I am 30 years old and I have no urge to get married. I used to date regularly, I go away on vacations, I basically do what I want, when I want. I have certain family members who think I am either gay, or mentally ill because I am not married by now. To be honest, I dont understand why they think marriage = happiness? Do they want me to get married so I will be complete? Am I missing out on that much happiness by not being married? I have no idea. My question is, for all you married people. Should I be wanting to get married? Does it complete you as a person? Give you purpose in life? I was hoping by 30 years old I would have the urge to wanna get married and have a family, but to be honest, its the opposite. I also have no interest in kids, like zero none. I fear getting a woman pregant right up there with death, its easily a top 5 fear for me
My personal info 2 bachelors MBA and net worth 750k because I just sold my condo in Vancouver. I also have a trust fund. Not trying to brag, but I feel that I have allot to lose if I got divorced
Now, this is info coming from a 61 yr old VERY happily married man......
No matter what anyone, and I do mean anyone tells you, absolutely DON'T marry unless you truely want to!! And, if you have no interest in having kids.......another DON'T do it!!
My wife and I have been married for almost 10 yrs now, but I was single (ok, divorced) for almost 21 years before I met her. I only liked being single for about the first 6 months and the rest of the 20 1/2 years I HATED it. Yes, that's right, I HATED being single for those years. I am a "marriage minded" person and was extremely glad when I met my wife who was the same "minded" person. Both of us had been married twice before, but were not afraid of marriage/committment at all. We don't have kids and guess we were both lucky with "no pregnancies" while we were single. Anyway, we love each other and being married. Our age is very close (she's a year older), so we come from the same generation and have a LOT of the same interests.
Bottom line, last words are........DON'T, DON'T, DON'T for marriage and kids until you want to; if that ever happens, but you are only 30 years old though!

There is no reason for you to get married at this point in your life. If you ever find someone you don't want to live without you can reconsider, but for now enjoy your life and freedom.
