfect, the financial status, the brick house with the white fences, it may not be anywhere in the near future...so one must do what they feel is right...Whats right for some may not be right for others.....

speaking of our life today, its so hard and difficult for our living.if ur planning to get marry nowadays,it is much better to think it twicely bfore marrying.See to it that u have already a stable job,that u r already responsible enough to face the reality and see to it that u are matured to handle and shoulder everything in u.Am not discouraging u not to marry, but am just giving u an advance advice in order to realize it bfore entering ,for it is not really easy to stumble down ur life from good life to bad life...

Misunderstanding is main reason why? Sometime the small argument can't settle until blow out. They just don't think a toleration in their life is important and sacrificing plays another role in life. They have to live with tolerate and not egoistic in their life. It is can make them unhappy forever.
