maybe you are right on some degree,but you know,girls more easily become old than boys,few people think a boy of 30 years old too old to get married,but girls are not so lucky as boys,a 30 years old girl who isn't married may be thought to be a witch,that is not kidding,hahaha...and i think your girlfriend must be a positive girl and won't let you bear the pressure by yourself.

Hi. Dear Ann2407. You know in our country .boy always be faced with more stress than girls .except under an obligation to support both of parents . they also have to earn much money for their’s present family or for girlfriends. So you need not to worry about your future. Your coming boyfriend will consider about this things before you .hehe. Good lucky for you!

I think you should get married whenever you're ready to be married, not because people are trying to make you get married. I never had a plan for marriage. It wasn't important to me, I really didn't care. I figured I wouldn't get married until I was almost 30, like most people do. But, I got lucky and met someone early. I got married soon after I turned 21 and my husband is 23.

No, I meant I never intended to meet anyone. I had planned on focusing on my career and education. I was never one of those little girls who dreamed about weddings. I just happened to meet him.

I'm not yet old enough to marry (in 2010 I'd be), but I doubt it'll be within the next five years. It doesn't help I'm not really the marry'n type. My Mom wants grandkids too, but she'll most likely have to settle for adopted kids..that is, if my life's ever decent enough for me to be able to take care of children (and I'm not fully confident in that maybe either lmao). Do I worry about getting a house? Well, this day and age, yes...but that has little to do with marriage. It's more of a financial thingamajig...

I think you should get married only when you've found the person you want to live with for the rest of your life, and then, only when you both feel the time is right. I was 21 1/2 and my husband was 22 1/2 when we got married. We were also best friends besides being in love. And, it's lasted over 44 years. So, do not let anyone pressure you into marriage. Sounds like you two have a smart head on your shoulders.

Yes .love is important before get marriage .it is no questiong about that my grilfrend and I love each other very much .maybe we should wait the best time for the marriage .Your marriage have last 44 years ..so when you got marriage you had a far-sight for your love and marriage. Good blessing for you!

Thank you. Yes, we took our wedding vows very seriously. Many people get married, not considering that it will not always be a bed or roses. They don't realize that you and your spouse are individuals and we think differently. But, when you have real love and respect AND communication, you can always work things out. So many just opt to get out of the situation without ever trying communication. And, to me, that is one of the most important things to a marriage. It's not a one-sided communication, but a sharing between the two of you. When you have that combination and a strong will to make it last, you won't have any problems growing old together.

When we have different idea both of us should trying communication .then we love will last all along. And the marriage will be more firm .sounds great !it is no question about that it is a pure-hearted love summarize. We have real love so we have belief to growing old together . Everythings could work out .thank you !

Personally, I think you're too young to get married in this age. Average age for married guys in my society is in late 20 or 30 something. I am 20something this year and I am still studying. I think I am gonna get married 5 yeard from now. I guess having properties and good financial planning before having a family is a very important. Housing and a place for living is also a good thing to be considered.

Well, thank you... I am glad that I am helpful. If you are still struggling with financial problems, the best is to have both of you working and postpone in having baby. That what should be done if you still want to get marry as soon as possible. I think if you have a job, that would be good because you can support your family with the money. But having baby is a different thing... try not to have baby before you're just stable enough... :) good luck. I hope I can hear the good news soon :)

I think I'd marry when I'm between 28-30. The timing should be right. And I'm after a man who's more mature and older than I am so that when we argue it will make sense. About the house, it doesn't really worry me. In my culture we either move in with the boy's family or are given a house by one set of parents. So it shouldn't be much of a problem.

You are lucky .you won’t carry about future and money because you have a good boyfriend.. he or your parents could support a house for you .I really want to a girl .just like you .no bother .no living press .lol…it’s a joke. Thanks for your responses!.

Just see some teens and young people getting into marriage and then having kids, no house, no job, they become their parents' burden. They did not wait and are facing the consequences. For me, 29 years is just a good age to settle down. It's actually good that you are planning for your future. Just wait for God's perfect timing for your marriage. For me, i really don't know yet. But definitely not now. For my single years, i would like to serve the Lord and wait for His destined one for me. :)

I am 23 and I have a two year old boy and I have never been married. I used to live with my sons father but things didn't work out. So I am now back at home living with my parents.

Oh .that sounds not good .maybe you should trying to have a communion with your son’s father. Afterall .take care of your boy by yourself is more difficulty than both of you. Two. And it may take some discommodiousness to your parents. I hope that both of two you could solve you problem as early as possible.

