I have no desire to get married unitil Ive finished studying, I have a sterdy career and I have travelled.

My current bf is 22 almost 23 I dunno how long he'll wait (but we havent even bothered discussing it cos we've only been together 5months), but a lot of his and my friends are getting married, I'm almost 20 and I still have to finish my degree and then I wanna do my masters (should be finished in 2009)- that still leaves me being roughly 21 maybe 22 depending on month...still too young. Then I wanna travel and get a career... I dont mind being engaged and studying masters but I wont be married til Il 23ish so thats another 3 years away at least haha.

I havent really thought about it.

Doesn't that scare you? I mean, getting married young and all?
It freaks the crap out of me.

lol Casmira's back!

I'd say early thirties with an early to mid twenties girl. Miss that and I'm going to stay a bachelor.

You are so dumb it hurts. Your plan is not only not likely, it's hell boring.

I'm getting married when I stop posting on this forum.

~22 - First marriage, after about 3 months of courtship

23 - First kid, repeat yearly until 4 kids obtained

29 - First divorce, continue on happily enough

31 - Second marriage, more considered this time, 2nd wife resents my kids, I don't appreciate hers either

35 - Second divorce, incur truely massive losses at the family court, lose savings, house, car, business to 2nd wife

36 - Unable to afford child support payments, go to gaol.

36 - Unable to continue professional practise with criminal record, lose job

37 - On dole, living in commission homes, turn to the drink

38 - Massive alcoholic, overweight, depressed, etc.

39 - Murder/suicide of previous wife and children, with an axe.

Your life plan is more entertaining than the previous one.

Also more attainable.

What's the point of life if you can't experience both the good and the bad?

I used to think that I'd only ever get married after I graduate and I've worked for a few years and that will probably still be the case.

Bear in mind though that by the time I finish my degree (if all goes to plan with Honours) I'll be 22, he'll be 25 and we will have been going out for 5 years.

So perhaps by then, we might get married just after uni, rather than after a few more years.

Or tragedy strikes and we break up. Which would make me very sad :(

jesus i don't know how you people do it. I've met tonnes of girls who hope to get married to their one year relationship.

one year is so early days! (no offense to people who've never hit the one year mark, but put it into perspective........)

I'm friends with a couple of 8 years and they only just got engaged. JUST. They're 26 and 29, and will marry in a year.

I suppose people are different, and there are awesome stories that work out, and its just nice to hypothesise about it, but personally when I do, I freak out at all odds. Or I have other things to worry about, like how to kick start a career or if I could afford a decent car anytime soon.

Agreed, my boy and I have been going out for 5months and theres no way in another 7 I'd be ready to marry him (even if I'd finished uni and travelled) a year is NOT long enough to be able to decide that. Sure after a year you may love them, I dunno I've never been in love. But its not a long enough period of time to determine whether you can love them your whole life and live with them.

IF all goes to plan and I end up marrying my boy after uni and travel and carrer, we will have been together for 3 and a bit years, I think that thats sufficient, at least for engagement.

I generally come to the assumption that those of lower socio-economic standing are more likely to marry, especially if they are religious. Whether this is a good or bad thing is a matter of opinion.
