Getting married is something I have always imagined for myself, but I suppose if it doesn't happen, it wasn't meant to be. I'd rather not marry at all than marry the wrong person.

Looks to me like we all have different hopes and dreams about the marriage and I wish each of you the best of luck on it. whee

I'd like to get married someday, but I really don't see it in my future. Sadly, I feel like I'm out of time even though I'm only 21. xp I have a boyfriend, but things aren't going well at all and I'm not going to get stuck with someone I don't care about lol.

ping05 I'd like to get married someday, but I really don't see it in my future. Sadly, I feel like I'm out of time even though I'm only 21. xp I have a boyfriend, but things aren't going well at all and I'm not going to get stuck with someone I don't care about lol. No worries Ping. I felt similarly to you when I was 22ish- I had been engaged and my ex broke it off completely. I felt like I had wasted the best days of my youth xp Truth be told you're never "too old". I think perfection takes time. You also do not realize how much of your youth you need for yourself until you realize just how young everyone is getting married. I'm 25 now, and I cannot fathom having not had all this me time to discover who I am. What really encouraged me at the time when I was feeling so hopeless on the issue was a hand out at a church social event. It was a letter that was written from the point of view of god (the timing was way too eerie, I got this like a week after the broken engagement). The letter talked about how we yearn for that perfect love. The letter continued on that first we must perfect our love in god, and that when the time was right god would show us that person he's been saving for us. Whether or not you believe in god I think the point made is a good one. First you must grow in your love of others on a non-romantic side. Marriage is a union between two people who are ready to take on the world together. Sometimes your partner is not going to be the strong one, and you must be ready to pick up that extra challenge. Consider this time your time to blossom, to grow stronger. That way, when the time is right, you'll be ready to conquer the world and stand beside the one you love as their equal and their protector. Best wishes Ping!

Best wishes Ping! Oh wow... You know, you're right though. My problem is, I think I'm being pressured too much. My mom is always on me about getting a boyfriend, so I think I should have one. I am a Christian and I do believe in God. I've been trying to work on being a better one, but I haven't been doing too well. Now that you told me all of that, I think I'm going to work harder at it. I have other plans too, like going to grad school. So, you're right. I need to work on me first and I do trust that God will show me when the time is right. =D Thank you bunches!

I can think of little worse than being married to the WRONG person, but yes, I'd like to be married someday, if I find the right guy. The home home, family, kids thing.

Been married for four years. I used to think marriage was all about compromising your whole life away, but it's actually been much better than I ever thought it would be. Can't stress the importance of talking about all the big issues beforehand: finances, children, religion, etc.
And girls, men don't change, so make sure you are okay with all his bad habits.
Guys, girls always change, so make sure that you know how to handle those mood swings. LOL~
