Growing up with divorced parents I knew that if I ever got married that divorce was not an option no matter how hard it got. Living in two separate houses with two sets of parents was not what I wanted and it's not what I will put my kids through. No hate to any of my parents because they are all happy now but with this new generation I see people my age getting separated and going through divorces like it's nothing. We're already "not dating'' each other so are we going to be ''not married'' to each other as well? I know there are some of us out there that are really trying to make our relationships and marriages work and others however aren't and shouldn't have gotten married in the first place. So here are five reasons why you shouldn't get married.

1. We're (You're) young.

I know it's cliche to say but some of us really are just too young and are not mature enough to get married yet. Most guys and girls don't think this through and when a big fight happens they say ''It's over'' Sorry to break it to y'all but this isn't high school. You can't just walk away especially if you have kids. If you're one of these people then don't rush in to a marriage just to break someone's heart.

2. Don't get married just for the kids.

A lot of people now a days have kids and there's nothing wrong with that but most of the time it won't work out with the other parent. I'm an example of that and I did not marry the other parent just because we had a child together. I knew we weren't going to work it out or make it last. If you can make it work with the other parent and you know that is what you both want then by all means go for it. I wish you both the best but don't just do it because you had a kid together. Also don't just stay together for the kid.

3. Divorces are messy.

The D word is the one word that every couple is afraid of and is the one reason why most couples won't get married. Every divorce isn't easy and everyone walks away hurt. Not to mention how much money they cost and the drama that comes with it.

4. Drama, drama, drama.

We all know that some marriages aren't perfect they are flawed and people make mistakes, it's up to the couple to decide how to deal with those mistakes. Divorce or fix it and move on but of course we all know that with either decision there will be drama. People will judge you for trying to fix your marriage but you vowed till death do you part so you can honor those vows and ignore them or give up and walk away. It's nobody business as well and you can stand up to tell them that. It's your marriage not theirs.

5. Giving up the single life.

Of course it's okay to go out every once in awhile and a night out or a date night but once you decide to settle down you're giving up the single life. You're saying goodbye to your old life and starting a new life with the person you love. So if you're not ready for that then do not propose or get married. Stay single and keep it that way because nobody wants someone that is married but acts like they're single. Once you settle down it's time to think about your career and family.
