I am almost 30 and I would have liked to have been married by 25 but it never happened so going on 30 not sure if it will happen. But it had me thinking, is it alright to get married after 30 or even older? You always see young people as young as teens getting married if not people in their 20s get married. Part of me thinks I won't ever get married and it hurts to see everyone else going up the ladder and I am still at the bottom.
It's okay to get married at any age. I can't believe in this day and age someone is even asking that question. Not sure about other countries but in America the average age at which a person marries has been going up for a while. Nothing wrong with marrying after 30 or later. In fact, you'd probably be better able to make an informed decision as to whether the other person is suitable for you than if you were to marry at a younger age. Don't obsess about it though. Just because you aren't married doesn't mean you can't like a happy, productive life.
Get married at whatever age you want to, or don't get married, if you don't want to. Life isn't a game where you have to climb the ladder and progress through marriage, parenthood, divorce, remarriage, etc. in order to keep up with everyone else. You can do what makes you happy.
I have a friend in her 50's who just got married and she's happy as can be. I got married when I was 18 and I'm still happy and in love...when you find the right person, that makes it the right time of your life to get married, it's not about getting it done by some certain age.

I have a friend who married after 30 and she married well. Heck, he married well. They now have two children.
I met my husband when I was 22, we did not get married until I was 30. We don't have children yet (I'm 33 now). People were always badgering us, asking us when we were going to get married. Now it's the same thing with children.
Do what feels right to you, not society. If you are worried about finding someone...I always found it became easier when I stopped looking so darn hard. I know people who are just getting married in their late 30s, early 40s.

Of course it's ok! What are you going to do? Meet the man of your dreams and tell him "sorry, I can't marry you. I'm over 30." You are on your own ladder. Life doesn't start at marriage. Enjoy your freedom.

There is no ladder. Okay, to put it in your words - by the time you get up the ladder, they crashed through the ceiling and end up at the bottom again.
30 and never married is way better as 30 and divorced.
Your time will come. I know lots of people over 30 who aren't married.
I'm 61 and I've never been married. I never wanted to be a wife or a mother to anyone.
DH, as a I call him as we've lived together for so long, has never been married either.
They lived together happily for 40 years, then they married
