Don't take me wrong, I am happily married . I am asking this question in behalf of my friends. I know many people who are above 30 thirty and not married. They don't regret it, but whenever they meet people who are married , they always ask them two question "when are you getting married?" Or "Do you have any problem, due to which you are not willing to marry?" They are not having any problem, they are just enjoying their life. I don't think marriage should be done only because you are above 30 . What do you think?

People can get married at any age these days, and most like being single and not tied down. I don't think there is a time frame or age where a person has to marry as long as they are happy.

It is a personal decision quite unlike traditional Asian societies where the parents used to fret. The earlier norms do not apply, meaning, now women also work. As they have own income, they can do what they want with their lives and should be left to decide for themselves. Likewise, men have to adapt and not expect their wives to cook for them - siva

first of all it was God not man who instituted marriage. While the state governments have imposed a tax on marriage by requiring people who choose to get married according to the "Laws of the land" or state. Marriage is much more than a piece of paper or a tax. Government should never have imposed any fee or tax on marriage it is actually a violation of "Church and State" By saying this I am saying irregardless of of if you are a Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Atheist. It is still between you and whatever deity or non deity one chooses to give acknowledgement to. Marriage is a commitment between two people who are willing to trust and be together and respect and honor one another. Who behave in a loving manner and do things together. It is a friendship and a partnership of a life time. Some chose to make it to one another and that is good enough and live as such, some choose to say vows before men and God and have a ceremony. Historically here in the USA many people would live together for years, work together, build a home and have a family and eventually when a minister came through you might find 10-20 couples finally saying marriage vows to one another to make it right before God, Society and the church. Marriage is not just words it is living and doing things as a couple. There are legal benefits of marriage as well as somethings that are not so beneficial. So being married has a lot to do with who the couple is and their personal values and beliefs. To God and Christians it is sacred and special. Some it is just special and good enough to live as a married coupe and do things as such and they are happy. So are they married. Yes by all intent and purposes they are content and happy and so are in essence married irregardless of laws of the land or society. Morally they are married, socially as far as government fees they may not be married but basically they are married even without a ceremony, wedding or formal affair of any sort. There is an old joke that when God saw Adam and he was alone he of course made him Eve and when Adam saw her he said "WHOA Man! thus came about the name for Woman. God gave Eve to Adam they were married, no vows, no bridal gown or cake. Just themselves and God. From there according to the bible the entire human race began.

I remember when I was still in my 20's and was still single, an old maiden asked me as to when i'm getting married because I had a boyfriend already....I got annoyed and replied to her that it was her who should marry first....I regret to disrespect her but I just felt insulted on the way she asked...

@jcvee2009 I can understand that it's very irritating question.. whoever there in your place would have reacted as you did..no regret in that.its ones personal life and wish why others get involved too much in it.it's frustrating question too.

Some people like being single but trust me inside they wish they had someone who would look after them when they are sick. Wish to have someone who would hug them and love them when they see a couple but they won't reveal. This was told by a person who was single.
