cons are plenty. But can think of only one main pro - Do you wish to spend your retirement with family/ grand kids or sit in an old age home and talk about the amazing PPTs you made? or the stories of the daily status calls?

your employment life will last for 30 years, retirement life will last for another 30Years. The right question is, do you wish to suffer alone for 30years for someone who will fire you if the profit falls 5%?

There are bad people everywhere. Drunk drivers cause road accidents and some one who follows rules get caught in that.,do we stop driving?.
There is risk in everything. We can take a calculated risk. Don't marry a feminist or someone with too much expectations. It's simple .

Partner nowadays don't share their past making it difficult to blindly follow current state and decide future. In metro cities divorce rate is 33% and casual affair culture is on the rise. It is pure coincidence and based on your luck nowadays to end up with a good person. If you have some objective or goal for getting married then take this bet.

Might sound like old school, but these principles still apply in a successful marriage which are trust and respect. If you find a partner who respects your past, present and future aspirations and you both trust each other, then I donā€™t see anything wrong in getting married.the biggest challenge these days is to find a person who provides both. Spend sometime together and understand each other, check for these attributes, talk as much as you can and also check if the other person respects your space.

It highly depends if you get to know the person before marrying them or not, like for a good amount of time. If you do, then there are more pros than cons.

If you can get a time period of 8-12 months of knowing a person, go for it! Take the chance
