Does he fit the criteria that Bluesummer pointed out? You know? Successful and independent?

So really, this has less to with age as it does maturity and financial independence.

In other words, don't get married until either it's practical, or there's nothing else left to do.

Sounds great...

Dude, you so know **** nothing!


ROFL

LoL, seriously. You people are making it sound like marriage is for the rich who are bored. Why does that seem wrong to me?

[vashti]

Because you are too young to know any better. One of the biggest reasons for divorce is financial troubles. Another big one is immaturity. That is why waiting until you know how to deal with money and you are a honest-to-goodness grown-up is a good idea.

That is insulting to some people. Having troubles financially does not mean that you have problems knowing how to deal with money. You could make little money but save well and control your spending well. Just saying on the side. Also, everyone matures differently and what maturity is in general is a debatable definition.

So don't listen to me... go ahead and get married. I'm just saying that statistically speaking, you are screwed. Of course there are exceptions. The only problem is that everyone thinks they ARE the exception.

No thanks, no marriage for me...but I always try and figure out why some people give the advice they do. I don't doubt the statistics that are given, I think the reason for the divorce rates maybe a mixture of many things...first of all young people still want to explore maybe other possibilities later and they rush things to early. I for one see many reasons, but I do think it is unfair to call people immature just because they are a certain age. I have been called immature before simply because my opinion was different then that of the older individual.

[vashti]

Not everyone your age is immature, but a lot of people your age are, quite often just from lack of experience.

Yep!

he sure does

What if marriage is your goal.

Then you need some new freakin goals.

I get so irritated by people on manic marriage hunts. It's so 1950. It also shows lack of personality. Go get an education, travel, try new stuff. Jesus.

Well said, I agree! There's so much more to life!

[Junket]

Well that's incredibly judgmental of both of you.

A statement like that only suggests that your ideals are best fit to everyone.

Now tell me that isn't irrational?

I seem to sense that marriage to alot of you is the end of life, something one does once they've finished and have nothing more to do but settle down. Marriage, like most things in life, is what you make it.

But to assume it's the same for everybody is incredibly narrow minded.
