These days some people feel marriage is just a piece of paper, or as they are not religious who cares what the church thinks of them, or many other scenarios.

Some people feel like since their relationship is perfect as it is then its a sign of distrust of asked to get married, some think that what is the point on spending a huge amount on one day of your lives when the money can be better spend elsewhere.

I have heard all these and more from people I know.

Never heard anyone ever say this, in my entire life. How bizarre.

And that's the last we hear from the original poster regarding this fairy tale.

I thought nowadays couples decided to get married as a joint decision .

I'd suggest if the OP is writing about themselves the waiting for a proposal thread might be helpful to her.

Don't really get why the general assumption is to get married
