I am confused by the plural in the OP title. Are you asking about hating ALL marriages or just the idea of YOU getting married?

Marriage is a picture to the world of Christ and the Church. So it is an important evangelical tool.

I'm 33. I get what you are saying and I don't like the idea of relationships. In fact, I have been in great relationships and I HIGHLY avoid getting SERIOUS. I just believe it's safer to be remain celibate than get into a relationship that I won't hold my end of the deal.
Well, you are under no obligation to get married, nor does Christianity look down upon the unmarried state, so long as those who are unmarried are also chaste. I don't see that there's much of an issue here.

I don't think there is anything wrong with no wanting marriage for yourself. Paul did indeed say that it is better to remain single and devote yourself to the Lord.

You may change your mind in the future, you may not. I don't think it's a big deal.

A person has friendships, co-workers and family relationships just to name a few. It's better to know yourself and who you are. You sound like you've had relationships and know what you are talking about.

I wish I cared if people did a hopscotch down the aisle or booked an underground motel for their honeymoons. I just can't stand the idea of being married.
Yes, welcome.
I guess that settles it for you then, your notions about marriage. That's all you can really speak to or for right?
Don't get married. Of course, if you're Christian that means remaining celibate.
