Girl, You’re How Old?! Why She’s 30 (or Older) and Still Not Married

1. She Doesn’t Want to Get Married

Duh. Not all women dream of white dresses, flowers and a diamond ring. Okay, maybe they want a ring…but it can simply be a ring with diamonds in it. I say all that to say, not all women want to get married. It’s just that simple. Whether she revels in the sound of silence, wants to drink straight out of the orange juice container without someone giving her the side-eye, or just enjoys her own company (and space), there is no rule that says all women should be dreaming of their wedding day from the time they can walk. Not all women want to bag a husband – and that doesn’t mean we don’t a relationship or to be in love. Having a meaningful relationship and being in love do not presuppose that marriage should automatically follow, and some women feel that a piece of legally binding paper does not validate their love, or even their child(ren). If she sees the institution of marriage as archaic, or simply isn’t pressed to have a “traditional marriage,” then that’s her choice. There’s nothing wrong with living a fabulous, single life.
