Unfortunately, lots of people these days get married for all the wrong reasons. Here's a list I've compiled and if you feel like one of these reasons pertains to you, them umm, you probably shouldn't get married! And if you are married, did U get married for a stupid reason?
-All of my friends are getting married, I'm just getting drunk!
So what if everybody that you know is getting married? It doesn't mean that you should too! If everyone that you know masterbated to the Jonas Bros CD, would you do it too? Yeah, I didn't think so. And if you do know people who do that, then they shouldn't be your friends to begin with.
-I want a baby
No you don't! Babies are annoying and will change your life. If you want a baby go and babysit for a kid that you will eventually have to give back at some point.
-We've been dating for so long, it only seemed like the next step!
This is probably the dumbest reason of them all! There's no relationship schedule. If you feel like you're in a rush, or if he's in a rush, there's something fishy going on. Make sure to find out if he was born in this country.
-I want to plan a wedding and get drunk
Women everywhere have dreamed of their wedding day ever since they were a little girl. But that's not an excuse to go ahead and plan a wedding for thousands, or millions of dollars, only to end up getting divorced a few years later, because most likely you aren't a Kardashian, and if you are, I'm on Twitter!!
-I want to move out of my parents’ house!
Yeah, you really should! But getting married isn't the way. Get a job and move in with a friend. Haven't you ever watched Three's Company or Sex And The City? Having a roommate is way more fun!
-I want to have sex all the time
Sure, who doesn't? But you can still be in a relationship and have sex all the time. Or have one night stands. Or become a prostitute. See, there's plenty sex to go around!
-I felt bad saying “no”
Really? Because you'll feel even worse giving that ring back eventually. Just sayin'

These are such silly reasons, Only reason you should get married is because you love the person and want to spend the rest of your life waking up next to them. :) "All my friends are getting married,I'm just getting drunk!" Ha. That's a great thing!
Oh number three...This reason, often named is movies (He's Just Not that Into You), is heard so often its disgusting. Everyone agrees its stupid but, yet, of all of the reasons you've listed, its the only reason that I hear on a recurring basis. I feel like if people have issues with the monotony of dating to such a degree that they need to take the next step to liven things up a bit (in this case marriage), they should examine the relationship in the first place. There are other ways to spice up a cold romance. Role playing, puppy, whatever. I just cannot comprehend how one would trade a dull dating life for a dull married life. People's flaws don't get better with marriage. They become more pronounced. That isn't to say I disagree with marriage. I think its wonderful and would love to be married one day and when that day comes, it surely won't come because I need to "take the next step" or liven up my stale relationship with some Tom.
I've had a friend break up with his first major gf only to get back together and instantly marry. Then get pregnant. Then move to Michigan.
The stars really aligned for that one! :(
Marriage is looked at as a casual encounter these days. I expect plenty of good people I know to marry only to divorce. The only thing that irks me is that it trivializes the institution of marriage for people who really mean, "I do".
Ditto, ditto,ditto! How can so many people be so dumb when light is so bright?
