The topic of marriage popped up during lunch with a friend a few weeks back. Out of nowhere we were discussing this issue. She says now she wants to date man who has the potentials of being her future husband. Good plan babe.

What is the right age to get married? I know most girls who have graduated from university and started their working life will say that it’s high time for marriage. Is this true? Do you all agree on this?

I went around asking a couple of my friends for their opinion. Most said 25-26 is the right age for a woman as this is when they are really fertile. Baby factory ey? As for a man it would be at the age of 27-28. Man need to be older as they are the ones who will be providing for their respective wife and perhaps family.

I am really sorry but I don’t believe in all this. I won’t be pressured to get married at the age of 25. I’d be 25 next year for goodness sake. Who am I to marry then? I won’t just start dating to fulfill the social pressure. I want to be in love, to be able to trust and lean on the man I will be marrying.

Marriage is just no joke to me. It’s life changing. It’s life altering. Marriage comes with great responsibilities as well. Learning to live with another person. Seeing your partner in a different eye. Exploring life together. Exposing quirky habits and weird antiques. Hehe.

I have a list of dreams that I wish to accomplish before I settle down. It’s not that I am so into achievements and what nots. It’s just for my own satisfaction. Truth to be told, I would actually get married at this present moment if the man of my dreams or the man that I love who loves me equally as much were to propose to me this instance. But he would have to let me still continue to achieve my goals. It would be awesome if this were to actually happen, you’d have the man of your dreams supporting you in achieving and fulfilling your dreams. You could do the same for him as well.

If a man and a woman really love one another, they would accept each other’s difference positively and love them for who they are. Remember, opposites attracts. If you and I were to be the same, life would be completely dull.

So tell me, what is your thoughts on marriage? How old? When? How do you know it is the right time?
