Getting married

United States
March 12, 2007 3:53pm CST
I am 28 and I am not married yet but I want to. I feel that if I don't get married in my life that I will be commiting the greatest sin in my eyes. I want some feedback from married couples because I have mixed feelings on marriage. Some tell me that marriage changes many in negative ways and some say it was the best thing that they have done.

hi bigv4eva, being not married in your age doesnt mean you will not get married later unless you knew that you have the gift of singleness,hope you havent felt that way ever since... if not, then just relax and always make yourself attractive to guys not that you are going to flirt with them but be as who you are when you are mingling with them specially if u already like someone...like me, i am still single and i am already 32... but i am not afraid about it coz being single in my age doesnt mean nobody likes me but its just i also have some qualifications and preferences that i learned from my family, my friends married lives and i dont want to regret if i get married... though i am not yet married but i read some books and consulted some of my married friends that yes marriage is a very complicated situation of two person if they will not trust, learn to submit and hear one's idea and an open mind and heart to learn with each other since they are a different person the way they were raised but knitted together as one in the eyes of God... its up to you if you will follow what i said, to just relax and always make yourself presentable to all people you met...and one more thing always share a smile...coz sometimes love starts with a smile...

Why do you think it would be a sin? Some people just never find love and that's how it goes - but you still have time so don't worry! Some people find love in their 30s, 40s, or even later :) I am not married yet but from all the couples I know I think marriage is great and I'm excited for it. It only changes people negatively if they get married to someone they don't really love or they get married for the wrong reasons. As long as you are marrying someone that you can't live without, it should be nothing but a good experience.

I am also 30 and not married yet but from the way you are speaking i can sense you are a Christian and remember marriage is gift from God. So as you marry you fulfill the word of God. Don't be scarred, its a good thing but don't ever rush into it. Make sure you find some one who truly love you for who you are without condition. take care of yourself and stay blessed.Be my friend.
