Is it so wrong for a women not to want to get married?

No, this is just what society expects of all women to get married and have children. So if you are not ready then don't do it, and stop being so concerned with what others think of your choices. They are not taking care of you, so who cares what they think. God bless****

No I think it is an archaic tradition of backward People desiring to remain so. I believe marriage is something that should be decided between to people that have enough love to get them through. Marriage is tough enough in the busy world we are in today. A man & a women need to be like minded for this decision.\nIt takes a very high level of commitment, and trust to give it ago.

I think that you should over think this! You shouldn't get married to someone that you are not in love with. Liking someone and loving someone is completely different. Once you marry them that should be it. You shouldn't go into marriage counting on the divorce card as a back door. You really have to stick together through good and bad, sickness and health, richer or poorer and it should be forever 'til death do you part. People that go into marriage half-hearted are the ones raising the divorce rate. If you feel this way, you should talk to him about it. If you know that he's going to propose and you go and date someone else...that's a sure way of knowing you are not ready to settle down with him. You should be truthful to him and yourself. At the same time, you should marry someone that you can be yourself with. Best wishes.

Marriage isn't for everyone.  If you know that about yourself then you are ahead of the game.  A lot of people never figure it out and spend years destroying other peoples lives.

I am not married, but I wouldn't stay married out of convenience. Instead, I would try to make the marriage work. I would try to identify exactly which of my needs (and my partner's needs) are not being met and how to fix them. I take marriage vows extremely seriously. I would never tell someone I would be with them until death do us part, for better or worse, unless I truly meant it.

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.

I personally think that anyone who wants to get married should!  To me, the what happens behind closed doors should remain behind closed doors and I do not think that any judicial system should have the right to say if it is wrong or right!

i'm 23, we are still so young, and i think if you don't know for sure, then it's a definite no. i'm finally discovering things about myself and absolutely know that i can't marry right now because that scares me too. \n\nwhen you are ready, getting married and being tied down to a family shouldn't make you sick to your stomach; it should make you excited and happy. so it's not right for now. listen to your gut.\n\ngod bless

People should live their lives in a manner that they are comfortable with.  If someone chooses not to be married, that's fine.  Better to be alone than wish you were!

well, i agree with you totally.... you should not get married just because you have a child with someone..... a child doesn't make you love another person.... the relationship will only become worst in time... do what's best for you first.... i feel like to be a mother and a wife you should always love yourself first.... take the time out to see if marriage is what you both want.... maybe he already wanted to marry you but now he feels like it's more of a reason.... good luck and congratulations on the baby....

I'm not married yet, but my take on marriage is that it's the most sacred promise you can make to someone. People just don't honor it the way they should.

PEOPLE GET MARREID FOR DEFFERENT REASON'S SOME IS MONEY MINES WAS LOVE. I WANTED A FAMILY BUT I DID NOT WANT TO BE SOMEBODY'S BABY'MAMA SO I GOT MARRIED AT THE TIME I DID NOT WANT ANY KIDS BUT THEY CAME OUT OF THE MARRIAGE. I ALSO DID NOT WANT TO LIVE IN SIN I ALREADY GOT A HISTORY OF SIN I DID NOT WANT THAT TO BE ONE OF THEM. BUT ALL IN ALL MARRIAGE IS ACCEPTING THE THINGS THAT SOME ONE CAN NOT CHANGE AND IF YOU CAN LOVE THE PERSON FOR WHO THEY ARE INSIDE THEN GO FOR IT.

That's no reason to NOT get married but I can see why she is afraid of sex.  She should seek counseling with her fiance and soon to be husband before getting married. Perhaps she will discover that now isn't the right time to get married and on the other side, she could discover that she loves her fiance enough to no longer be scared...

What about your friends?  Perhaps one of your lady friends is also ready to settle down and have a family but for whatever reason would like to skip the dating etc.... I recommend you talk to them.  It would be better to be married to a friend than a stranger.  Good luck.

Certainly... women are more aware of the freedom that they can get and they are not ready to compromise for anything now.. thus they are independant and dont think that in order to get accepted in the society,you need to get married..

No, I wouldn't want to stay married because I feel trapped in marriage. I felt like I just, "settled" with my husband out of fear of being alone. I think he did the same, but is too proud to admit it. We aren't each others soul mate because we have NOTHING in common and do not have the same expectations in life. We simply got comfortable with each other and left it that way.
