who cares? who cares what people think. if you don't want to get married, don't. if you do, do. life gets simpler when you stop worrying about what other people expect you to do. friends and relatives can be trained to accept your strange lifestyle and everyone else... well, you don't need to care about ém.

if you want to get married, however, and you're wondering how old is too old to have never married, i'd say: about 10 min after you die. even dead, you still have 9 min; and there's probably someone desperate enough on TF to marry you (male/female/ladyboy/whateva).

Why put an age on a marriage? First of all, you have to have a good relationship, b4 you should even think about the marriage thing! No guarantees on a good marriage or a bad one either? Just like life, one day, it's great, the next day is a bummer! Age has nothing to do with anything, you can be alive feeling miserable, or dead feeling happy?

I was 27 when I married and I was way too young. Age is not the issue...maturity is, and I was not mature at all! I grew up very fast at 29 when my first daughter arrived. Kids are a definite wake up call. A long time later and I would be very careful before marrying again. Partly it's because I have a lot of kids and my first responsibility has to be to them. Partly it's because I am just not convinced that I can be a good husband. I tend to describe myself as a good friend but a lousy bf. I don't take any joy frrom this as I am well aware of the downsides to being alone.

I think the only thing that matters is the age u have children and thats what comes with marriage. Would u have the energy to chase ur kids around waking up every 3 hrs at night at the age of 40? I dont even think i can do it now at the age of 26 having very little responsibility at work that i do hehe..Will u get to see ur grandchildren? Will ur grandparents get to see ur children? That's why in most cases I think definately in your 30s is a good time to tie the knot..the 1st time anyway lol
Romantic people would say u just need to find "the one" and it doesnt matter if ur 19 or 49 u can make it work I doubt it cos often life makes u harsh and the older u get the less u believe in love..isnt that the case?

a lot of women would normally feel pressured of getting married [EVEN IF THEY DON'T ADMIT IT]... especially for those wanting to have kids. Naturally, if you're a woman, you wouldn't want to be near menopause as it makes the health risks higher during pregnancy.

as for me, i don't really mind if i don't have kids of my own, so i guess i've got a lot of time to be single...

I don't think I will ever get married at the rate i'm attracting girlfriends.

Not a very fast one

Don't worry about it. If it happens, it will happen. I was 28 1/2 years old when i married. But we lived together 2 years prior to our Marriage. Try before you buy. Which of course was my Idea. Look before you leap. I did that because I wanted to give mysef assurance that I wasn't making a mistake. Minimising the risk.Like everything else in life their are always risk involved. Anyway after25 years it went up the spout. Her decision. Another 10 years of seperation The Divorce came through 7th July last year.Emotionally I was devastated, cause I treated her like a Queen & always did the right thing. So no matter how well you guard yourself, you can come undone. The Best thing that came out of the Marriage was the 2 Beautiful children we created.A daughter & a Son. Both are Married Happily & have provided me with 5 gorgeous Grandchildren, whom I adore.
My advice for what it's worth is live in a De-facto relationship. You will find that it will create more trust in one another. I had a written document so what do you think? Did it help to develop more trust & to have a greater bond. Once bitten twice shy.Don't think I will go down that road again. But like the Thai's say "It's up to you" I always crack up when they say that. My comments are fairly long winded I know. But sometimes it is hard to give an short answer to a serious posts. One liners are fine if the post doesn't warrant it or maybe if you want to be a smart ass. Best of British Luck to you. Hope what I've written helps. I've been their done that. Take care

u know marriage is an anagram of an ear grim, a grim era,
