Love a first sight seems like a romantic reason for marriage, but it's not a good predictor of marital success. Such feelings alone provide a weak foundation for a long-lasting relationship. Rebounding also hinders the chances for marital longevity. People fall in love more easily when they're on the rebound. Research has found that people suffer low self-esteem after a breakup and are far less discriminating in choosing a partner because they are trying to cope with their loss.
Rebellion leads some into a marital mismatch.
Getting even with parents, for example, by marrying someone they do not like is always costly. As with marriage on the rebound, the wedding is a response to someone else rather than to one's partner. Loneliness can drive a person into a hasty marriage. The problem with this motivation is the lonely people will end up lonely in marriage if the relationship doesn't have much more of a foundation to stand on. Obligation sometimes substitutes for love when considering marriage.
