I found many women and men do not get married for carrer reason. Sometimes I can accept that situation. I think it is not normal situation. I do not know what they want in their life. Any opinion about this?

Some people do hold off on marriage for careers. But I find here that couples hold off on having kids nowdays. IT's so common for people to not have a family until they are in their mid 30's or later. Wich in a way has it's benefits of more mature and established parents. On the otherhand having kids so late is not always the best when you are older as one could have high risk pregnancy. And no one wants to say that their parents are the ones who are elderly by the time they finish school and have to pep to enjoy Grandkids ect.

I do see some of them were 30 - 50 years old. Sometimes I think they found difficulties to get the best couples for future. So the reasons maybe not for carreer only. There are many reasons to them.

Some people are too afraid of dealing with their own emotions so they use their career as an excuse to not pursue a relationship as serious as marriage, you see. I personally don't accept them and think that they should seek help. God forbid they miss the most important thing in life...

What a waste of a great opportunity for happiness. I was a workaholic for many years and all that was on my mind was the job. I loved what I did but that didn't fill the void. I needed something more in my life. That was a good lady in my life. Eventually I took my head out of my work long enough to meet someone and we have now been married 27 years and have a 23 year old son. What I would have missed if I had continued the way I was going. Get your head out of your career long enough to see that you can have both and be much happier.

This could happen when both men and women alike are married to the job. I also think this might be a very worrying trend..

well according for some, the people who are gifted into having a beautiful career ended up as being failure when it comes to love and vice versa. i think it's true because when we priorities something for so much we tend to forget the rest.

Hi pormadi I would also choose career over marriage. I had a bad experience with men back in high school and its kinda hard to forget that experience. It causes me to have fear in entering a relationship. Aside from that, I have also seen some couples who are having trouble keeping their relationship last longer while the singles are enjoying their lives being a single with a successful career and no worries. I would rather choose to be a single with a successful career rather than being with someone who will eventually make you cry.

In some way,I think it's acceptable. Marriage is one of the most important things we pursue in our life.So we all have to consider many factors which could influence future development.For example,if the 2 people are all busy working with full schedule and even little time to relax,then what about when they get married and have kids,maybe no one want to quit the job or change a less-schedule one.
