You must be feeling the pressure to get married and settle down if you are in a marriageable age and still single.

The pressure to get married is affecting the life of every youngster irrespective of the facts like educational background, working status, gender, or financial status. Men are not even unaffected with it as it is not that the women of marriageable age are facing such pressure. We can even try to make them understand the point of waiting for the right person and not the right time, however, we can’t change the mindset of people. There are chances that you will face reverse effects of the same as this is again a very tricky affair. Without even making a big fuss about it, the best you can do is to devise some strategies to deal with this pressure. To deal with the pressure to get married and also enjoy your bachelorhood here are some points shared.
Be Sure What You Want:
It is better to be sure of what you want in your life before reaching any point or conclusion. With your present life, are you happy? Behind not getting married what are the reasons? Soon or not do you want to get married? About life partner preferences, what are they? About married life what do you think? It is worth waiting for the right person if you know the answer to these questions and you know what exactly you want in life. It is better that you are 100% sure what you are doing and what you want in your life before accepting or rejecting some marriage proposal.
Be Logical:
Be logical with your replies and approach when you say no to any proposal or ask your parents to give you some more time as you don’t want to get married. Tell them that you don’t want to get married because you are not ready for it or your friends are still single if you will give them lame excuses. For your parents, this is not a very convincing point. Give them convincing logic if you do not want to get married right now.
Explain With Patience:
Explain it to your parents if you don’t want to get married now. Have patience and explain to them your point if they are now pressurising you to get married soon and giving their own logic for getting married and you are in no mood to settle down now. As your anger might annoy them, be clear about your thoughts, and don’t get hyper or irritated while explaining your point to your parents or your friends.
Be Honest:
To remain honest in your thoughts and approach, it is important. Avoid beating around the bushes as also talking about something irrelevant. Tell to your parents why you need more time and be honest with them if you are in a marriage relationship with someone and he/she is asking for some time to take the next step. Be clear about it and make them understand your point if you want to focus more on your career right now and want to settle down financially before getting married. To be honest, your approach is important.
Love Marriage/Arranged Marriage:
Love marriage or arranged marriage, what do you choose? About what you want in life be sure. Make it clear to your parents as well that you will go for an arranged marriage only if you are sure that there is no one in your life and you want to do arranged marriage only. You will tie the knot with their wishes as there is no one in your life. That you are postponing marriage because of other reasons, will not create any confusion in their mind.
Don’t Feel Friend’s Pressure:
Which most of the youngster feel, this is another pressure. As all your friends give you many reasons why you should tie the knot, at times you feel so stressed. As they all are married and you are single they want you to enter into the married club. Enjoy their company if you are comfortable with your single friends. Unnecessarily don’t stress yourself.
Advantages Of Being Single:
Don’t worry about others and enjoy your bachelorhood if you want to wait, take some more time to settle down. To be single is great. There is no harm in it no matter you are 25 years or 35 years and still single. Being single there are a lot of things which you can experience and enjoy. Having its own advantages and disadvantages is every phase of life. More important than getting married to the wrong one is therefore finding the right partner. Have fun with friends and family and enjoy your life to the fullest.
Be Open With Ideas:
On which you should work upon, this is another thing. With different ideas be open. Be open with it if you are in a relationship and your boyfriend or girlfriend wants some time before meeting your parents or getting married. To marry soon don’t force your partner. Be open with that idea if your fiancée/fiancé wants to postpone the marriage for a few months or a year.
Communicate Well:
The key to any strong relationship is communication. With people, it is better to communicate well with our thoughts and ideas. It will further create confusion and irritate them if you will not reply to their questions or don’t make your point clear why you don’t want to settle down now. Rather than avoiding conversation, therefore, communicate well about your thoughts and feelings.
