Why are you married? Seriously, Why?

This October seemed like a good month to get married. Of course, except me. My mom often asks me when will you get married. You know what, no matter what the topics are, my mom could scratches the themes to marriage.. I'm sick and tired with it. Tired of being asked when will you get married. It's totally none of your business, OK? I will say to her if she isn't my mom. Still want to have my freedom life, and have not enough time to enjoy my casual life yet. More important, the reasons for getting married still not come to my mind yet. Then, why now? If you got married, do you remember the reasons? Isn't an impulse to do, is it?

Not an impulse to important to do something like that on impulse, I married because we loved each other and wanted to be together and share our life.

Getting married is a life choice! For me it is a voluntary act and shouldn't be done with force, pressure and the like.

If your not in love or ready to settle down then you shouldn't rush into marriage. It's meant to last forever so it's something you should be ready for before you say I do.

You will get married when you are ready. Mothers tend to worry that they won't have grandchildren soon and that is why they want their children to get married.

I got married in the month of Nov. :) This year will be my 1-year anniversary. Some get married for money, some get married for love, among other things. I married for love, but also for other reasons.

What's your age ? your age only should decides the marriage . Please follow your mothers expectation. 28 or 29 age is good to get married .

oo-er, no, age is never a thing as the reason to get married, at least for me. I won't get married until ready for it even though maybe 30s.

@Lignitecityabishek96 er, that would be a point. But, hm. no, I won't do it if I don't. Have no kids is not a big deal. Then, if I meet someone that wouldn't like kids, then it isn't a problem for energy.

@Behindtheguitarbar No crossing 30s is not good in my point of view .. Consider if you gets married in 32 or 33. If you get a baby after these age ,it would be difficult for you to grown up. And after 35 years you will loss the strength and you cannot able to take care ,the 3 year old child. He or she will run ,you cannot able to catch. Because you have no energy at that age. Am I correct ?

I have been married now almost 19 yrs. and the reason I married, and continue to be married is #1 I Love Him, and #2 Cannot imagine my world without him. There is nothing wrong with not being ready for marriage. Never rush into something unless you feel it's right. If it never happens then that is up to you.

Getting married is a natural thing for me as I met the right person in the right time Of course I couldn't get married if I couldn't meet a right guy or meet him in a wrong time.

I was with my "boyfriend" since age 18 . . . we got married at age 32! People would ask us when we would finally get married for a long time - but we didn't bother with their questions. We knew we would always be together - so it was only a matter of making it official was all. If you choose to get married, do it when it feels right for you and the person you intend to marry . . . don't do it because other people are pressuring you.

That relative of mine last week kept popping up that question. She doesn't realize that not every one is really into marriage, yet she failed to understand it in my perspective.

true. Some relatives are so traditional and never understand what we think.

My husband and I got married because we knew each other and than year later we met again. We were best friends and still are.

The relationship of being best friends and spouses at the same time is so great.
