When marriage is no longer a hasty destination
In the context of modern society, more and more people express caution, even hesitation, before the decision to get married. Instead of considering this a mandatory milestone, they prioritize stabilizing themselves before thinking about getting married.
Ms. Truong Thi Nhung (25 years old, Hanoi) shared that witnessing many marriages "joining and breaking up" in a short time makes her feel worried.
Currently, many marriages are unsustainable and easily broken, making me afraid of starting a family. I think I need time to understand myself and prepare psychologically better," Ms. Nhung said.
Meanwhile, Mr. Hoang Quoc Lam (28 years old, Thanh Hoa) believes that the biggest barrier is financial issues.
I do not have enough economic conditions to support a family. When I am not financially ready, marriage can create more pressure instead of happiness," Mr. Lam expressed.
Reality shows that many people today tend to consider more carefully before making important decisions. They no longer prioritize getting married by age, but focus on quality of life and long-term stability.
Being afraid of getting married is a common and normal phenomenon
According to Ms. Bui Thi Hai Yen - Master of Psychology, founder and operator of the NHC Vietnam Human Psychology and Development System, psychological reluctance to marry is currently a common phenomenon and not an abnormal sign.
Experts believe that the first sign of a person being ready for family life is an excited and expectant attitude towards the door of marriage. At the same time, they are also capable of building a clear plan for life after marriage and gradually moving towards that goal.
People who are willing to marry often have a confident attitude and feel that marriage will help them become a better version of themselves, instead of fear and hesitation," Ms. Yen said.
According to experts, delaying marriage does not mean avoiding responsibility, but may be a sign of maturity in thinking.
''When each individual understands themselves clearly, is fully prepared in terms of psychology, finance and life skills, marriage will have a more solid foundation,'' the psychologist said.
This trend also reflects changes in life values, as many people prioritize personal development and quality of life before entering a long-term relationship.
