Financial favor
A college education is expensive and some students use marriage to gain access to tuition-fee waivers. It may be dreams come true to marry the love of your life, but you might be risking your education and your independence.
If the partner is a great fit for you and you don’t mind getting married, then it will work out fine. But, if you were not made for each other and disagree, the marriage will not last for long.
Conclusion
College education has enough school and out-of-school activities to keep you busy. You need to attend classes, study on your own, and work during free time to earn money to sponsor your studies. Having a life partner might appear great because you share fun times together, but you should also consider the negative part of it. Drifting apart as a married couple is something that happens, regardless if you had marriage in college or not.
A decision to marry should be based on your love towards your partner to ensure that you stay together for a long time. The formative years in college are important as they can determine the direction of your future, so make sure that you should carefully consider all your options.
