Would you ever get married, just to please your parents?

For example, if your parents really liked a guy/girl, and wanted you guys to get married…would you get married just to please your parents, even if you didn’t particularly want to marry the guy/girl, or weren’t sure if he/she was the right one?

Answer #1

Maybe. I’d like to say never, but maybe.

Answer #2

Definitely not, marriage is my choise not theirs, it’s for me not them. I would be the one having to live with that person, my parents won’t be a determining factor in marriage for me.

Answer #3

choice.

Answer #4

Me personally no, but I know people who have dated people their parents chose for them(I know it’s not the same as marrying them but it’s the same idea)

Answer #5

I could probably consider it, but I would never get married to please anyone, even my parents. I would eventually be miserable halfway into the marriage.

Answer #6

In all honesty, I’m not sure. I’d like to think that my parents would never expect that from me, you know? If it came down to it, though, I think I’d consider their opinion and see how I feel. At the end of the day, I couldn’t see myself marrying someone I didn’t love or want to spend my life with. It wouldn’t be fair to me nor the other person. I’d be extremely happy if they accepted my opinion and person I want to marry, though.

Answer #7

i don’t think i would. I mean i love my mom but its my life and I’m gonna make my own choices whether she agrees or not.

Answer #8

no, i beleive parents should allow you to marry who you want, when you want.i cant see how prents would love you that much if their idea of happiness is forcing you to marry someone when they say your ready

Answer #9

F*CK NO! My parents would never pressure me into marriage or tell me anything close to that, but if they did, ah no!

Answer #10

No. I would talk to them about it, but I would not marry someone bcuz they want me to. Marrying someone is me going to be committed to them forever. If I didnt want that, if I wasnt gonna love them for the rest of my life, if it werent God’s plan for my life, I wouldnt do it. If tho, I felt that it was God’s plan for me, I would do it. But thats for me, God, and the guy Im thinking about to decide, not my parents.

Answer #11

Never. Period.

Answer #12

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He*l no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who I marry is my desicion.

Answer #13

when my parents wanted me to marry someone i didn’t love…..I told them to scratch a rock on my head but i still would refuse to marry someone my heart wasn’t open to……..even though i did agree with them that she was a very good person

Answer #14

nope. not at all, no way. that’d just be pointless, you got to be realistic, and if ur parents arent acting that way, well, thats their problem.
