You need to be married at least once!

When you marry, you marry for life, maybe some people think that's old fashioned, but marriage was never meant to be a fad. Marriage is a sacred union under God's eyes, and is not meant to be taken lightly. I know too many people having hardships after divorce, and trust me it's not something you want to go through, so if you want to marry, then make sure you get it right.

Marriage? Pfft, please. I'm a couple of years younger than you and marriage has never once crossed my mind - even getting into a romantic relationship is at the back of my thoughts. Marriage should not define if there is something wrong with a person. The only marriage I'll consider is a marriage to my career.

Pardon me for saying this, but this is a very stupid statement. I mean, why do you need to get married just to prove to other people that there is nothing wrong with you? Do you get to grow an extra pair of eyes or ears if you stay single? If you are happy being single or in a relationship then what other people say should not matter. I have heard of these kind of remarks from my family and I did not mind them. What's important is your own happiness. Gone are the days where you need to get married because if you don't you are a burden to your family because they have to pay for your upkeep.

First of all your only 23 years old so you still have plenty of time to worry about getting married. Secondly don't listen to anyone who told you that. I had people pushing me to get married when I was younger too, but I refused to be bullied into marrying just anyone just for the sake of being married. For me I knew that I would only being getting married once & that was it so I wanted it to be w/ someone I loved & wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. Just when my family & friends had all but given up any hope of me ever getting married I met my husband & 6 months after we met we were married. I was 34 years old when I married my husband & no I don't have any regrets in waiting as long as I did. I knew he was the right one for me & well worth the wait.

Hello Moneywinner, I think at 23 you must think of your carrer than marriage.I don't think that in today's world marriage is at all essential for a person.I know many people who did not marry in their lives but still are living happily.Though society really at least in my country see people one who don't marry with different eyes but then its not their life its our life and for our life we should decide what we have to do not they.If you wish to marry then you should marry there is no harm in it but you first be independent and then marry and if you don't want to marry then also its OK its nothing bad in it.

I guess I'll marry once, it's just that I don't know how much will that marriage last. I want to try it, being married and all that, but it's just that it would get boring for me, but who know, maybe one day I will find the right person for me and be happily married to that person. Anyway, I would advice you to wait for some more time, and then see if you find someone who really suits you and you think you could live your life with him..

Oh one of my favourite subjects, once upon a time I think that was the case, I used to say I wanted to get married to just remove the name "spinster" which is an ugly word..but these days is different it is ok for a woman to be "Independent" and in control of ones life, to me unless you are deeply in love with a soul mate and want children then sometimes it is better to be independent, I like being single and in a position to make any decision without considering anyone else...it can be a bit lonely at times but this happens even to married people and when I feel like this I go visit some married friends and I tell you I am usually so glad to get home because I just could not put up with what a lot of women I see have to put up with from there husbands, not much equality from what I see...you go girl, you get one life live it theway that makes you happy.

moneywinner..In my opinion no one should get married because they feel they "should" People have to want to be married because it is hard work to make it last..Trying it with the idea of getting out is not right....and I think it might be better to never marry than to experience the pain of divorce...

What a nonsense. And also: what is the difference between to be married and living together or having a steady realtionship? Acoording to me there is none. No matter how you call it, it's a commitment between 2 people. Also I think it's a bad idea to just get married because otherwise you are not accepted. I think that is pathetic and if you do so you are abusing someone for your own sake. Also 23 years is still young, you better plan your own life, travel, see things, meet different people so if you get married one day you have life experiences and great things to look back at.

I am an unmarried person. I think married life isn't bad and it bring an order to life. But one's real nature is important in taking the decision to marry. I cannot withstand the suffering of life, and I am not too interested in family bondage. I decided to live in freedom and absence of unwanted responsiblities. So try to understand your real nature and attitude to life and take a proper decision.

I don't believe in this sentence that you need to be married at least once. There are a lots of people in any part of the country who remarry many times. Excuse me for this words but this is the reality now a days. We could not blame the church nor the government because it involves personal commitments and decision in life. Our world today is full of possibilities and experiments in the makings.

Wow moneywinner, There are a lot more other things you should be thinking about at 23 other than this myth about everyone should be married at least once... Just think about it, does that make sense?...Marriage is not for everyone and thats a fact..Just like having children is not for everyone...There are people who have never desired to be married and is happy as hell...One of those people would be me..I have raised 2 children without a husband and they are both well rounded members to society... I was engaged three times in my life but I really wasn't ready so why go into a marriage not even feeling like you would give it your all....Thats a very crazy myth...I hope the person that told you that have a very good marriage and is super happy...

You are incharge of your life so, people can only give you advise which they think you should do, but at the end of it all. You will be the one to decide for yourself on what will you do in life. Not all advise can be applied on every person. This advise may work for some people, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it will work for you as well. For me I'm willing to wait until I find that girl that I will love, and spend the rest of my life with. I wish to get married once, to the girl that I believe that will not make me regret marrying her :)

I dont think that sentence is right .But marrying is essential and I will not support the idea of divorce whether it is after a short period or long period. Then it is better not to marry. Nobody is going to think that something is wrong with the unmarried person. There are so many famous politicians and industrialsits those who are not married. For eg: Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the Former Indian Prime Minister and the World famous Industrialist Ratan Tata of The Tata Group of industries. The marriage is an agreement between two people.After marriage we should love each other. Both these people are coming from different backgrounds and they should understand each other very well. It is good to think about the marriage at this age and my personal opinion is one male should get married atleast at the age of 25

You are right it seems like anytime someone is older and never has been married people start to think there is something wrong with them like they are homosexuals or something. I dont think this is fair at all. Some people just never want to be tied down like that or other issues. I was married and the marriage didnt work out. I never want to get married again. I think its perfectly fine if people dont get married. Who cares what other people think its your life you know.

You're 23 years old and I think still very young. I think the first thing in your life now should be your study and your career. Afterwards you will have better chances to marry. It sounds logic and simple, but may be it's not. I think marriage have to be for ever. I expect you have luck, meeting the right woman and don't worry so much about the time. Happy Holidays!
