\"african-american-couple-at-wedding\"<\/a>When two people are deeply in love, marriage seems like the obvious answer. But let\u2019s not kid ourselves, people marry for reasons other than love every day.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re ready to march down the aisle and find yourself wondering what\u2019s love got to do with it, return the bridal shower gifts and reconsider. Seriously, no china pattern is worth a lifetime of unhappiness.<\/p>\n

Check out these 13 reasons you probably ought to call off the wedding \u2013 after the jump!<\/em><\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

To please your parents<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, your parents would feel better knowing you had someone to help take care of you. But enough about you, they really want grandchildren.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

To prove you\u2019re straight<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re trying to prove your sexual orientation to yourself or others, marriage isn\u2019t the answer.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

To help a friend in need<\/strong><\/p>\n

Need I remind you that entering into marriage fraud for immigration purposes is a federal crime? It\u2019s just not worth it.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re pregnant<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finding out you’re pregnant is scary. Finding out you’re pregnant while single is even scarier. Rushing into a marriage before you’re ready almost never had a happy ending. Adjust to your new role as mommy before taking on the added responsibility of marriage.<\/p>\n

You want your child to have two parents<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s natural for single parents to want to provide their child a loving two-parent family, but you’re enough until the right partner comes along.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve been together for so long<\/strong><\/p>\n

You’re dating a guy and it’s going OK. He loves you and everything so that’s good. Should you settle and marry the guy? All signs point to no if you’re heart isn\u2019t in it.<\/p>\n

To get out of debt<\/strong><\/p>\n

You’re drowning in debt and see no way out. Before you marry a man with stacks of fat cash, understand that you can\u2019t put a price on personal happiness.<\/p>\n

To get out of your parent\u2019s house<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marriage isn’t a Get Out of Jail Free card. If you can\u2019t stand living at home with parental, find some roomies and get out.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019re supposed to<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every young girl is raised with the notion that she’s supposed to get married. Screw that! You’re a grown woman, do what you want to do.<\/p>\n

To help your career<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marriage is desirable in certain careers. Before you rush to off to Vegas, consider how divorce may impact that same career.<\/p>\n

Everybody\u2019s doing it<\/strong><\/p>\n

So everyone you ever met is now married and you’re left “singled” out. Resist the peer pressure and go your own way. Love will find you when the timing is right.<\/p>\n

To have a dream wedding<\/strong><\/p>\n

The appeal of grand wedding is undeniable but what\u2019s it worth without a lifetime of love ahead?<\/p>\n

To have a baby<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, conventional wisdom tells us, “First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage,” but maybe you\u2019re not a conventional kinda gal!<\/p>\n
