We find ourselves wondering, what\u2019s the rush? Why throw yourselves in a whirlwind of financial responsibility and emotional commitment that is so\u2026permanent? Now, I\u2019m not saying everyone needs to wait until their 30\u2019s or 40\u2019s to get married &#8211; but it does have it\u2019s pro. Here\u2019s what\u2019s great about not getting married while you\u2019re still in Pampers.<\/big> <\/p>\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/44072.png\" width=\"100%\"><\/p>\n<p>  <b><big><big>1. The freedom<\/b><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n<p>  <big>We\u2019ll this doesn\u2019t always apply to everyone but getting married can tie you down. And if you manage to keep your independence, just wait till you start popping out little ones of your own &#8211; that\u2019ll go away real fast.<\/big> <\/p>\n<p>  <b><big><big>2. Experiencing life<\/b><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n<p>  <big>Why are you in a hurry to start worrying about kids, bills, and a potentially adulterous spouse while you can still find the time to go to the coolest clubs or hike mount Kilimanjaro? Slow. Your. Roll.<\/big><\/p>\n<p>  <b><big><big>3. You\u2019ll be stable when  you have children<\/b><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n<p>  <big>Do you know how much diapers cost? Do you know the cost of putting a child through schooling, university, then post-graduate studies? Do you know the emotional toll of worrying about a little child? You cannot be a child yourself and raise kids at the same time.<\/big><\/p>\n<p>  <b><big><big>4. You grow, personally<\/b><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n<p>  <big>Give yourself time to grow as a person. Travel the world. Experience different things. You\u2019ll learn things you never thought you\u2019d learn about yourself and in a way, it will help you find exactly what you\u2019re looking for in your significant other instead of just marrying the first steady partner you have.<\/big><\/p>\n<p>  <b><big><big>5. You grow, professionally<\/b><\/big><\/big><\/p>\n<p>  <big>Having the time to invest in yourself and your career will ensure that you don\u2019t end up bitter and regretful. It\u2019s also smart because you get to dedicate yourself to your job, something you cannot do if you have responsibilities towards  a spouse or children. <\/p>\n<p>  Moral of the story? Don\u2019t get married. Just kidding. By all means, tie that terrifying, permanent knot and obsess over every detail in Pinterest boards. Just be sure you\u2019ve enjoyed your single life enough and that you are more than ready to start this new chapter.<\/big><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><big>We\u2019re all a
