[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t get married to DH until I was 40. Most of my friends who got married in their early 20’s are divorce and on their 2nd marriage.

Life is not a race. Getting there first doesn’t mean he wins.

And lots of women I know with that attitude (and panic) about not being married yet, end up in horrible marriage or divorced. The goal isn’t to get married. The goal is to find happiness and fulfillment in your life. And when a guy comes along that adds to your happiness and fulfillment, you may ask him to join you on your journey...or you might not[/quote]

+1.  I didn't get married until I was 35.  When I was in my 20s/early 30s, I never expected to get married.  Never thought a compatible guy would find me attractive (a lot of losers did, what's that say about me?  :? ).  So, as the PP said, I focused on finding happiness and fulfillment in my life - and I did.  I would have preferred to have had a life partner but I took responsibility for my own happiness.

I've been happily (for the most part) married for 20 years and have 3 kids.  Yet, I still have great friends who are single and happy - by choice.  There's always someone out there if your goal is to be married but your goal should be happiness and fulfillment. [/quote]
