When I was in grade school, I always dreamed of marrying the love of my life when I reach the age of 24 and pfft I guess, they don't always happen exactly the way you perceived them. I love my current boyfriend so much and for me, he is the one but marrying now is really not on my priority for I have to be stable enough first to provide for the family that I am going to build.
What about you? Have you dreamed of marrying at a certain age when you were young but you ended up not pursuing that goal? :D

When i started having a job in my younger days, i had a lot of suitors. Because i enjoyed their attention i didn't ever think , what age i will marry.
But not when i meet my husband at the age of 29 ! I felt that it was time for me to marry because i can't stand being away from him for even a day! Hence, we were married two years after.

Mine is a different story.
When I was a child I wanted to become a nun. However, when I had my two days search-in in a convent, I realized that I was not cut for that profession. I am perky and I love challenges and adventure.
Now, I am an HR Manager and with it I get to help people. Also, for my religious side, I teach children in our church during church services while their parents are attending the worship services.
This is nice discussion. Have a nice day!!!

Thanks for the compliment. I just did what I feel I should do. If I will not follow my heart, I'm sure I would feel unhappy.
Again, thanks.

Hey Snow!
Wow that was such an inspiration for you to become a nun, and to think you were a child when you wished for that. I am religious but I never imagined myself being one nor the nearness thought of it. That's great that you still get to give a lot of help to numerous people without having to sacrifice your wanted goal in life.
God bless you and have a nice day too!

Lol me too. I also set an age to get married when a was a kid. I said I am going to get married at the age of twenty five. But I don't think it will happen sooner, and it's also not my priority. I don't even think of getting married anymore, lol. 
I changed how I perceive life and future. From now on, I will not set a specific age for me to get married. I will wait for the right person, not the right time.

Right person, not the right time, that's a great way of perceiving the future and a more mature way of thinking for our own good. It's amazing how we change our perspectives as we get older but in positive way of course.
Have a great day mariahhh!

Yes and I ended up delaying it very so often! Now, I don't set an age to marry, all I need is that right time for it to happen... wonder when would that be...

I know exactly how you feel mylene and it's funny to recall how we think when we were young. We always have those beautiful perspectives, plans and views of how we end up when we get older, and this just doesn't relate to our love lives but to different aspects as well, like jobs, studies, friends, people. As we grow old, we hit the peak of maturity and our conceptions about life change along the way. Our understanding about the future is very different as to how we deal about it when we were ignorant and learning.
God bless to you!

That's right, adjustments should really be made from time to time. And we really could not tell what is in store for us, as there are alterations along the way.
Have a great day phoevy21!

Actually I have, now that I'm close and have other interesets than when I "dreamed" about it I think--- not "it can"... but IT MUST wait... now a day it's hard to take decissions for all live long so, I think first to live what we want, enjoy young, then marry with the one you tink is "the one"

Hey kev! I totally agree with what you said and it's best to settle for our own little lives first and true love can always wait!
Have a great day!

No I never had an age in mind on which I wanted to be married.
Although I always said I would get married and my marriage was an disaster.
Still, now 21 years later, I will get married again. A complete other marriage as the one I had before. Under different circumstances, living apart and no need to build a family (again).

Well yeah, if we have it as one of our goals in life, we cannot help but to incorporate it and compare it with the happy ending love stories we see on television and fairy tales, and that tends to disappoint us in the long run.
I hope your other marriage will be more on the brighter and lighter side now, kudos to you!
