Top 5 Reasons to NOT Get Married
May 8, 2007 by Kerri Aldrich
Filed under Relationships
#5: Really puts a damper on your dating life (should you choose to disclose to others that you are married, which I would recommend, if I recommended that you date others while you’re married, which I don’t)
#4: You might have to share your stuff. (Think this one through, you “only child” people out there!)
#3: Someone might question the method by which you cook spaghetti instead of just saying “thank you” and eating it. 
#2: Someone might find out how freaky you really are.
And the #1 Reason to NOT Get Married:
You might find out that that someone is freakier than you.

hahaaaaa
I am sure Cory will love you for this one..
But hey it’s true..
What? You think any of that was autobiographical? Noooo…never….
#3 gave it away for me.
Oh…well…yeah…that…
She gave me the dirtiest looks after I came home from those first few post-wedding dates… :rolleyes:
I am not married yet.. Hmm.. I will let u know if these are true after I get married. hehe
Ugh, the sharing with someone else! This is so true. I had a roommate for one year, and it was enough to put me over the deep end with someone else’s hands on MY belongings.
That experience definitely made me re-consider my desire to get married. I think from now on I shall stick with cats. Foul-tempered as they may be, they will never leave my cheese grater encrusted with week-old cheese.
#4: You might have to share your stuff
After you realize ‘how to share’ ,you can’t wait to get married
I liked your #1 reason – it is very true. Marriage has destroyed my dating life…lol!
Yes, you’re so right. She is definitely freakier…..ohhh I mean greater than….hmmm who are we talking about? Anyway, it’s more than Top 5 years back.

Funny how it’s one of the first lessons we’re taught as children, and it makes every relationship better!

WOW! What an excellent idea for a blog. Whoever had this idea before I did is a genius!
I love this blog!!!
Hi Kerri,
This is a great list! And I think your blog is great as well, I like your commentary on marriage too!
I put your top 5 on my blog as one of the top 5 top 5 if that makes sense.
I love both of you more with every word that I read.
bnpositive: Hey there.
Hsien would be the genius in question, though, should she ever fail to be able to fulfill her role as genius you, as the first runner up, should be prepared to step into the role of premiere genius. 
Melissa: Thanks! So fun to have you reading out here.
