elmo answered Sunday October 26 2003, 6:36 am: because I'm 13 and have never had a serious boyfriend or met someone I'd like to marry.
Plus getting married is not everyone's goal in life and I'm completely sure that I ever want to get married.
So yea... [ elmo's advice column | Ask elmo A Question ]
MissNiceness answered Friday October 17 2003, 8:50 am: Well, I've never had a boyfriend where we were anywhere near being THAT serious.
I would love to get married one day, but in this day and age, I don't think that people view marriage as the necesity that it once was (like women didn't leave their parents house; until they got married). Dare I say that marriage is no longer that 'sacred' instituion in people's minds either.
A marriage consists of compromise and responsibility for another; notions that the present 'me' generation doesn't take to too well. This is probably why the divorce rate is so high.
If I were to get married anytime soon, the guy would have to be pretty darn stable financially, as I am poor, poor, poor and really wouldn't be able to contribute financially to the maintainance of a household.
downwithhydrogen answered Thursday October 16 2003, 10:01 pm: Well, for starters, this is just my first year of college. I'd like to get through at least my bachelor's degree before I get married.
For another thing, I've never had a boyfriend. This is a slight deterrent to getting married, though not in some cultures. However, I am perpetually single. It's a good life.
GeekGirl answered Thursday October 16 2003, 7:49 pm: Why is getting married such an inevitable?
Some people never get married. Some people aren't allowed to get married. Does that make them any less of a happy couple?
Marriage is a personal decision and a LEGAL contract between two people. It has nothing to do with love. Marriage carries with it a lot of financial responsibilities, as well. [ GeekGirl's advice column | Ask GeekGirl A Question ]
SparklyStar answered Tuesday October 14 2003, 7:58 pm: I think it has something to do with the fact that I'm 16. And I don't even have a boyfriend. And I have plans to go to college, get a good job, and then maybe get married. [ SparklyStar's advice column | Ask SparklyStar A Question ]
dolphinlover answered Tuesday October 14 2003, 8:54 am: I haven't found that special someone as of yet. Besides, right now I'm in college and my number one focus is getting an education. Once I have that, I'll be able to earn enough money to support a family. [ dolphinlover's advice column | Ask dolphinlover A Question ]
