im already turning 24 this coming september and still in a relationship status. haha.. nowadays at my age, people get married. it is as if i get so behind.. hahah.. some just got engaged and everytime i send them a congratulatory note, the question is being passed to me saying "when will you get engaged?".
well to my part that would be like years from now i guess because my boyfriend has so much dreams to fulfill yet and i respect him for that. to me getting married is not such an issue here but honestly i already want to get married to be with the man of my dreams and that is my present boyfriend.
well i can wait though.. i can wait for my boyfriend for the right time for him to propose to me. of course we both have to show each of our family our stability to create our own right for them not to worry so much on us that we might not have a living of our own..
waiting for the right time is the most correct thing to do as of the moment and enjoying each others company as a couple..
how early did you get married? have you had a successful married life?

Hi skbh12.. Hope its okay i will respond though we have the same status at the moment. Eversince my ideal age for marriage is not earlier than 28 years old. Until at this very moment, I cant picture out myself getting married and oh before i forget the so called RESPONSIBILITY that marriage entails makes me say NO at the moment as well. I met my betterhalf already a long time ago, yet I still have plans before i get settled. It's always been an issue between me and my fiance, since I ask him to wait for three more years. I always make him understand that there are things in life that I want to achieve while I am still single. Its quite different when you say "I" than "US." I always believe in self satisfaction.
Well, there's always a right time for everything. Right now, we are really enjoying each other's company and exploring the world. Its been my dream to tour some countries before I reach the age of 30. Hahahaha, everything has a time plan for me yet there are some life's surprises that may change it. Goodluck to both of us!

yeah.. you are the same with my better half.. wanting to do a lot of things before deciding to settle down and i admire him for that because he wants to prove something to my parents that they are wrong with the way they think about him..
well, God's blessing to the relationship we are in and that it may not be easily broken after all those years that we have been with them.

When you get married is ENTIRELY up to you. Don't let anyone tell you what you "should" be doing at this or any point in your life. You do what's right for you. If you're not ready or just don't want to get married yet, then don't.
I'm 21 and I just got married last month. I spent my entire two-year engagement being told I didn't know what I was doing, that I was too young to be getting married, that I was making a huge mistake, I should wait ten years. I do know what I'm doing and I know what I want and I wanted to marry my husband. It was my choice to make and no one had a right to tell me what to do.

yeah you are right.. but still i can see that we cant really settle down for marriage yet. teehee.. we still have to earn a lot for the big event i must say..
you are right about people who shouldnt be dictating me on what to do and when to get married. it is really up to me and my boyfriend if we want to settle down and face the reality..

Now days people are waiting later in life to get married well most anyways. I got married at 36 I wasn't looking to get married when I wanted to go to the movies/dinner or whatever I had a date to go with so i wasn't worried about it. I dunno what happen...lol Guess Mr Wonderful swept me off my feet and this August we have been married 9 years.

There is a bit of an age difference between my husband and I. When we got married I was twenty-five and he was sixty one. Now I am twenty-six, and he is sixty-two. We eloped in Arizona. Now we are planning a larger wedding cerimony for family and friends here in my hometown.

I got married at 21. I know quite a bit about the world, thank you. But, I think it's far more important to know yourself.

well, once you get married in my opinion you'd get to know the world instantly. that is what i strongly believe.

well i guess fights are normal in a life of a married couple. it is also better that arguments are experienced by couples for them to learn and helps in improving the relationship they are in. right? after all, when we get married to man we wanted to be committed with, we must show submissiveness to them. give and take should be part of the married life.
hope everything goes well between the two of you and may God bless your married life. ciao!
