Exactly when is the right time for it? This is what comes to my mind each time I hear people talk about marriage. It is an issue of serious argument, where different ideas are brought in to back up each person’s stand.
Some set of people believe that getting married early is the best and most logical. Agreed, it is logical, but then, how do we go about our education. This comes from another set of people, who believe that marriage and education cannot go hand in hand. One has to be given priority over the other. To them, getting married early means forfeiting your chance of having the highest possible level of education. This applies to ladies, though.
The first set then argues that while pursuing your education, you miss your chance of having ‘Mr. right’. As it is, men go for very young ladies, as those in their late twenties are not young enough for them. If one were to wait to complete her education, which will be a long way off, it definitely will be difficult to get someone she really desires, as she will accept another option out of desperation as she is not getting younger by the day.
This point is debunked, as they say you don’t have to finish education before getting someone you wish to marry. This entails the guy waiting for you to finish your education, but you are seen as an item. But, for how long can a guy wait? How long can he withstand the pressure of family on him to get settled? All these should be into consideration when setting your priority.
Marriage and education should not be a thing of issue. Some people have been able to cope with the two, some haven’t, some wish they had married earlier than they have, some are content with the time they got married. It all depends on you and what is right for you.
Everyone is right in his/her own way, as our views of life differ. The problem lies in how to make sure our view is agreeable to our situations. Our priority should be set right. As for me, I won’t dull myself. Education will not stop me from getting married when the time is right. What about YOU?
