Should people get married and have kids at a young age or focus on careers?

[mrshooiser]

My life I've always wanted a marriage because I didn't really know what career to even choose in life. But my main goal was to find true love and wonderful husband. Money and careers wouldn't make me happy cause I've always been number one at wanting love more.

It depends on the person everyone’s different and has different life paths. It doesn’t make one person right and another wrong it's about finding what’s right for you.

People who are pressured to marry young many times marry the wrong person not only hurting themselves but also hurting someone else in the process. At times they marry someone too good to be true…. A man or woman that pretends to be everything they want until they get married and all the sudden the mask fades. Pushed too fast like a used car salesman into signing that contract.

People also marry someone they don’t have a lot in common with and aren’t compatible. Maybe someone’s more traditional and the other isn’t… maybe one wants lots of kids the other doesn’t.

It’s important to find the right person sometimes that takes time. But some people also have kids and a career. Some have a career but take a break for a while. Maybe dropping out of the workforce, maybe taking part time employment, or maybe working full time but not in a demanding capacity.

People have to figure out what’s right for THEM…. If that’s what’s right for you. Do it. It’s your life. Not anyone else’s.

I think it would be better for women to have children first than career. There is only a short window for women re babies and a much longer window for careers.

@mrshooiser any women who wants kids should have kids, don’t follow what society wants you to do.

currently society wants us to focuse on career and start family at age 30 or so. Which is hard

I think biologically people are meant to marry and make families. But the world tells us that having a career is more important.

If by a young age you mean 20s. Then yes. Your career is supposed to support your life not be the focus point of it.
