Buys, marriage is an outdated institution that disadvantages & traps men for life & men in the developed world are waking up and smelling the coffee so tread lightly. Just like investing in a stock market, it's risky business and deal with it as such. If you are not ready for taking care of the well-being, emotional and financial needs of a young human(s) for 18 years + the fact that things can go wrong & you have to pay child support with all the nasty and headaches that come with broken marriages then stay away from it. Just warning you.

Marriage rates have fallen dramatically in most major European countries over the past decade, as austerity, generational crisis and apathy towards the institution deter record numbers of young people from tying the knot.
The number of weddings has fallen to historical lows in France and Spain and has tumbled in other Catholic countries such as Italy, Ireland, Poland and Portugal, according to national and European data. But people have also fallen out of love with marriage in countries as varied as Greece, Denmark, Hungary, the Netherlands and Britain. Only in parts of Scandinavia, the Baltic republics and Germany is the institution retaining its allure.
In Italy there were fewer than 200,000 marriages last year, the lowest number since the first world war. Numbers have fallen by 24% in the past decade and halved since 1965. Preliminary data indicated that the rate of marriages in Italy last year was 3.3 per 1,000 citizens, said Istat (Italy's National Institute of Statistics), compared with 4.6 in 2003. It was, it said, "the lowest in modern history".
