there is always time for a man later. if you like working and want a career, focus on that. often that is an attractive trait for a man as well. a woman who has a life outside the marriage...

focus on career, because one cannot/should not focus on marriage as a principle, because marriage is the end result of a working relationship which takes time to build.


if you enter a relationship with the sole aim to be married, then your relationship will not be a good one.


or in the other words, marriage is (nice) side effect of a good relationship and not a status/objective in itself


just my 5 cents...

why can't you have a career and a marriage too? I dont' understand why it has to be either or.

if it was choosing between a career and staying home witha baby, i could understand. but geting married doesn't mean you need to give up urself and your identity for your husband. you should maintain and continue wiht what you want in life. if your partner is not willing to accept that, then he's not the guys for you!

Well, it depends.


1. It depends on what kind of career you are pursuing. Some careers allow you to leave on time while others don't. Some require plenty of OT and some don't.

2. It depends on whether or not you want to have children. Then some are okay if helpers or grandparents bring up their kids, some aren't and prefer to be hands-on.

3. It also depends on your values and your husband's values. Whether or not he respects a woman who has given up her career to be a wife and mother... or whether or not he supports a wife who chooses her career despite having a family (and is happy for somebody else to help her run the house).

Not sure why you have to choose in between???


My perfect world is to have both. But if the situation is like you loved one is transferring to abroad for work and you want to be there with him. I guess I ll choose marriage cause to find the Mr. Right is not that easy.

why on earth would you need to make a decision? you should do whatever you want to do. I also honestly fail to see why its one or the other. Maybe because im from Europe and do not comprehend these sort of ideas. Where i come from you do whatever you want to do plus marriage is optional. Dont need to marry, could just be together. Also i dont see the reason why having to choose one. You could have kids and your guy could stay at home look after them and you could go to work, depending if he s ok with quitting his job. But honestly i dont see why one should be forced to make a decision, that idea seems alien to me.
