Terrible Reason to Get Married #1: Solving Relationship Problems
One terrible reason to get married is to solve relationship problems. Some people mistakenly believe that getting married will magically make all their relationship issues disappear. However, marriage amplifies both the positive and negative aspects of a relationship. If a couple already has a strong foundation of love and respect, getting married may enhance these qualities.
