When family relatives and acquaintances ask about my relationship status and I respond 'single,' I get weird looks.
The next question that pops out of their mouth is - How old are you again?
Mostly I want to roll my eyes but I respectfully respond.
Then they go on and on about how I'm supposed to be hitched since I'm done with my tertiary education. therefore the next on my agenda is marriage!!!
I try to explain that getting married isn't like getting a university degree nor a job one can change when you find a better appointment.
I try to drum it in that wedding is just paparazzi, while marriage is the real deal where all the skeletons are out of the closet.
Yet, they insist there is an age limit for marriage especially for women.
I believe there's no age limit to marriage. Men and women have rushed into marriage due to age pressure and ended up with unfathomable regrets.
It's better to be assured of what you are getting into before you take that "till death do you part" plunge. Age should never be the determining factor.
