I'm 31, and thankfully, no, none of my family's done that. I don't see my relatives often enough for them to have a chance to comment on the idea of me getting married, but even when I do see them, they've never really raised it as an issue. And my mom has never pressured me (or my sister) to get married, nor did my dad when he was alive. All my parents have ever wanted for my sister and me is to be happy with whatever we choose to do with our lives, and be able to take care of ourselves financially and so on. If that includes marriage, great, if not, that's fine, too.

Plus, my parents got married when they were 20 years old, and while they had a great marriage (32 years), I remember them talking years later about how that they'd wished they'd held off on marrying for a couple more years or so, so they could get their own lives in order first and do things they might've had a little more difficulty doing when married. So that's another reason they've never insisted my sister and I HAD to settle down.

My mom's co-workers, on the other hand? They seem REALLY invested in wanting to know why my sister (who is married) doesn't have kids yet, or why I'm not married and having children. They seem utterly shocked that my mom isn't pressuring me to settle down, despite the fact that I don't even know them. Why, I don't know, but it's alternately amusing and annoying.

Speaking for myself, yeah, I wouldn't mind getting married someday if I met the right sort of guy. I'm not looking to walk down the aisle anytime soon, no, mainly because I want my life to be in a much more stable place before I even consider bringing someone else into it. But I won't rule it out in the future.

They're very cool :). I'm grateful they are/were in my life.
