Do you think that married people want everyone married?

How common is married people say to others:

“Ab Tum Bhi Shaadi Kar Hi Daalo. Kab Tak Landoray Rahogay?” :slight_smile:

(You should also get married. How long you are going to be bachelor?)

Re: Do you think that married people want everyone married?

ohh tell me about it, before i got married all my well meaning annoyingly smug already marriedcousins and aunts were going on at me....im a buddi apparently at 24...and my sell by dates soon..or expiry date or whatever it was they said...anyway so i gt married eventually, thus the next chapter begins...bachey kab hongey, buddi ho jaygi........

lol at buddi!

Married people want to get you in the same club, sort off.

Akela Dekh Nahin Sakte! :(

Re: Do you think that married people want everyone married?

Yes they do and it's very annoying. They seem to be more worried for you than your parents. Fair enough if you're getting quite old but why bother someone who hasn't even completed their studies? People need to understand that the sole purpose of coming into this world is not to get married.

Re: Do you think that married people want everyone married?

Seems like a most of them do. Maybe the expectation of marriage has been subconsciously ingrained in them by family/society......hence they hold this expectation of singletons. Or perhaps, they are truly happy in their marriage (spouse, kids) and desire that same happiness for you. Or maybe a few of them are miserable in their marriage and want you to get hitched as well.....the idea of "misery loves company."

^People have different reasons behind their viewpoints/suggestions.

One of my married friend wouldn't leave her husband but has told me many times that "marriage is overrated." But, then again, she got married at 18 and although she loves her husband, she wishes that she had married later........and gotten to know herself as an individual better. I've also heard/read about married people occasionally wishing the were single again.....reminiscing about carefree times when there were fewer responsibilities and you had more time to yourself.

Bottom line: Whatever the reasons behind another person's suggestion.......marriage is a decision that you should make because you feel you're ready as an individual and because you truly want to undertake such a step. The frequency of married folks suggesting marriage........should not be the main reason that prompts you to get married. Also, no state in life (either marriage or singledom) will be complete bliss. Life will always have ups and downs..........and human beings by nature can be unsatisfied from time to time.

Agree with Mama ki Dua:

The sole purpose of life is not marriage. People who are divorced, or whose partners walked out on them, whose spouses have passed away, or who aren't married for whatever reason......don't stop living. Some people are married and miserable. Happiness is complex....it's not entirely dependent upon marriage.

True. Also the main reason why our parents get stressed out is because they keep bugging them to get us married.

Married people (especially with kids) want others to suffer just like themselves... we all know misery loves company!!! :p

After getting married, I recommended it to my friends because I really was a well wisher for them. I am Alhamdulillah very happy being married, and simply wanted the same for them too.
