Peer pressure plays a huge role in people's desire to get married.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People just don't realize how much peer pressure, the desire for peer acclamation, influences them.
Most people don't want to get married. Being married, that's a responsibility.
I think marrying somebody who's not a celebrity, it just takes a lot of the pressure off.
What is fascinating about marriage is why anyone wants to get married.
Peer pressure is just that: pressure.
One day it hit me: Truest friends, God bless their hearts, could not care less. They love you, they're pleased you're getting married and, ultimately, they don't give a fig how you get it done.
I think it is really important that people at least have some potentially difficult discussions about what their expectations are - and not just financially - prior to getting married. It should really even happen prior to people living together or casting their lot together.
I think people want to get married to end their emotional uncertainty. In a way, they want to end powerful feelings, or certainly the negative ones.
As marriage goes, I think most people sort of set being - you know getting married as the goal as opposed to being married.
I've never quite understood why people marry; marriage is just an invented structure.
