Is it that time?

I feel as if this year the new thing is getting married. Everyone is doing it; societal pressure. But if that isn't bad enough, our parents have already given into that pressure. They want us to get married early, it happens to be the new trend. Now there is nothing wrong with getting married but when is it really the right age? Or when is it the right time? Is it or should it be different depending on gender? We talk about innovation, moving forward, and how women should have careers but at one point or the other we have a decision to make. Family life or our career? For those of you who disagree, let me show you my point of view. Say you don't choose right away, and you get married, seem to be balancing life fine and then you have a child. The upbringing, and not just any upbringing, the proper upbringing is something that, culturally, is a woman's job. Even if we don't look at that, what about being there for your child or even your husband. Or say if you're selfish and want to look at it from your own well beings perspective, eventually it will take a toll on your appearance as well and in the process of keeping up with it all, it all might catch up to you. It is a decision that we all have to make and regardless of what it is, we should be thanked. If a man is blessed with a patient and understanding significant other, he too should be understanding of her needs.
