why the is being married so important?

Well the pressure , is a negative so i HIGHLY recommend to not jump in marriage just cause the peers or your own family says you need to get married, NO dont go by what THEY SAY , go by what YOU WANT , , if you listen to them you'll find yourself in a marriage that you dont want , but they like it ...and plus your 24 1/2 , pshhh , you shouldnt be thikning about that til 30 at least , me everyone looked at me strange when i said i want to get married at 35 ! , whats the harm in that ? im 22 so what? you dont see me , breaking my neck to get married in the next 4 years HECK NO , after what ive seen what marriage can do to some people. Just DO IT ON YOUR TIME , NOT THEIRS !

Hi there! I guess we are on the same boat...I am 25 and yes, I don't have plans for getting married this year or the coming year ahead. Why? because I don't see myself as someone whose willing to give up the freedom I have now and I am not fit for married life yet whether emotionally or financially. Getting married is something that we must really think upon and not just giving in to pressure. Who wants a broken family anyway? There are many husbands and wives who are separated because they are not really ready when they got married and I don't want to add my name to the list of divorce marriages. When I get married, I'll make sure I am 100% ready for that and besides I've waited 25 years all ready...surely I can still wait a bit longer for the right man.

we are the same i am going to be 24 soon this year. but yes time flies fast and when we reach that age especially around 25 you get a lot of questions when to start settling down. anyway i think it depends on the person when he / she want to get married. you can never force age to be the one to decide if you are ready.
