Marriage for love?

Been hearing quite a number of couples getting married after being together for 6 months (and knowing each other less than a year).. All these news were sudden too, like 3 months before the wedding? And nope, not shotgun, which will be more understandable. It makes me wonder, did they decided to get hitched coa they are madly in love or is it the in thing now, for people our age?

They don't know each other well, the relationships aren't stable (arguing every 3 days and breakup every week or so), there's no baby on the way. Thus, why the SUDDEN hurry?

I asked around and got collated the following reasons:

1. Managed to get a HDB unit which requires them to get married within the next three to six months (the hurry for flat? Too good to let go)
2. Age is catching up for the female/male, the NEED to get married is getting overwhelming
3. Friends around are getting married and the females felt left out when the other couples who were probably together for much shorter period are getting married

The above are the main reasons and none of it is about love. It makes me sad thinking that people only get married for all reasons except the love for each other. What do the vows mean then? If the marriage isn't due to deep love for each other and the want for being with each other for the rest of their lives? Shouldn't this be the main reason?

It doesn't matter if you need to apply for flat before proposal, nor the planning before everything is confirmed as long as the reason behind all these is the love for each other.

I don't mean that love should be measured by time but the sudden surge of getting married within 6 months or a year of knowing each other (yes, knowing each other from strangers to friends to lovers) is too far stretched. How can you love someone when the rs is full of problems? 因不瞭解而在一起，因瞭解而分開嗎？

I wouldn't want to do so. Marriage is for life, it should be taken seriously. Don't get married due to impulse, it's unfair to the other party and yourself. Don't hurt another person for your mistake.

For those who find this similar, think it over carefully. Are you willing to see the person for the next 50years? Can you stand the bad habits he/she has for the next 50years? If you can't, then don't go to the next step.

Be responsible my friends. Think.
