Marriage - When?

I don't plan on ever getting married. Mostly because I can't see it happening.

The "lol i'm gay" thing also plays a part in it, but I'm trying to push that factor aside somehow.

Incorrect. While plenty of people are fine being together without needing the government's stamp of recognition, there are numerous federal benefits associated with marriage in the U.S. (most other countries reserve certain rights and responsibilties for married couples as well), and various other state-level rights and benefits that vary from state-to-state.

It's your right to not get that "piece of paper" if you don't want it but keep in mind marriage does have a "significant use".
 
I don't think I'll ever actually get married, because of several reasons, but I still think there's a shift in a relationship when you decide it's the time to actually start behaving like you're going to start a family and stuff. I wouldn't want that shift until I'm finished university definitely, so probably any time after I'm 23. It depends a lot on the person though :)
 
Most likely when I find someone I really love, I have a good career, etc.
 
Somewhat around 20-30. Honestly, I don't want to marry in an early age. It's just that I won't be enjoying my single life and have some fun with friends and stuff. XDD
 
I've never really thought of an ideal age to get married, I'd get married in a few years if I met the right guy. I couldn't get married right now though, I'd never afford it and I'd have to take time off college. xD
 
2-4 years from when I start dating the person from question. ;o

It's not a matter of what age, but rather how long one dates before they consider this big step.

You could try getting married then having your state recognize it as a civil union or a domestic partnership. I have friends who did that. I live in California and we do that.

Why would I want a piece of paper saying that I am not equal therefore I get the second best option saying, "Sorry you're not good enough."

Why isn't it good enough? Did you know that DPs are EXACTLY THE SAME as marriages in CA in every regard except the name. If it is equal legal rights you guys want, DPs provide that so I think it's more about forcing acceptance of you lifestyle on society.

Anyway, back on topic... If you had the ability to marry someone of the same gender would you and when?
 
I asked my boyfriend Jim when he'd like to get married. He told me when I started selling more of my novels and making some big money.

So I asked him... why hasn't he bought any yet?

Seriously though, marriage for my boyfriend and I will happen when we feel the time is right. For right now, we're just enjoying being a part of each others' lives.
 
I'd like to get married sometime when I'm older. I honestly see 28-33 a good age because I'd like to have a good down-payment on a house and be very secure financially before I make that decision. I want the factor to be love.. and not for any sort of rent breaks or stuff like that :/
 
I don't think slapping an age range on something like 'when I want to be married' is really a good idea 'cause I don't want to try to predict the unpredictable, although I don't think people should jump into marriage too young (early 20s or younger). For me, I'd say it should be whenever I've met these criteria:

  • I have a stable and successful career
  • I've grown adequately as a person to handle/be responsible for a marriage
  • I've found the right man
  • I've taken time and formed an unbreakable bond with him
 
Marriage

You are absolutely right. It's the perfect age of marriage. Getting stable in your career and then get married is a good way to live happily.
 
D: What.

Bad adbot, no necro-posting.
