Relationship Talk: I'm 29 & my mum is pressuring me into marriage

My mother has been on my case to bring home a potential suitor just because I am fast approaching 30.

I have always envisioned myself married before 25 but right now I'm 29 and still single.

My mother has been on my case to bring home a potential suitor and I really don't want to because the right men are not coming my way.

Hi Reader,

You can’t allow yourself to be pressured into marriage.

See, marriage [not the wedding ceremony] is yours and yours alone. The burden of enduring a bad marriage is one you will bear on your own, so it is better to not make the mistake at all.

Understandably, you might personally not be happy with being unmarried at 29, but you’ve still got to wait for that good and perfect thing.

Being 30 and unmarried is not a crime!!! Get the idea and mentality out of your mind.

Would you rather be married at 25 and divorced at 29 or married at 30 and enjoy the best marriage for life?

While your parents might have your best interests at heart, they can’t always be right about what’s right for you and how your life journey should go especially as you are now an adult.

Please remain patient. Something great will come.

This article here has more information on why it is good to bid your time before making that huge decision.

Again, please ensure to not take anyone home due to pressure. If he’s not right for you, he’s not the one for you.
