That happen to me, and what i feel this moment, most of my friends has married already, their ages seems like me "30". Sometimes people asking me whether i've been married or not ? and my answer is not yet. Am i feel shy ?
Nope, i'm not shy, coz there something that i've to do, get my future. i trying to be different, is that meaning, a native Indonesian like me usually have a simply life. They're buried their dreams just for something, you know "something" is. They're buried their dreams because a job. "Civil Servant" is the most popular profession in my country. They're proud if they have a civil servant status. I think is very dangerous.
I've ever ask to them once, what do you think about AFTA 2015, Free Trade, Global Trade, Are you ready to face it ? and most of their answer has shocked me. A various answer but in the point was they're not ready.
That's why i choose to not married yet before i get my future dreams, Indeed, that's my reason to expand my English. Prepare now or you got sorrow, remorse, regret. These are your choice.

Ok back to my topic, my question is that right
"When your age is 30, is that meaning you supposed to been married" Agree or disagree ? make your choice.

You are never 'supposed' to be married.
Marriage is a lifestyle choice.
And a choice you should make on different criteria apart from age..

I agree many people do get married around that age. It is probably the optimal age when taking in such factors as mortgages, children, job, etc.

But many also get divorced by the time they are 40/50...

Get married if, and when, you are ready..not by numbers.

I think the opinions of Indonesian locals will represent one extreme answer to this question and the Peter Pans(terminal adolescents)which infest the online Neverland represent the other.

Anyway, in my opinion 30 seems a reasonable age for a woman to be married if she plans to avoid reproductive failure and obtain any chance of long-term commitment from a man of reasonable value. The younger a woman marries the less settling she will have to do and the healthier her kids will be(ON AVERAGE). Men can probably leave it a little longer because of the enduring health of his balls and the fact that he will probably age better and his looks matter less anyway.

Times have changed. I don't think people are looked upon in a negative way if they aren't married early, as much as they used to be.

One should marry if/when they feel it's right.

I married at 20 & though it ended in divorce after 30 years, I have no regrets.

I think Lori is right, times have changed. "In my day" (hahah, I never thought I'd say that), if you weren't married by the age of 25, people wondered what was wrong with you...

Now I think it's more common for people to live together. Marriage is no longer necessary.

You keep doing what you're doing, you'll know when the time and person is right

Someones age shouldn't matter when they get married.I had some friends one time when I was in my 30's of why I wasn't married yet.I told them I wanted to wait until I was ready to get married.I didn't marry my late husband until I was 32 and we were married for 25 yrs up until 07.


I have heard of someones parents trying to push their adult children into getting married just so they can have grandchildren.
