When you’re in your late twenties to early thirties, it’s very likely single ladies will be pressured from their closest peers and family many times about marriage aimlessly. You can be self-sufficient and enjoy your single or coupled life, however society has been taught that unless you procreate and take a man’s last name as your own, you don’t matter.
If marriage is not your primary goal in life then don’t feel like a leper, but rather embrace the fact that you are not a droid and not prepared for years of pretending to be in martial bliss when you are actually miserable. Of course, I’m not speaking for all marriages, but divorce statistics these days are only rising.
So when you are next asked when you will get married for the billionth time, here are some suggestions you should take:
1. Say, “When God Puts the special guy in my life.” Most people are too ignorant to question “God’s Plan” in life and will believe that you actually believe there is a higher being out there that will somehow bring a man into your life despite all the violence and famine in the world that should be eradicated first.
2. If your parents sit you down for one of those “When am I going to have grandchildren” talks, simply tune them out or tell them that you won’t have a kid just so your mother has something else to focus on besides decorating the house when your dad is seeing his mistress. They will shut up…trust me.
3. When in doubt, use Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn as examples of people who live happily unmarried together. Most people put far more faith in their tabloid rags then novels and will probably agree you implicitly because you said that.
