At my age, I really wanted to get married and to settle down with the man I really loved. And having a happy family with kids to play with. Many of my friends are married and having a kid. Its kinda stressing me out. Having that goal, and hoping it to happen so soon. But I know it will come in time. Have you reach your " I want to be married" Age? What was it? Did you find a date or Did you just let it happen when it happens?

I have crossed marriageable age long ago, married and children also are married. When I was in marriageable age, I had some family responsibilities. Hence I asked my father to get my younger sister married and I wanted to be of support to my father, who will be left with alone as my mother was no more. Then my father was adamant that he will not get married younger daughter first when elder one is there and got me married. So marriage was thrust on me.

I am feeling that thing exactly these days. It started when I reached 29 and it seemed everyone I knew was either married or was having kids. I don't think it's about insecurity or the feeling of being 'left behind', I am happy with the things I'm doing and I don't think I wanted to change any of that. But now, I have this feeling of wanting to settle down. My boyfriend tells me he's heard me implying on it several times this month alone, but assures me that he does want to marry me too but he's just saving up for the responsibility. We have had a lot of quarrels about the topic because he says I insist about it every time, but I didn't really mean it that way. I don't know, perhaps you're right, I am in the age when "I want to be married" comes to my mind often. But still, I'd have to disagree. I don't think it's about marriage. I think it's more of I want to know that he's really planning or want to be with me. I want to be assured that regardless what happens, we'll be together and the best way to be assured is when the both of you have a definite plan of date or year to get married - you know what I mean? Well, he doesn't get that all too often. I want to just let it happen, but this little brain of mine just can't get it. I have asked my friend who was more mature than me about her ordeal with this situation, she's unmarried at age 35 and she did tell me that there was a point too in her life when she definitely wanted to settle down with someone. But after a while, she assures me that she did get over the feeling and now she's focusing more on what matters. She says that if ever someone did want to marry her (and she wanted him too) it'll be a bonus in her life. She's no longer rushing right now for something to happen. So, I guess it comes with age. With everyone else posting family pictures and family trips, I'd sure think that this is mostly the cause of our insecurity though we try to brush it off. It definitely leaves a mark in our subconscious and shows itself in all our activities regardless how we control or hide it.

never marry but continue because if you marry then your story will finish and you know once love story will finish you won't get interest in life

I'm already old enough to get married, but I still don't want to. I have a long-time boyfriend, but we don't want to get married yet because of lots of problems that we have right now. Maybe when we finally get past these hardships then we could think about getting married.

you want marry as soon as possible with the man, who loved you. wishing you good luck. for me, i already married and have a sweet baby. oh i don't think marry is every thing for live and life. from my experience, stay single is better then marry. lolz. marry always are not bring hapiness, its may bring happen in life. before marry its a dream but after marry its may be unwanted things.

Personally I really didn't have the luxury of spending singleness for a while before getting married. I got married at the age of 17, it was during those days that lovers must get marry after they have done "it". That happened more than 30 years ago and we are still together, as sweet as ever. I wouldn't advice young people to do what I have done, I guess I was just fortunate. enjoy!

At my age (64) I´m looking for a BF that would live in his own house. But I would like to have a company even if I have a lot of good friends and a lovely family. It seems that we, women, need a nest. I didn´t have time to be stressed with that when I was young. I started dating my hubby at 16 and got married at 18. It was the best desision I have made in my life. But being a widow for 9 years makes me want a man of my own too.I have met men these last years but none of them atracted me and I believe in atraction. Take care, relax and it will happen

i am married already, when i was just single, i dream of marrying at the age of 25 and having a child at the same age too, but i had married at the age of 24. i never regret anything because i met my two children and wonderful husband. i hope someday you'll get married and have kids too. the sooner the better because women below age thirty has an easier delivery compared to women at the age of more than thirty..

Hello, The most frustrating answer would be...NO..although am already at my age, i wonder if it's even gonna happen,i haven't gone out much lately and as of these moment am having a nice time being single. although i can be hard sometimes being alone but better off than having a little of my free time sacrificed and arguments here and there. some day but not this decade i think

yes and I am in this stage now, and I am 26! I have a boyfriend for 4 years now and I really want to get married although I know in my heart that we dont have enough yet to build a family. I am more of, "I want to have kids" age. Funny but then I want to get married first before kids. I just hope it will be sooner like after a year or two. Hey dont be stressed out, you will have your chance and will find the right person in your life. Good luck! =)

How old are feodda, if you dont mind?I just want to asked are you already prepared to get married, its not just you want to get married, or you feel to get married.Its matter of preparation of many things.Are you prepared to be mother, to have a baby, finacially ready or stable, emotionally prepared.If its you only stress about that your all of your friends are all married and your not the only one not yet married, well maybe God have a better plan for you, or maybe the right time will come.You just wait what's God plan to you.And just prayed that when you get married, you find the right person that will stay for you until you grow older.Everybody has God's plan for us!Dont be rush your future.You know the songs Fools rush in.
