If you dont think it will, you are wrong, thats not to say that you wont eventually get there.  Its just that once you get married, you now have to support someone else, you have to give them your time, you have to show them that they are #1 in your life.  Finances are the biggest problem for most in this situation.  Most have to work and go to school and there isnt really time to do both and give your spouse they time they need, want, and deserve.

I think because marriage is the ultimate committment (or its supposed to be!). You're pledging to love and stand by your significant other for the rest of your life...its a big deal and it is something women have been trained to want and dream about!\nPersonally, I have no idea when I'm going to head down the aisle, as I'm currently single. I'm in no rush though, there are so many things that will be harder to do while in a committed relationship!

no, it's not bad as long as you are responsible and pay your bills and your parents don't have a problem...If you haven't already finished college I would definately take advantage of that before you get married you want to be financially set before you start a family.

I dont think being engaged is a bad thing, especially if you love each other, definately wait awhile after graduating before you get married though. College is good because you see how you each live, and can work through any problems early on.

NO! marriage is a special thing a man and woman do together because of love and deep devotion, not something a money-hungry person does!

If you are concerned about the legal benefis when you marry someone then you should probably not get married. Marriage is about love, not material things you'll receive.

Love helps a LOT in one's studies. I am much more successful in professional school than I was in undergraduate and graduate school, before I was married. The love and support help me more than anything to keep going. I went from a 3.78 to a 4.0. It might not seem like that much, but it is for me.

My advice would be to get your MBA before you join the work force.  I received mine directly after getting my bachelors.  It was very easy, and has already paid for itself.  \n\nPeople who wait and get it while they are working have a difficult time.  I know a lot of people who are doing this, and they are having a tough time with it.  \n\nI'm so thankful to have gotten it out of the way.

I am actually one of those girls that has been engaged for years (2 to be exact). We got engaged before I finished my undergrad degree and decide to wait until I finished my masters. Anyway, it seems to me that just as long as you and your boyfriend have similar life goals, marriage may not need to be rushed into. Maybe you should wait until after you are done with school. Then you will have more money and time to plan your wedding. At the risk of scaring him away, I think that you should at least sit down and have a serious conversation about where you both see each other in the next 5 years. Having a frank conversation about your goals will help you to determine whether he is genuine when he says that you are the one, or if this is simply a ploy he uses to avoid confrontation or a possible break up. Remember that a marriage is life long commitment. It isn't something you should try to squeeze between school semesters out of convenience.

I would not advise getting married. You are too young to be debating marriage. Don't rush into marriage. Marriage is more than "I Love You".

Why do you want to marry this person?  If you're planning on marrying so some man will support you, he's obviously not dependable for that.  If you are ambitious on your own you will move to where you can find work or get training to find work, and then you probably won't appreciate him trying to mooch off of you.  \n\nSomeone who is 34 and educated or trained and trying to live off someone else is way too immature to get married.  He may be a charming and loving boyfriend but someone who acts like an adolescent at 34 will make for a totally miserable marriage.  You've got a major problem on your hands.

no one can answer this question but you...and your boyfriend.  Dont be in a rush...get married for the right reasons. Education is far more important than marriage....in my opinion. get your education then get married.

If that is your on the picture, then no.\nNo, seriously why do you want to get married? You're ONLY 30 and you have at least 5-7 years to think about it and find a right woman for you.\nBesides, if you keep looking anxiously for Ms. Right, the chances are that you may not find what you looking for in the end. Enjoy your life, go out, travel, be happy with your life and love will find you when you're least expect it.

My Dad told me when I was in high school to wait until you're 30 to get married. So I thought about it and studied hard in school. Enjoyed myself and dated a lot. Most the guys when they found out I was going to wait until I was 30 to get married, took off to find someone who was ready. \n\nA lot of my friends got married right out of high school. I went to college. Four years later many of them were getting divorced and many had kids they were fighting for in the divorce. \n\nI went to graduate school. Two years later many were on their second or third divorce and more kids. My Dad says when you getting married? Dad, I'm going for my doctorate. OK. \n\nI graduated and he says when you getting married? Dad you told me to wait until I was 30! You never listen to anything I said before why this time? It sounded like good advice.\n\nWell I didn't wait until I was 30, I was 29. The man I married was stable and had an established career. We have a beautiful home, two good careers and three beautiful children. All worth waiting for.I was old enough to know what I wanted, to have accomplished things and stable enough to handle my emotions. Best of all I don't have a lot of baggage to have to carry around for the next.\n\nWhat do you want? The important thing is not to get in a hurry!

Yes you will marry because your are desperate enough to ask about it to total strangers. Yes you will because getting married is the most important thought in your mind right now. If you live in a place where marriage is arranged by family, that might very well happen to you. Try to avoid it by being as atonomous as possible.\n\nInitials? well lets see. TRP. \nYou're almost 25 now. Well look at that my birthsay in July 20! Don't rush. Finding someone stable is not easy. Men are usually slower to commit.

If you do have your higher education already - MBA wouldn't take that much time. If you don't however, it would be a better choice to take your time on this and really study to be a knowledge entrepreneur. I admire you - only people with courage and talent could choose entrepreneurship as their career. It's very brave
