I have seen a big dilema among young educated eople in my country hen it come to choosing betwen marriage and career-many shelve marriage and wake up when things to do with marriage dont seem to make sense-what do you say, what would you go for, career or marriage?

I guess I would have to say that I would want to have my life where I wanted it and be stable within myself before I marry. The best thing would be to strive for all my goals that are within reason and then once I have gotten myself together I am ready to take on marriage, family, children etc. I would choose my career first if I had a choice. WHen I met my man, we fell hard. We have been together physically since the first day we decided to become an item. I think that love conquers all. Realistically, if I had a chance to sit back and decide, I would choose to get my personal life and career together. This way I would have achieved my personal goals and could focus on a successful life relationship. But we all know what happens when we fall in LOVE. We become incoherent to our prior goals or relationships. I think Love has a way of taking a good plan and turning it into a ridiculous mess. I would like my plan to work this way. Who knows what will happen. I hope I make it out with my sanity.LOL dl

I think marriage is a pointless insitution, so I would choose career. But there's no reason why two people who love each other can't cohabit for life without marrying. If they both have careers, too, then that's the problem solved. :)

Pointless is abit too strong as far as am concerned, but I agree, that cohabiting is a great hallmark of the marriage concept, though it lacks the legal credentials or shall I say, it looks to anonymous! I also agree that both a wife and husband working is good for that family

I'll choose career. If the man loved me enough, he will wait for me. True love is understanding.
