Question Want to be married by the age of 30?

Is there anyone out there that wants to be married by the age of 30... i mean people who are 25 - 29 years old. Who wants to tie the knot by the time you are the big 3-0?

For example, you are still the only single person out of all your friends.

Nope. No one.

And LOL @ the "for example"

Setting a goal that I cannot achieve by myself and tying it to an arbitrary number as well as basing my life on that of my friends is a depressing way to go through life.

I'm 26 and far from being the only single person of all my friends. Yes, there are alot of peeps in my friend group getting married (in the 25-30 range,) but there are still more of us who are single than married.

You need to do things in your own time frame. Yes, you might be the only single person of all you friends, but you can't very well force it and run out and marry the next guy you date, just to meet your goal.

Setting arbirary goals and basing them on the lives of others is really dumb and you're going to be unhappy as long as you do that.

If so, we're looking for people desperate to tie the knot by the Big 3-0! Just send your name, email address, telephone number and town, and why you absolutely must be married by your 30th birthday! Join our new reality show!

That's where my brain went when I saw how the question was phrased.

This is a funny but interesting forum to read... I am not in the 26-29 range but I do want to be married by the time I am 30. I have many brothers and sisters who are in the range who are not married or dating anyone but there are a few who are married. I personally want to be married by 30 because I want to settle and have a serious life. I think it is impossible to have a serious relationship as an undergrad and if it happens I will be so happy! but until then my goal is to hopefully meet someone between now and finishing my master's degree and get married before i turn 30. =]

Raise your hand if you'd marry some random person off the street the day before your 30th birthday just to be able to say you got married before you were 30.

*crickets*

It's not like you FAIL AT LIFE if you haven't gotten married by a certain age or haven't had a baby by a certain age or haven't bought a house by a certain age. If you're closing in on 30 and you haven't met the right person, there is no need to marry some loser just to put a check mark next to the "got married by 30" line item in the life script. Plenty of people get married after 30, and plenty of people never marry at all.

It's your life. Do what's right for YOU.
