I think she was just directly answering the question, as to what age she had hoped to be when she married.

I had hoped to at least have met somebody by now. And have married about 2 years later (I personally want a relationship to last 2 years before marriage occurs).

Eh, you can't rush the maturing process.

My mum, aunts and grandmothers all got married at 20-22, so as a girl I figured that was when I was going to marry as well.

At 23 I found that university research held a lot more attraction for me than marriage and kids and for the fourteen years since I've been living the happy bachelor life (though that does not necessarily mean a resolve to stay single everlastingly... )

I shouldn't giggle, but what does wanting your size to go up every year have to do with this?

I definitely didn't think I'd be approaching 28 and still very single.


Haha, yep. This. Not that I'd ever planned to get married, I figured it'd just ...kind of...happen? I was a confused kid, I think.

Trust me, I never thought I'd be 47 and never married, but I am thankful for all the *mistakes* that God has saved me from over the years - men who I thought would make me happy, only for it to be exposed that they are truly not what I need in my life for me to be able to reach all the goals and dreams God has laid out for me. So, I just continue on reaching for those dreams, and letting Him bring people into my path who He knows need to be there.

I'll be 41 this October and this is totally my story too. I wouldn't have had the life and marriage I wanted with them let alone reach the goals God has for me. I had no idea what that even was years ago.

With that said, I always wanted to get married between 30-33 so that I could have my first child at 35 (wanted to be married for a while first before I had children). Then by the time I reached 25 I realized I didn't want to have children but I still wanted to be married by 33. Here I am 40 going on 41 waiting on whoever God has for me.

Of course I wish I had known I would be single at 40 when I was in my late teens and early twenties. My life would be very different now.

Amen to that...

Katie-Scarlet,
Didnt know Id be single in my 30s...and I see what you mean about if you only knew you'd be single all this time, things would have been different...
Im starting to live as if Ill be single for a long time if not forever:) The result is a more productive and happier life...
When you're not "waiting" or dwelling on prince charming, you really live (just my personal opinion)....
Ive even stopped thinking, "could he be it?" when I meet people...the result of that is a genuine interest in that person as a human being...

Now, I do wonder if that will ever change, will I ever be interested in anyone romantically??? Has the marriage desire (and a little bit of lust:) been taken away from me permanently or wil it return someday???? I might as well be a rock right now (for the most part)...that neediness is gone:) I didnt even know I was needy...needy of validation:( especially of someone that is not interested...yuk! What was I thinking...

Before reality hit, and you were very very young, how old had you hoped you would be when you married?





For me it has never been at what age but when, when I find the right woman that I would want to marry. My greatest fear is being stuck with a woman in whom I was not compatible with, or who would drive me crazy. I have been told that their is no such thing as the perfect woman, and yet here I am the perfect man. God would not make one without the other, and He wouldn't make one without the other without bringing them together at the right time. Anyone who say to you that there is no such thing as the perfect man or woman, never waited to meet them. Also if there is no such thing as the perfect woman then why would I want to get married in the first place
