For someone who just got out of grad school a year ago, is there anything wrong with not wanting to marry yet?

Not at all!!!! My goodness you are still young! It is a proven stat that majority of people are not mature to marry until like 25 or so!! The marriages usually don't last! I think you are smart for not waning to get married right yet!!! Establish yourself, learn who you are, and then you can think from there!

Absolutely not! There's nothing wrong with never wanting to be married. It's not something anyone HAS to do. Society as a whole, may make you feel as though that is what you should be doing, but it's far better to wait and mature enough to know it's what you want to do, because you've made an informed decision, than it is to jump into something you're not ready for, have a couple of kids and then bail on everyone! Unfortunately, that happens all to often!
Wait until you feel ready! You've got lots of time!

Nope, not at all. I have a lot of friends who are you age who are still single by choice. They don't have to worry about getting into a nasty divorce because they picked the wrong person to marry. Marriages these days just don't seem to stand up to the test of time. In fact, most marriages today have close to a 48% failure rate within a few years. It's better to wait and make sure that you really have the right person that you can see yourself staying with for the rest of your life. If you just go out and one day up and decide to get married it'll cost you a lot more than what it would have if you had waited it out. I.E. Emotional hurt, financial ruin/hurt, distrust of others, bitterness, regret, time that you wasted thinking you had mrs. right when in fact you had mrs. wrong. I'm glad I waited a little longer than some of my friends. I am 27 now, and have been married now for going on 5 years and I know that I have a strong marriage because we waited until we were sure we were ready for us both to get married. We have been together 3 years prior to that. Best of luck to you and I hope my advice has been of some use to you. - James

Nope, especially if you're not in a serious relationship! That feeling of being ready to get married should only come after that relationship. Worrying about being alone for the rest of your life and going on a dating craze in hopes to find someone who wants to marry, is actually one of the main causes of divorce. My advice? If you want a relationship, date casually and take it from there. If you don't want that, there's nothing wrong with staying single. Do what makes you happy.

while my son replaced into interior the militia, he and a chum, a woman, make a take care of one yet another that in the event that they weren't married with the help of 30 years of age, they could get married to a minimum of one yet another. i assume they thought that they could have the two been over the hill or something. My son is 30 years previous and has been residing together with his lady chum. Neither have been married until now, and neither have infants. They have been given engaged on Christmas. they are going to be married approximately 3 weeks after he turns 31! do no longer rush it. that's extra effective to get it real the 1st time, than to hurry and perchance go incorrect.

Not at all, why would you want to be tied down already? Have some fun and then decide to marry when youre ready. Theres no age that youre 'supposed' to be married at, so just go with the flow and when you meet the right woman you will know. Good luck.

Let me guess...you're not ready for the "big step" of getting married but you have no problem putting your private parts in someone else's...I bet alot more people would be "Ready" to be married if it was like it used to be.....virginity until marriage....ahhh the good old days......

no, no,no,no,no, ...........:) I am a 56 year old retired elem teacher and I love young people. Do not, I say do not get married until you feel completely secure in your decision. Divorce is hell, I know ! It will all happen in the right time and remember, women are programmed more to marry and be domesticated often , so they often push for it.

No, there is nothing wrong with that. You were committed for the last six years or so with your school to obtain your degree.. Nah, you just probably haven't found the right person yet anyway..
