Yeah not for me. I like my freedom way too much. I know some people who have gotten married at a young age, and they're very happy, but they have very different priorities. I can't even imagine myself being married for another ten years or so as there's still so much that I'd like to do on my own first. If someone comes along who's a perfect match for me and just so happens to have the exact same plans as me for every step of the way, then sure, why not. But for now I'm enjoying being completely selfish

Yeah, I think it's important that if you were to settle down your plans had to coincide. If you want kids and your partner doesn't for another 10 years, it could be a problem. If you both want to travel and then when you're finished settle down and have kids, then great. I imagine as I grow up, my plans might change. But I've always liked the idea of being married quite young, even from an early age. Just having the wife, kids, house seems like a really nice way to live. Rather than being lonely in a flat with just your cat for company. I have no plans in life at the moment, so marriage would be great. It's more finding the right person, that's something I've always wondered about. Finding the one.. does that ever really happen? It's strange considering my parents divorced when I was young, I should be totally against marriage.

Nope, you find A one, not THE one. The idea that there's one perfect person for everyone is ridiculous. I honestly think a lot of it has to do with timing as well. Two people can be perfectly compatible and yet not at the stage where they want to settle down and get married. Once you reach that stage, every person you're with then becomes a potential husband or wife, and if one of them is someone you get along with and has similar goals and values, they'll probably be the one you marry. It's as much to do with 'when' as it is with 'who.'

exactly, so by the time he reaches his early/mid-twenties he might view marriage as a death sentence like most people in their 20's

Is he? I'm closer to 19 than I am 18. And I've liked the idea of early 20s marriage since the age of 13..

I mean finding THE one that you're willing to put up with, I don't believe in any of that bollocks. I just thought the one was an easier way of explaining it. It's quite rare that two people are so in tune with each other as well, to find two people that are right for each other and want the exact same thing at the same time in my opinion is a rarity.

To each their own, but personally I'm really glad I spent my 20s single.

At the moment, maybe I like the idea of marriage and the kids etc. more than the actual thing.

The idea of having that person there for you when you come home seems nice, I believe my own father liked the idea but could never really hack it. We'll see when I get a bit older, but it's something I've never shied away from. I don't get the appeal of spending your 20s alone, there's nothing much I want to do. I don't really enjoy clubbing, I prefer pubs. And I'd like to travel.. but I could travel with my wife, as long as we held off on the having kids. So I dunno.
