I'm in my 30's and not yet married. It's always become discussion to our family for not getting married in my age. I do answer them it's wonderful being single not worrying for anything. I can travel to place where I like as soon as i want too. I love the freedom. I prefer to be single to be myself, not to be like by your husband totally opposite of yourself. There's a lot married person out there but not happy at all.

Culture plays a big factor. We also have to take into consideration the biological clock of females. I heard that as women grow older the risks of having a baby increases, this is not a problem for those who had babies at an earlier age but for those who are about to have babies after they reach their thirties. Which means that mother nature really wants women to have babies early and not later in life . But apart from having babies, one of the most important things to consider in marrying is your capability to handle such kind of responsibility. The thought of having a baby may be bliss to every woman but there's a big difference between thinking of having one and actually having one. That's why you have to ask yourself and focus on your happiness and if you really want to get married and not because you're just pressured by the people around you. It's doesn't really mean that when you get married you'll be happy, a lot of cases are the opposite. So I suggest that you think twice, three times or even a thousand times and ask your self if you're really prepared to get married, if there's a slight hesitation then don't. Take it from a married person.

I'm in my 30's too and been single for almost 2 months now. I think, it is only now that I realized that it is fine to be single. Why will you get marry when it will cause you stress and headache after. I am happy being single.

There are a lot of married person who are happy as well. However the decision is completely yours. You shouldn't get married until you have a clear objective of doing so. I am still single myself. I haven't figured out a single strong reason that I should get married. I wrote this article http://beyondjane.com/relationships/friendship/how-to-choose-right-partner/ on how to choose the right partner. I got big applause from readers. They actually thanked me for writing this straight forward guide. But the very first step that I written in this article is an obstacle to my looking for a girlfriend. I just don't want to get married accidentally. I don't want to fall in love because I had nothing better to pass my time. I have always pursued well defined motives. I want to be clear about the intention before doing anything. I don't find any good reason in support of getting married. I am neither for nor against marriage. Right now I am just indifferent to it.

i wouldnt pay attention to the ramblings of those who speak against someone in their 30's and not married yet. i am not married yet, but i am proud not to be. i mean of course i hope to be united with a wife for me soon, yet i have patience. in the process i see many who get "married" but they usually dont last long. and even if they last long, one or both have been cheating in the relationship, making that relationship of no real effect. i would rather wait until i can find true love, than rush out to be with someone, and then it doesnt work out. love is all that matters to me. and even if i had to wait 50 years, and could only spend one day with the woman who pleases me, i know it will be well worth the wait, as long as her and i share true love.

True that being single is very good! Things are going really well with your life! But, common, you can't remain the same all your life! I mean, you need to understand something more! Just imagine yourself, having married to someone, having your own family, going out together for a family trip, becoming a parent, then bringing up your kids, playing with them, sending them to school, look at them grow in front of you and higher than you, then their marriage, their kids, thats your grandchildren, well, don't you think you will miss so many other things for one single thing which is freedom! Well, if you get married, you will have someone who is living only for you and life will be a lot better even if there are a few problems, which will go by soon! I think you need to consider what your family members are telling and get married soon or you will miss a great part of your life! Hope the wedding bells ring soon for you! Good luck! :) Cheers!

Probably it's more on the biological aspect of it. It's always assumed by many that people get married because they want to start a family. But for women, having a baby in their late age is risky. Doctors say there may be some adverse effects not only to the baby but also to the mother. So I guess it's not a matter of finding it odd that you're still not married. Your family might also be concerned.
