Being a woman at her 30s above is not easy in my country. The non written culture rules us to get married early. The unmarried woman tends to be seen half-valued for unreasonable reason. It's funny because marriage seen as one of the successful thing in life to be reached. It's not gonna be the same for everyone. The time gonna be difference. As a moslem, I believed that marriage is sacred, we cannot take it for granted, there are so many things to be considered before tying the knot, rait? Why do we have to follow and to listen others to reach our own life our own happiness????

hehe in our country, right? The influence of the ancient people is still very strong, even though the women in the city don't really think about such things, because now women think more broadly than women in the past.

Heheh yeaaaa, see... our laughing style is the same. Exactly our country still too strong holding the root. Most women now are thinking broadly but for me who is not living in the city, its kinda hard to deal with

Things have changed a lot and will go on changing everywhere. In other generations, the man was the provider and the woman stayed at home.

@April90 I think this has already happened in western countries and it'll take little longer in our countries. Maybe our kids won't face this

You must try to always enjoy every time we have. We don't have enough strength to fight a tradition. So go with the flow while trying not to drown.
