Hello NLanders, Compliments of the season. I am a young man in my mid-thirties. I am a professional and a graduate student. I am getting bored by people (family and friends) asking me to get married. Almost all the folks I spoke with on Christmas day said the same to my ears. In the past, friends have invited me to visit them and I discovered they were trying to match-make me. I am looking to get married at some point in the future when I find someone I can live the rest of my life with. The truth is none of these folks will suffer the direct consequence if I get married to the wrong person. Initially, I planned a visit to my family early next year but I am thinking of postponing it till maybe end of 2020 and also reducing the frequency of communicating with folks. To the married folks, how did you cope with this? 1 Like |

Unfortunately, postponing your wedding till Jesus comes is not a license to a great marriage with a great person. You can wait till thy kingdom comes and still fail. Readiness is a thing of the mind. You're ready only when you're ready. 5 Likes |

Guy take your time and don't allow pressure push you to marriage in which you might probably get hooked up to the wrong person or where you can't even handle the financial baggages that comes with being married. Those pressuring you now won't be there to carry the baggages with you when it get much. 8 Likes |

eagleeye259: Have you ever wondered why some people are never satisfied with what they have? The reason is simply because human wants are insatiable. Ones you acknowledge the fact that you are 'better off' than some individuals that is when you'll learn to always appreciate the 'little' you have. 'Putting things in order' might actually take you eternity because the moment you are driving a Roll Royce then remember that someone is flying a private jet so you can as well keep pushing yourself to having a private jet too. 9 Likes |

Larryfest: Even if he takes the whole time in this world that won't still guarantee a successful marriage. Marriage is not about the time you take before marrying, it's always a function of grace, patience, attitude,tollerance and your willingness to make it work. 7 Likes |

If u are a lady, what will u do  They will remind her menopause is nearby or call her evening newspaper. People don't know that not everybody will marry very early. It's not how far but how well. If u have not find one who suits you like 45%, dont listen to anybody. Just stay away from such people. 7 Likes 1 Share |

eagleeye259: You are on a journey to nowhere if at this age your not interested in getting married. Mid 30's is 35 ish. Be willing to have a wife and not finding one is totally different from having no interest in marriage. At this age, you should be interested in marriage. Perhaps some issues here and there may make it difficult, but you must have an interest in marriage and be willing to get married once you meet a girl. If you have zero interest in marriage ... you are on a journey to nowhere! Even Don Jazzy is interested in marriage but claims he has not found his ideal config. 3 Likes |
