Should I Get Married?

Question

I am 23 years old male. I am doing a job in an advertising company. Currently I do not have much cash with me. I have made investments. I do not own a car and live in a house on rental. Should I get married or should I wait?

P.S I dont want to have any kind of sexual relationship before marriage.

Answer 1

Some people do get married for the primary reason to have sex. But most marry when they can take on a wife and desire children. You have to support, protect and defend a wife. Granted, she could also work to make ends meet when needed. But you should not marry only for the sake of sex; there are many other factors to consider.
-Mutual respect
-Compatibility and communication
-Companionship
-Mutual goals
-Finances
These are just a few. Good luck.

Answer 2

You should first meet someone you love and want to marry and then consider these practical issues. There's nothing wrong with renting, married couples can live in rented homes.

You don't have much cash but you've made investments.. sounds like you're doing quite well financially. You are investing instead of spending. Good move.

Nobody can say that 23 is too young. Based on what? I was 23 and even though I didn't have your moral convictions I always considered marriage a lifelong committment. I"m 45 and still married (to my first wife) :o)

You sound like a smart guy. Meet the right woman and then ask the financial questions to see if you can make it work. The reality is that it will depend no how badly you want to marry each other. If you really want it, you'll make it work.

Answer 3

Only you can answer this question. You say that you don't want any kind of sexual relationship before marriage and I commend you for that. However, do not rush into marriage because of that. Marriage is a huge commitment. You didn't mention whether or not you are even seeing someone. Do not get married just for the sexual relationship. Wait until you feel like you've found that one person who makes you feel like no one else has. That special girl who you can't see yourself without. Best of luck!

Answer 4

You should first concentrate on the finances and get a little more stable. Sound as if you almost got it tho. I give you a big S A L U T E to the waiting on marriage thing. Good luck and I see a bright future for you.

Answer 5

If I understand you correctly, you want to know if you should have more money, a car, and a house before you get married. Is that right? the answer is "no" it's not required. The most important things to have in place before you get married is; the right girl, a solid relationship with her, and an unwavering commitment to each other.

Answer 6

Marriage has no age limit.. But if you're online asking other people if you should be getting marry, then no you should not because you're not mentally ready. Don't rush into marriage. Don't use marriage as an excuse to get laid either. Wait until you're mentally ready and financially stable before you propose to your girl.

Answer 7

Sweetheart what's the big rush? Your life isn't developed to be able to offer a woman marriage.....
So at this point there shouldn't be any question that you need to ask or neither I need to answer...... Financially set you up and get you together before you considering marrying anybody!

Answer 8

If there is a question in your mind then there is doubt. I would suggest waiting. You're only 23. If having a sexual relationship is the deciding factor, I'd re-evaluate my priorities.

Answer 9

You and your girlfriend need to discuss this issue. We can't decide for you.

You'd have to discuss finances, and how things will be tight for a while since you don't have a large cash flow yet. You BOTH need to understand how you will have to live and agree upon things before you decide to get married. It ought to be a mutual decision, based on your lives and situations right now.

take care

Answer 10

you should get married when you feel ready. you sound like your heart is in the right place (ex. no sexual relations thing) but maybe financially you're not in the best of spots yet. just be patient and make sure you are completely ready. when you get married not only do you have you're own financial debts, you also have your spouses. good luck to you :)
