People should marry if they feel the desire to have a lifelong committed relationship with another person and have children. If they conclude they are not read for marriage or are incapable of sustaining a committed relationship they shouldn’t marry. Its no one else’s business how or when they make such a decision. All these threads seeking to establish norms for marriage seem to focus more on the feelings of the parents, grandparents, etc. rather than just leaving the most important decision of a person’s life to that person. Its OK not to marry if that is your decision for now and you can revisit that decision if/when your beschert comes into your life.
