I can understand the 'dating world', but that's only a small fraction of life. Can't you experience, 99.9%, the rest of the world with your spouse? It's not as if marriage has to mean house payments and children. Just because I'm ready to get married, doesn't mean I'm ready to geographically commit ('settle down') nor does it mean I want children! It simply means I've found a partner and companion who I love and work well with. Agree or disagree?

i completely agree, even if you do start a family that doesn't mean all the fun in your life is over. i don't know why people equate marriage and family with prison sentence.

Agree whole-heartedly. You've got a great mindset honey. Marriage isn't the end of your life, it's a beginning to share with a partner. There is no reason why you can't experience life with someone by your side. Not only will it bring you closer together, but it keeps the marriage alive when you share those experiences.
I've been married 18 years and couldn't be happier. Personally, I think the people that say that, aren't exactly happily married people.

Well marriage is taking responsibility for each other, there should be flexibility amongst you for a wonderful life. Getting a good and understanding partner is really lucky. Only few people got the right partner in their life. You can also try one. all the best.

Well marriage is all about commitment, now I am married for 16 long years, otherwise you get lost and feel unwanted in the world. One has to share the sorrows and joy together, then it is real partnership, geographical committment may not not be problem, moving around we are left with little friends who are in touch.

I think it is personal. My friend got married young and she and her husband travelled the world together before settling down.
I travelled and explored on my own. I found the man I love late in life after I lost the need to discover. I did everything I felt I wanted to do and now I have the inner peace to settle
Every person is different

A lot of people say that you should experience the world first before getting married because you can't do everything you would want to do in your life when you're already married....Of course, when you get married, it's not all about "me" anymore...It's going to be "me and you" always! Like, if you want to do something else, you have to consult first your spouse out of respect....You would always think of your spouse too when deciding on something else...Unliike when you're single, you can do everything without having to consult first a partner...That's why they say that you have to do everything you want to do before getting married....(",)

I was 20 when I got married and engaged for five years before betting married, I wanted to travel he didn't everything I wanted to do he didn't, I should have traveled more, it's a wonderful thing if the two of you can see the sights together, you will have wonderful memories.

if your spouse agree with what you think,it would be great.but not all people think like you (we..lol) do.so,you got to talk first b4 you take the big step into marriage.that's what engagement and dating for i guess.pressure from family is a kind of problem too.you know,when people get married,their parents expect them to have kids real soon.the important thing is you and your partner.if you're ok then,everyone around you can't say anything.

People say this because they feel you can do more and go mroe places before you get married and to make sure this is really what you want. But you if you feel this is the right person and you've done the things you've wanted to then do for it, I agree.

If you and your partner are on the same page then I say you got the world at your feet. Kids don't have to kill the fun either, you have a whole different world to explore with them.
