Statistics prove that all too often couples have decided to marry for the wrong reasons. Sometimes girls start feeling left out when their friends start getting married and fear that they may never get married if they don’t marry their current beau. While the beau might be a really great guy – is he really the one for you?

If you make a decision to marry someone based on any of the following reasons, you may end up paying a huge price in the long run. Be careful and consider thoughtfully your deep down honest to the core reasons why you are wanting to get married.

God has a perfect love story for you… don’t mess it up by making a decision to marry someone that is not the right one for you. If you are honest with yourself, you will know if this one is the right one for you or not.

If you see yourself in any of the ten reasons listed below, take your time to work through each problem area before you say, “I Do.”

1. You want to get married because everyone else is getting married.

2. You want to get married because you are afraid to be alone.

3. You want get married because you want someone to support you.

In our politically correct world, far too many times family, friends, and other people we know fail to share important truths that need to be shared. Someone may instinctively know that you are marrying for the wrong reasons… but they are afraid to tell you. They don’t want to upset you. They don’t want you to be mad at them. Perhaps they don’t want to create a rift in their relationship with you… so they remain silent.
