The pressure of marriage

Beijing, China
July 27, 2017 3:44am CST
Last night I was told by my parents to let me get married earlier when I got home ,I was 25 years old and I felt too young to get married, but in the concept of my parents, when a child becomes an adult, it's time to get married and have a baby. Now the young people think that when they get married, they will no longer be free and the pressure will be greater. so, more and more young people are afraid of getting married. Being asked to get married as soon as possible by their parents has become a Chinese national condition. what is your country's view of marriage? Do you think the sooner you get married, the better?

I think you should get married only when you love and know someone really good and even better to live with him a while to feel it together 24/7

Yes, so I think it's not the best time to get married. we should be responsible for our future life

@cancergirl Yes, but if it is important for you to have children, there is a limit to the age of a woman to succeed in becoming pregnant, and to being an adult parent for children is very difficult ...

Most young women in your country are being pressured. I hope your parents will not choose a husband for you. In my country, it is not like this way.

@cancergirl I think you are in a big city. Most young women are not traditional.

Parents think of future generation. They have experienced it. If you are married late, you will have problem in the future because you are already old but you still have small children. If you get married young enough, say, at the age of 27, then at the age of 50, your children are already adults. They can manage their life, so you will have no burden of taking care of them.

@cancergirl You can marry someone you love but do not wait for too long. That's what I mean.

Yes, the idea is right, but if you don't meet the right partner, you can't get married in a hurry, which is not responsible for your future

Some families here many pressure their children to get married while others don't. Whether you get married sooner or later doesn't matter. What matters most is to be happy in that marriage

@cancergirl Exactly. This is what I think. What is the use of a marriage which only makes you feel miserable

I also think, the happiness of life is the most important, if the marriage is not happy, it is better not to marry

@dollaboy I used to think so, if I can't meet the right partner, I may not get married either

@kingspride If the cultural background is different, it will be difficult to get along

Our marriage is based on the same cultural background, and if the cultural background is different parents will not agree

You should get married when you are ready and when you find the right person. Parents shouldn't tell you when to get married. While parents don't tell you when to get married here, they do encourage their children to marry with comments and hints
