Hello myLot fellows! :) Lately, even before I turned the Big 3-0 last February this year whenever I bump into old friends and acquaintances wherever and stucked for a while for a little chat, the question about getting married tops.
I am single. I have no boyfriend for a long time but I love hanging out with my girlfriends - both single and married, my girlfriends since grade school, high school & college, church organizations, and some I have met, became and stayed friends until this day. But, it doesn't mean that I don't want to have a boyfriend. It's just that this is my present situation and I am doing nothing about it because I am enjoying my time and I don't want to push myself having a boyfriend right now. And, definitely, I dreamed of walking down the aisle and exchanging fervent vows to the man I love and of course, loves me.
Some friends ask, why am I not married yet? Well, why not? I believe people have their own fate and marriage is among the things that will happen in a time - whether they plan a date or not.
When and what's the right age to get married? When you're still young? or when you're old enough? Please share your thoughts about this. Thanks! :)

for me you have to get married around 25 that's what age i want to get married beacause as what I have noticed if women get married in there older days. it's already hard for them to have a child so if you want to have a perfect fammily better get married early..! so that you will have a happy family. but maybe you still don't find that lucky guy. so finding though.!

When I was a lot younger back then, I wished that I would get married at 25. But 25 came and passed and no charming prince in sight,but, instead of feeling sad, I count my blessings and appreciate what presents that life gives me right now. :)
Yup, the truth about biological clock is that it never stops ticking away. :) It's not easy being a woman, isn't it? :)And never easy finding the right guy too, whew!
Thanks for posting! :)

I don't believe that there is any set age to say you should be married by. Marriage comes when you find that right person to spend your life with. Keep in mind that not everyone is supposed to be married. If it is right for you than that is great. But don't get married just because people are asking why you have not married yet. Each person decides what is right for them. It is not a crime not to be married. I believe when the time is right if you are destined to be married than the right man will be there. And it doesn't matter whether you are old or young, when the time is right love will hit you in the heart no matter what age you are.

Thanks for the BR. Yes, that is a picture of my husband and myself. I changed my avatar a bit before our anniversary on the 20th of August. We have been married 37 years as of that date. I love coming here and looking at that picture. It always makes me smile. I love him very much.

Wow. I wish when I get married I'd stay as long as we're very old and still very much in love and sweet with each other too :)

The maturity of a person is what is more important than the number itself when deciding to get married. There are people who are old but have the maturity of an 18 year old.
The decision to get married is also influenced by the priorities set by the person. Those who want to have a more stable life for their future family would tend to marry at a later age when they are already settled with their careers and has enough money to sustain a better future for their family. While those who really want to raise kids tend to marry at a much younger age. It is easier to have children when you are younger than when you are older.
Still, what is important in any marriages is that it is founded by love and the couples will try their best to work hard to make the marriage work.
