Why Women Marry Late
Where and how does marriage fit in with our end goals?
"Vie Commence À 30″
Dans la populaire série HBO « Sex and the City », les personnages principaux étaient entre la trentaine et le début de la quarantaine, tous célibataires et faisant de la vie du pilote solo la chose la plus en vogue à côté de la couleur noire. Cependant, à la fin de la série, les idéaux du mariage et du partenariat ont refait surface, Carrie Bradshaw obtenant enfin le mariage de conte de fées qu'elle désirait au plus profond d'elle-même depuis le début. Ce qui nous amène à la question : après tout le « You go girl ! attitude, où et comment le mariage s'inscrit-il dans nos objectifs finaux ?
Les femmes entrent dans une nouvelle ère et la définition de ce que signifie être une femme évolue constamment. L'éducation et la carrière sont des priorités absolues pour de nombreuses femmes modernes, et beaucoup se sentent trop « occupées » ou préoccupées par leurs objectifs de vie pour fonder une famille. Et pourquoi pas? De nombreuses femmes estiment que vivre une vie pleine de voyages, d’aventures et d’avancement professionnel est plus épanouissant et amusant – et moins stressant – qu’un mode de vie traditionnel.

People are different. Others are still successful even if they got married early and others are miserable. It depends.

Another thing about marriage being delayed is because the sanctity of marriage is gone. Everyone is cheating, everyone is playing, no one is taking relationships seriously anymore. If boyfriend and girlfriend relationships aren’t taken seriously, what makes us think that marriage will be taken seriously? Personally, I don’t think I’m going to get married until I really meet a person that is willing to sail wild waters with me. So far, my perception of relationships isn’t very great.

A lot of my college friends got married as soon as they graduated. I don’t know what the rush was for, but I guess they really wanted to get married asap.
Anne Rios
Not to be bitter about relationships but I’ve experienced so many bad things in a relationship and I feel like no matter how old I am, I will never be ready with marriage.

It’s not just you, girl. I feel the same.

Men are the worst in my generation and I don’t even believe that there are decent guys out there anymore. Such a tragedy.

We exist baby..

I remember my grandmother telling me to get married asap because I’m getting old. People, I’m only 25.?

I’m a single mother right now and I’m 29. I love my daughter a lot and I wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s 9 years old now. If I was to give an advice to anyone about marriage or having kids, make sure that you do it at a time wherein you’re mature enough and in the right state of mind. Marrying young or getting pregnant at an early age can cause a lot of problems, not only in your body but also your future. I know that people will argue that age is just a number but no, it has something to do with maturity as well.

Wow 50% custodial moms and raising their kids solo. Guys, what are you doing???

Statistics on women getting married late has increased. I’m not even surprised. Women want to be single now and it empowers them.?

Life is harder now and money is needed everywhere. You can’t just get married and have babies when you don’t have a stable job. Of all the things that are listed here, I’m voting for stability.

Same, being in your mid 20’s in my opinion is the time when you’re just a few years starting from your first job and what have you achieved at that time? Not so much, I bet.