For me getting married would not be after for the age, its a matter of responsibility, you should be aware that getting married is a big deal because you have to consider a lot of aspects... First is money, getting married is somewhat expensive because you have to prepare for your wedding,right? And wedding is not yet the yet the end of the story because it's just the beginning. After the wedding you will think of how you and your partner survive in your everyday life by that you have to work... See, its not the age that you should think for you to get married its how will gonna live with your partners for the rest of you lives...

I'm 40yrs old, been with my boyfriend for 14yrs and we are not married or have any plans to get married. I SAY WAIT!, who cares that all your friends are married. At least one of them will be divorced by the time marriage is on your mind, if at all. Next dont let mom or girlfriend make you feel guilty or pressure to do it because you might hold resentment towards them unknownlly because you werent ready. Like you said about just graduating with not much money or a house. If you want to be financially stable first, do it. What you do for yourself now will make your future even better. I bought my own house 3yrs ago, have a great job since finishing school and im still not married so.... Do what YOU want, and when. On my last note, marriage is over-rated anyway! Spend all this money on stuff that your going to enjoy (maybe) one day and leading up to that special stress induced day, a piece of paper that says: Whats mine is hers & whats hers is hers.

Hello .dear raayven420.in my opinion. A person who have not gotten marriage when he/she was 40 years old is unimaginable . at least in our country .most of people would not do it .they even considering that get marriage and then have a children could provide for theirs’old age .after all .their’s son or daughter could take care of them when they growing old .well .maybe we have different value concept .or we have different custom .no matter what .all of us have right to pursue our blessedness. Personally .I always belive that it is not time for get marriage .but not many years .maybe 30 years old .or 29 .at that time .many things maybe improve .and also the condition is well . Thanks for your sincere words !

I am 27 years old, and I got married last month. I understand you feeling for the same experience. I think marriage is a kind of responsibility to each other. And you will never rashly undertake this responsibility only when you have no hesitate.

Hmmm, I was married at the age of 19.. My ex was going into the military and they told him if he wanted to take me we would have to be married. he had two week before he entered basic and I only had that time to decide. So being that we had been together and living together in an apt at the time I decided to take the plunge.. To be honest marriage is over rated.. It's the next step in a relationship is all .. I have been in a committed relationship now for 7-8 yrs and I'm not sure if I want to mary again. Not saying I don't love the man I'm with it's just that marriage is a piece of paper it doesn't make you any more committed to the relationship than your already were. Sorry about the ramble. But no I didn't plan for the first marriage I don't plan on the next if it happens then it happens. Now about a house that can be rented or bought at anytime it doesn't have to come before the marriage.

hi zhubaohuisdme wow what a name . I was 32 when I got married, and I was married for thirty four years.We rented for the first year but when i was pregnant with my first child my father made a down payment on a house and gave it to us. So we did have a house after we were married several years.

i was born 1973 and i got married august 30, 2002. i got married when i was 29 years old and now we are on our 6th year. we have a two year old son and we are stronger and better. marriage is not something that you can hurry. you must find first someone who you really are ready to spend your whole life. i found the girl who is perfectly fit for me 9 years ago and we had a relationship for three years before we decided to get married. find someone who you will love to grow old with then if you are emotionaly ready and financialy ready then you can get married already.

I am not yet married.. I just graduated my bachelor degree only this year.. I am already working for almost 3 months now.. While my boyfriend is not yet working since he need to finish first his thesis for him to get his diploma... So, for now we can't engaged ourselves into marriage life because both of us are not yet ready to face the marriage life.. Well, here in our country house is also important.. It is good to have your own house and not staying together with your relatives/parents/in-laws so that you are free to decide for your own family and most of all to be responsible... But most of the couple here are still staying in the house of their parents/in-laws since they don't have a house and most of all financially unstable.. They were still asking financial help from their parents.. I am still 20 years and my boyfriend will be 21 soon (since he is celebrating his birthday on September 30).. We are planning to get married 5 years from now so at the age of 25... But on that age we must be sure that we are already ready like we had already build our own house, financially capable and most of all ready to face the responsibility.. It is hard to get married if there is no plan or goal because when you are already in that kind of situation/life you might get lost since you don't have a guide on how you want to happen in your life.. So, I agree with you that you should not get married if you are not yet ready...

I had my first marriage at 18. What a mistake! I was still a kid, way too young as anyone at 18. I think that the minimum age should be 25. I sure dont miss the childish fights back then. Nobody at 18 is mature enough for a huge commitment.
