5 Reasons why you should not marry your partner.

Getting engaged is a pre game to the married life.

It is exciting and many dating couples look forward to the moment in making the ultimate commitment.

A recently engaged friend was having brunch with me and began to reveal she was having second thoughts.

She had been idling with the idea of giving him back his ring for a while and was on the brink of following through the idea.

A wave of shock flashed upon me.

I believed that she was happy and had made the right decision.

I realized that there is more to happiness than the way it looks.

From the discussion that we had, here are a few reasons why you should not marry your partner.

My friend was pressured by her mom to get married and have children because she was in her mid thirties. Child bearing is said to be harder, the older a woman got.
