Girl, Take it Easy! 9 Impulsive Moves That Could Ruin a Relationship

8. Eloping

Eloping, by definition, means to run away with your lover with the intention of getting married. There is nothing wrong with that if you’re trying to save money or don’t want to be bogged down with the details of a wedding. But it is believed that most people who elope do so on a whim or on a wave of romantic feelings that may be short-lived. If you’re in Vegas and find the idea of a drive-thru chapel appealing after a night of drinking and partying, you might wake up the next day regretting your decision like a scene from The Hangover. Getting married too soon could be a mistake if all you want is to be married without considering that you actually have a responsibility of being a wife or a husband. Marriage is a serious commitment that shouldn’t be entered into lightly, so think twice before you run down to City Hall and marry someone you’ve only known for six months, because the honeymoon could be over sooner than you think.
