When Is It A Good Time To Get Married?
BY ULLYSSES TUCKER JR.
J
une is the perfect time to talk
about getting married. It seems
that most women desire to be a
bride or a bride in general. At 35 years
of age, childless, graduate school edu
cated, single (never been married), and
successful in the eyes (not in my own)
of my peers/family, there’s not a day
that goes by without someone telling
me that I need to settle down or get
married. These individuals close to me
consistently ask why not or when I plan
to get married. My answer? Frankly,
marriage has yet to become one of my
strongest priorities and besides, one
must at least have a candidate to enter
this enlightened state. By the same token,
you can’t relocate to five cities in seven
years and expect to cultivate meaning
ful relationships. Building my resume
and healing from past pains ranked
much higher than a commitment to
another person. If you ask my grand
mother about marriage and me, she’ll
tell you that I’ve missed the boat. 1
don’t think so. It takes some humans
longer to heal from old emotional and
psychological wounds.
Now, the question each person must
ask themselves is, when is it a good
time to get married? That’s if marriage
is on the agenda. You know, according
to those I spoke with, it’s time to get
married when you plan your future and
can’t see it without the other person in
your life. You know it’s time to get
married when people refer to your mate
as your “ lovely wife” or “ your hus
band” when you’re not married. You
also know it’s lime to get married when
your friends recruit you as a babysitter
