I come from a society where family members have a enormous influence on a person's life. It is so much that your family members would be putting pressure on you at a certain age to get married. I am practically avoiding my mom because I can't stand her sermons on me getting married.

Have you ever been put under pressure to marry? If you have, how do you handle such pressure?

Our society is more open now. There are many people who remain single. Pressure to get married from family is not too high. It's all a matter of personal choice.

I experience this pressure on a large scale and I have decided to just shut it out. I don't know if they expect me to just get up and force a man and marry.

I thought that was only done in the African continent. However one must follow their personal insights and stand.

I am married, even when I was not married, I was not pressurized to get married. If you are of marriage age and it is common practice in my place

My family does not pressure me to get married, and to be honest, it is not something I am actively seeking. Although, if my partner popped the question, I would not rule it out completely. LOL

I was about to marry at 17 but the guy was cornered and that made my heart hard like a stone.

I would urge them to let everyone live their own life. That's because marriage is a personal thing.

marriage is a personal thing and it's no race. So you allow everyone do their thing according to their pace

Anyone that pressures me to get married would have to provide the finances that I would use to support a family.

You would find that in the most African traditional family set up whereby people are being urged for marriages

The lucky thing is, we are not pressured to be married so soon. My parents are open-minded if we want to get married or not.

There are some pressures that I don't even allow to get to me. Marriage is personal and no one can pressure me for that.

I simply focus on my work. This way I won't start thinking about what they are saying all the time.

No one can call me to pressure me into marriage. I have already defined that to every family member that marriage would come in its own time.

If family member pressure me in getting married they will either provide the financial or rather sponsored everything.

I think one should be guided by their personal grounds on everything that they should decide on themselves.
