Does Marriage Inhibit One’s Freedom?

Did you know that a lot of people out there are scared of getting married just for one reason? They fear that once they get married, they no longer have that kind of freedom they used to have. They feel trapped according to their own way of thinking. Not everyone shares similar sentiments anyway; but that is a topic for another day. What we want to find out or discuss today is a very critical question that continues to generate some measures of heated arguments amongst people of different views. Does marriage inhibits/limits one’s freedom?

Does marriage limit or restrict one from doing those things he or she used to do in the past? Do you feel guilty spending more time with your friends and colleagues instead of with your spouse? How do you normally feel when you are forced to go home to your partner; especially when you have a couple of other important things to do? Do you feel like: “oh if only I wasn’t married, I would have done this or I would have stayed a bit longer?”

Is it easy to convince your partner that you still want to continue keeping friends from the opposite sex despite not having any ulterior motives?
