When did you start thinking seriously about marriage?

When we were young, the thoughts of marriage never seem to occur. As long as everyone is happy, dates are good enough. As time goes by, we mature in our thoughts and begin to think about settling down.
When did you first begin to feel this way? Was it some situations or parental pressure, etc that makes you to start thinking of marriage for the better?

Hi hub.
I am still not thinking about marriage and am not really planning on thinking about it. I do not really want to get married in the recent future. It is at least not for 10 more years. After that, I do not know. People change, their thinking change. I will let you know as I change my mind.

Good for you if you already know what you wanted in life. Yes, sometimes our plans are compromised due to circumstances. I am sure you will know what to do or how to act when such arises.

hi,I was seriously thought about marriage at the age of 26,because i got job at the age of 24 and well settled as a single.As i grow in the society of elders only fix the marriages[no dating] which are safe and secure in all situations.I am feeling difficult to lead life eventhough settled well.Then i thought about marriage seriously and got married on 27th April 1990 at the age of 27 years.

Good for you. I got married to the woman of my life at the age of twenty five. We are still together today because of love and destiny. Yes, there are always ups and downs but we are always together going through.

Hi there, Creationhub! In my case, the idea of getting married only crossed my mind at the age of 24. I know that was still a very young age for some people.:) And in fact, I was the first to get married among my close friends. I have to admit that I'm not that ready to tie the knot at that time. I & my husband both have jobs but we really cannot say that we are financially, emotionally... and spiritually ready. You might be wondering why I included spiritual readiness.:) Just to give you an idea, I and my husband don't share the same religion. We were on a long-term relationship (nearly a decade on our wedding day) and we don't talk seriously about marriage because we know that we're gonna have a big problem-- as to who will give up his/her religion for the sake of "love & marriage". After 9 years of being a couple, my husband finally made up his mind that he'll give way for me. He was 27 and I was 24 at that time. I took that as a sign for us to finally settle down. Parental pressure was also a factor, but it was only coming from his parents. Since my husband is the eldest and the only son as well, they found it appropriate for him to get married at his age. So there, we tied the knot and we're now happily married! :)
