Why Many Women Are Scared Of Getting Married
Marriage is scary to many women, but instead of confronting their fears, they choose to avoid the topic altogether. Here are four reasons women fear marriage and why they may not need to
1. Emotional and financial insecurity
The tendency for the blazing fire of love between them and their partners to dwindle over time scares women a lot.
The questions – Will he love me still when I get bloated from the rigours of childbirth? What if some days we run out of things to say and the conversation dries up? What happens if he becomes financially unstable? – and much more worry many a woman.
2. The pressure of becoming a mother.
You know you do not want children — at least not at the moment. However, you know your parents would love to have grandchildren, and your future in-laws most likely want grandchildren as well. If you know you are not ready to have children or do not want children, you need to tell the person you are with. This is a conversation you need to have before marriage. If he loves you and respects your decision, then there’s nothing to fear. Just because you do not want to have children doesn’t mean you cannot marry the man of your dreams.
3. Career pursuit
Some women are literally married to their jobs – so what’s the need for a man.
They dedicate more of their time to their profession and climbing the ladder of success, often neglecting their emotional needs and those of their partners.
For them, marriage will create a lacuna between them and work. Thus, they would rather remain single.
4. Relationship changes.
Sometimes marriage changes attitudes and priorities. Sometimes a woman can lose track of what she once envisioned for herself to satisfy her husband’s dreams/goals and family life. You do not have to lose track of who you are and what you want. You can do it all. It’s just a matter of balancing everything out.
5. Deceit.
Many women believe all men are the same. Men are liars, cheaters and full of deceit. They would rather be alone or just date without any strings attached. This way they can avoid hurt.
6. Risk of divorce
Some women, because of their not-too-good experience in broken homes or the stigma attached to being a divorcee, would rather remain single than get married and risk breaking up.
