I am 23 years old and am not near to the point of marriage. I have dated ...but not much at all...and never had a serious relationship. I feel way behind and feel like now it will never happen for me. Any ideas on how I should feel about this?

I'm 54 and have never been married, although I have had serious relationships. I'm pretty sure I'll never get married, but it may happen yet. I don't need a man to do things for me and I adopted 2 kids, so I have a family to care for that cares for me. I'm happy the way things are. as long as you're happy with yourself, it's enough. just take every day as it comes and make it the best day yet.

AGE IS LESS IMPORTANT THAN MATURITY LEVEL ------- I've met mature 25 year olds------- and immature, insensitive, self centered 65 year olds.
My experience as a shrink who also does marriage and family therapy is that the younger you get married (<25), the greater the risks of problems since both partners have yet to truly understand who and what they are and what really is best for them. <25 is a time of self discovery and knowing what one can truly contribute to another human being and society as a whole. Also, problem solving, conflict resolution and communication skills are typically not well developed in younger couples.
Finally, one important factor... the 1st year is most important... how you manage the relationship then will set the tone for the remainder of your marriage. If you fight poorly, love poorly, are not forgiving and sensitive, etc., etc., you will have created a hell for yourself on Earth!

When you meet the right guy you will know it. You will find some one and when you do all the waiting will totally be worth it. There is no right age or bad age to get married. When you are ready to settle down then you are ready. And by knowing that your marriage will more successful because of it. Live your life and have fun with it.

Your time would come when you are ready. You shouldn't rush things. A good age to get married is somewhere around 25-30. You will see someone will come along at the right time!

You will be ready when you are ready, there is no right time. I got married and then divorced at 21. I am 27 now and in a serious relationship and i am still not ready. Don't worry about it. When you are ready you will be more mature and prepared.

I feel that any age (above 18 of course) is and ideal age for marriage. But you shouldnt worry about it. it will happen when it happens. maybe you have met the right person and just dont know it. anyway, as long as you dont marry just because you think it is about time you had a husband. it should definitly be for love.

You can be as old as 65 to get married. :) It's all about when you find the right person and you feel marriage is the way to go!
