Hi fellow mylotters, when girls reach a certain age, they usually think of the M word. Yup, that's right. Girls usually think of marriage around early or late twenties. I am in my early twenties and i still do not plan to get married. however, I keep hearing people around my age already married. Some of my batchmates or school mates were already married. I feel like they tied the knot too early. They did not even have the chance to explore and they did not have the chance to develop their career. In my opinion, they should have married later so they would still have time to accomplish their dreams and goals. What do you guys feel about this? Happy mylotting.

for me, married is about choice and mentalism. some people choose to young married in order to have short age difference with their daughter/son. but some other choose to establish their career before married. there's nothing wrong with this. the most important thing is they understand that married is serious thing and they have to think seriously before take decision to get married. married is for forever, right?

hello savagecabbage! I do agree to you my friend. In my own opinion also, getting married is not a contest. There is no need to rush. I am also in my early twenties and plans on getting married is very far from what I am thinking right now. I still want to enjoy the freedom of being single. And I wanted to have a good career before I go to another chapter of my life.

I am all for you because marrying in an early age restricts your future in the sense that being single you can do what you want and marriage is a big commitment and there are obviously resistance. you have to think about your partner when doing anything and that is not good when you get married early. There is still so much to explore. I have seen these days girls are marrying at late 20s. Good on you, I like your thinking. My mother used to tell me that marriage is something that you will do one day or another therefore do not hurry into it and enjoy life when you are single. After marriage things change forever. thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

actually everyone will marry sooner or later, marrying later is good but not preferred because once getting aged there wont be any joys and early marriage is not so good because they are not matured enough. actually when someone is ready to marry they should have good financial situation and be ready for all the hard works after marriage
