Is it TRUE that a girl's ultimate dream is to get married?

Nowadays every girl has different dreams. In addition every girls dream is subject to change with or without advance notice. I went from singer to lawyer to fashion designer to homeowner to real estate broker. All those dreams were within the past week and I am 30 years old. Also, money vs. career will vary depending on who you ask. Some people do what they HAVE to do, to do what they WANT to do. So I may be a money-grabbing housewife that pampers myself everyday..while putting away the bulk of the funds to finish school and open my own real estate firm. It just depends.

Marriage is not a dream its a stage in life, if its cald as dream then everybody get marry before they get mature. And basically getting married is easiest task than other goals in life. So i feel marriage as a stage of life, where its balanced importance for man and woman. Now a days, the woman dreams differs and its boundariless.... Woman dream differs from stage to stage Childhood Getting started with various extra curricular say singing dancing Teenage Variety of dresses, doing something for society, Setting the carreer path Married ladding in the career path with love and affection of partner Mother Bringing up the children Grand parent Being again a home teacher for their grand child....

most of the girls have the dream of getting married and living a normal family life. Personally my dream is to become a full-time housewife, ahhh that will be so nice. But of course i need to help my husband to earn money for our kids future. But i must say not all of women wants to get married and wants to have kids,i have an office mate who doesn't even picture herself having kids in the future, she claims she'd rather have dogs than kids. Funny right? but who are we to judge her? Perhaps she has a bad experience for her to have that feeling. Happy mylotting, cheers!

Hi, I think these days things have changed as when I was a girl yes all I wanted to do was grow up, get married and live happily ever after, that is not the reality. Attitudes do seem to have changed and my own eldest daughter who is 22 is concentrating on achieving at university and building a career for herself before thinking about relationships and marriage even though she has been going out with the same lad since the age of 16, my younger daughter who is 17 works fulltime and has no inclination to setle, marry or have children but saying that my frineds daughter is only nineteen and already has two children so I do think it is a personal choice. We are all different so we can't say ALL girls but SOME. Ellie :D

I Dont know if its the ulitamte dream but i certainly feel it should not be, cos there are lot of better things to do in life than get married

I hope it is not true and should not be. In earlier times women were expected to be house wifes while the men brought in the $$, so back then it might have been their ultimate dream to get married with a good husband. But times have changse know and i keeping with the times every woman should try to be self sufficient, while getting married is one of the many joys of life it should by no means limit your dreams. Your partner should be understanding enough to help you achieve your dreams and even better if you dream together and achieve them. Don't forget to be a human...dream. Best of luck and happy mylotting.

Tough question. I think it always remains in the back of a girls mind. I don't know if I would call it an ultimate dream. I do think girls have a lot of dreams and goals. But in the end, I think finding their sole mate is a thought that remains even if in the distance, it is there.

i would not say if the ultimate dream is just to land in marriage that would mean that she would work only towards that which can be a pretty risky thing to do. Imagine the crash if the marriage fails. I think the ultimate dream is more to find or should i say to get love and be loved by someone nice and to lead a happy life with that special person....when you talk of self-achievement, money provides the feeling of being self-dependent and self-achievement and I think marriage is also part of this list of tasks to do to self-achievemnt. I would love to do something fulfilling where i get some feeling of self-respect and the money- not having to ask for it each time from the husband for him to comment on it. But to just sit and do nothing makes u feel fructrated at the end of the day...I mean, when you compare yourself to other working women who are free, self-relient and still pretty! getting married can be pretty fun - i mean the whole festive mood, especially in the indian wedding. U also have the great dress and pampering by everyone, the attention and respect you get additionally...I think that is pretty attractive and exciting. Sometimes you find smone getting married to get that feeling and importance especially if they know that will be their last chance of getting 'settled'. If a girl's ultimate dream is to get married, she might end up being quasi-frustrated throughout her life. at least nowadays girls have more dreams and though temporary - marriage is one amongst the dreams but surely not the ultimate one...

In the old days, women were taught that they should aspire to get married and have chidren. It was what was expected of them, and what they were taught was the only option for them. Nowadays, women know that there are other choices. They can have a career, stay single, decide not to have children. Many women have dreams that do not include getting married and having children, and that is the way it should be.

I never dreamt of getting married and having children when I was a girl. I remember some of my friends in primary (elementary) school planning their wedding, and even the kind of curtains they'd get in their first house, lol! But it seemed so alien to me, and even as I grew older I never had that dream of wearing a big white dress, having a big cake, oh, and finding the perfect man! I was much more interested in studying, finding a job and becoming independent. As it turns out I've since done the getting married and having a child 'thing', and I'm really happy to be a stay-at-home mum while my daughter is young, but personally, I could never have gone straight into marriage and being a housewife without getting some independence and doing my own thing first. I also hate the idea of being a money-grabbing housewife and spending my time applying makeup! I'd feel like it was a bit of a waste of my life, really... But everyone's different, and some people might still have this girl's dream. But I agree with you; I think that they're probably in the minority.

Well I can say it is true to some other people but I can say too that it is not because just like me,I'm a girl and I can really say that marriage is not my top priority although I always to have a happy family in the near future and for sure all of the people always wanting that but it really depends to the person,there are lots of different kinds of ideas that we will never know to the person's mind but my answer is..Its not the ultimate dream of a girl because my priority now is to travel and set aside marriage as possible.;-0 God bless and have a nice day.;-0

i hope this is not true ,for a woman she is also play an important part in society.some woman is top dog,they are really something ,

Well, I think in the past it used to be a lot more. Girls were prepared to become mothers, and wives, now they are preparing to be just about anything. There's a lot more opportunity for them and I don't think that they are quite nearly as intrigued in it as they used to be, but it is still a big dream for many of them to have very fancy weddings and fall in love.

I highly doubt that. Now days, us girls want so much more. Sure, there are some who want to get married, have kids and so on. I wouldn't mind being a money grabbing housewife, but what if there is no money to grab? I think more and more girls want to go out and be successful and not depend on a husband.

I don't think it is the ultimate in the modern world. however, there are still fractions of people who think so. This, perhaps, is due to cultural connotations and practices and views of a "complete" woman.

It is a hard fact for both man and woman ultimate motive is to get well adjusted in life for which marriage is must. Now there is much awareness in the society that young girls are first after the carrier making to stand on their own feet and then think of making a marriage and family. It is a healthy practice and this practice can uplift the status of woman in the society.

No dear..I think it is not true...those days have passed, when as soon as a girl reached a certain age , she was married , some timesw to unknown persons..had children within one year..and ....so on.. Now , every thing has changed..She is more focused on her career , and after reaching a goal , then thinks of marrying..

Getting married is not my ultimate dream. My ultimate dream is to have my own house, car and be successful in my own special way... And giving my daughter a happy life is the greatest achievement that i would have...

I agree with you defending your opinion with your friend,I too am not satisfied with the line that a womens ultimate goal is to get married because just a what you have said a lotof women nowadays focus on their own achievement and also women can be very happy in life even if they are not married as well as working just for yhe money,maybe it is really a practical idea but you would not be happy in life with cash alone you must have something beside than working for cash to become a corporate android,hope that your satisfied with my response.Have a mice day.

I think it depends on the person. IF she wants to she can and she doesnt she probably take upon a different attitude about it definitley.
