Marriage is like a "one and a half way traffic street".
It is not irreversible, so can not be called "one way", but the other way round, i.e.. getting out of marriage, is only half a way, as you are never able to fully get back to the state where you were before marriage, and this 'half a way' is also full of hurdles, complexities, pain and costs, both monetary and emotional.

It is because the stakes are so high, that it is really stupid to jump into such a commitment without first understanding the other person, and your own compatibility with him or her.
On one extreme, there are cultures where matches are arranged by the parents and families; where adults get married to each other for life, sometimes even without having spoken a word to the other, and it is also true that in such cultures, divorces are nearly non-existent. But then, in such cultures, the society is entwined around family, and the individual existence is only a corollary to it. A marriage then, is a marriage between families and not individuals, and come what may, every individual in such societies must ensure that the sacred ties are never given up. That kind of a world does not exist everywhere, and gradually is becoming extinct, as individual freedom takes precedence over any and every other thing, including family.
When two independent individuals are required to get into a relationship with many bonds - legal, social and emotional - to share nearly the whole of their existence, then it makes little sense to take such a step casually. Any intelligent person, while making a commitment even half that important would like to be absolutely certain about the credentials of the other party as well as get an idea as to whether such a partnership would work. Unlike business and professional partnerships, the viability of personal relationships can not be understood without trying it personally. Unless you give yourself a chance to be close to the other person, you will never know what is in store for you. In today's hectic pace of life, even long term acquaintances mean nothing, as from a distance, the total amount of time you can spent together will only be a very small fraction of what you might have to spent together, once you take the bait.
Thus the only sensible alternative may be to just give it a try before actually committing yourself for the rest of your life. This may have sound atrocious in the days where a great premium was placed on virginity, but in this age, it

Love is everyone
This is a game to play with your friends, and for them to play with their friends. Never enough to be crowded; never so few to be alone. You can make your mark, but as in life, it’s not a contest. It’s not about who you are; it’s about the things you do. There is a small planet waiting for you to explore. There is an empire waiting for you to overthrow.

Love is evolving
The world is worth changing, so get on with it. Take your mates and make your planet whatever you want it to be. Some of it is yours, and some is your friends. Some just happens by itself. Sometimes it disappears and makes you sad. But then again, you know that kind of thing can’t last. It’s a balancing act between love and loneliness.

Love is an endeavor
What could be better than you and your mates on an adventure for the benefit of everyone? Play whenever you want, make your mark, then come back later and see how it’s changed. There is always something new to discover, someplace you haven’t seen. Love is not a casual thing you need to take seriously – it’s the most serious thing, in a casual way. If Love isn’t easy, you’re doing it wrong.
