I am 19, female. my mother is 56. father is 57. do i need to marry earlier??

my mother has been trying to train me to be more matured (as I am the youngest, kind a spoil), to do house chores and many thingswhile my father, who has always been proud of me, are giving me rules for every single penny he would give. and if I want more, I have to work with him (like marking his students test papers)the problem is my mother. she has been giving hints for me to marry. I have no one as a husband candidates but she tell me if I want to marry, she has one man in her mind. I ask her, why so early? she tell me she needs rests and time for herself (she has always been busy raising 8 child's and working as a high school teacher, for almost 25 years. she work damn hard). I understand that.then, she told me that marrying at my age could bring to mental depression (if I am not really ready) and 'that' things between a couple itself could be a trouble. I understand that because I am myself not meeting any boys (because I don't want to).actually, I'm planning to marry when I was 24-26. but... that is 5-7 years of waiting for my old and exhausted parents. and, I'm thinking of marrying someone who is 4-7 years older than me. please give me some suggestions/comments/advice. we all know marriage is not a game.

I am 56. My daughter is 16. I would never push her to marry. That is for her to decide. Ypur parents are being selfish wanting you to marry so they can have a "break" . You need to make theses decisions on your own.

well... they have been giving hints. my mother want to see how I marry so she could help me if I face the problem in marriage. she too, actually afraid that I failed in marriage when she is getting older and can't help me. she has many reasons. do you think they are selfish when she is hinting for my own good on certain reason??

If she truely has your best interest no. But your first ed post kinda seemed like it was for them.

No? I think you should live your life and make the best of it before marrying. But that's just really a decision only you can make.

No problem

You're too young to marry.

You must learn about yourself more and love it because it's easy to love others if you know how to love your own
