Which is more important, carrer or marriage? To me, carrer is more important than marriage. Happy marriage is supported by bread . What is your opinion?

I think it is great to care for someone at first and then if it leads to more feelings for one another then marriage can be considered. I do not think that marriage is for every one of us though. It is up to each couple to decide on what would make them the happiest with one another.

hi curious888... marriage should be first priority than career...i know many will disagree but here are my reasons: 1)if you concentrate on your career first and the time you are successfully wealthy then chances are you are too old and have less chance to find a marriage partner. whereas if you find marriage partner first both of you can help each other in each others career advancement. 2)career takes longer time frame - warren buffett the richest man in the world today marry at a young age but it didn't hinder his career because his career concentrates on long term investment of stocks. 3)start early family less expenses- prices are going up up up due to inflation and the earlier you marry and have children the less the impact of inflation and the more you will save...^_^ e.g. cost of education before approx USD350 now its approx usd500...you save USD150 if you start early...^_^

Some people have no desire to have a carrer outside of the home, and that is okay-for them.Others would be miserable not having a carrer and a family too early would make them dissatisfied with the direction their life had taken. So it is just according to the person and what they desire out of life.

Obviously career comes first because that will enable you to become self sufficient and stand on your own feet.But you must be careful and not allow yourself to be carried away by it other wise while chasing a career the years will slip by and you will suddenly find that you have gone beyond the marriagable age and you may not find the right boy/girl and you will be forced to make a compromise which could lead to an unhappy marriage.

thanks for your kind advice. Sometimes, carrer and dating have to go hand by hand.
