How do you manage pressure from family members to marry?

[King Belieal]

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?

 

[Springtime]

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.

 

[Fidelia]

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 don't find this pressure in my family . So good for me that nobody would ever pressure me for this

 

[nomad]

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

 

[Starmix]

My family does not pressure me they know me well that cannot be dictated to because I have my own decision to make.

 

[freelancermaria]

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.

 

[Stardom22]

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

 

[cherry123]

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

 

[Etini Willie]

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

 

[Ratine]

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

 

[Shavkat]

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.

 

[Niyi Briggs]

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.

 

[Pearl]

My family doesn't pressure me in any form in getting married they believe that marriage is God timing.

 

[eldavis]

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

 

[Kera]

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.

 

[Miley]

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

 

[Ratine]

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