Nowadays, getting married is not as important as it was in the past. Young people don´t think about marriage as our parents used to twenty years ago, but why do you think new generations are deciding not to get married? There are some reasons for this change that we are going to talk about.
These days many couples prefer not to get married even if they have long relationships with their partners. People prefer to enjoy their lives to the full until the age of thirty, even if they have a serious relationship. They need to feel more independent and some of them consider themselves not to be prepared for the responsibilities a marriage implies.
Then, there are couples who live together and have a baby but they don´t want to marry. They don´t believe in the importance of some papers which evidence their marriage. For these couples the most important thing is to get along together very well, to love and respect each other. Moreover, there are so many families who are married but this doesn´t mean they are happy.
In conclusion, marriage should not be a jail sentence but likewise it´s not a holiday either. I think one should enter into it only when we understand what it really means and are prepared to make the effort required to keep it fresh and to make it fun, and it could be a beautiful experience.
