Fear of marriage = Gamophobia

The fear of Marriage is defined in our Phobia Dictionary as Gamophobia.

Savio's Notes on this Specific Phobia
Guys are born with a fundamental, genetically-transmitted mental condition known to psychologists as Gamophobia. The fear that if you get attached to a Woman, Some unattached guy, somewhere, is having more fun than You. All married guys assume that all unmarried guys lead lives of constant excitement involving hot tubs full of hot fashion models; whereas in fact the climax of the typical evening for most unmarried guys is watching an infomercial for Hair-in-a-Spray can while eating onion dip straight from the container.

So, guys are extremely reluctant to get married. This is why, when a guy goes out on a date with a woman and finds himself really liking her, he often will demonstrate his affection by avoiding her for the rest of his life. The reason is that the guy, using the linear guy thought process, has realized that if he takes her out again, he'll probably like her even more, so he'll take her out again, and eventually they'll fall in love with each other, and they'll get married, and eventually they'll take a trip around the world, and they'll be walking hand-in-hand on some spectacular beach in the South Pacific, reminiscing about the lifetime of experiences they've shared together, and then several international fashion models will walk up and invite him to join them in a hot tub, and he won't be able to do it.

This phobia is generally caused in males however there have been growing instances of females suffering from this phobia. Instances of this phobia have been observed since man first discovered the light bulb or maybe much before that.

Phobia Treatment & Prevention according to Savio
Although millions & millions of young men suffer from this annoying phobia (for a woman) very little accurate treatment has been researched out. So each year countless female hearts are still broken when guys dump them at the altar or after a few dates. Pre-Marriage Counselling for both the Man & Woman leads to the most definite cure & understanding of this long-standing phobia.
