A father is sat on a rocking chair, complaining to his friend that his 24-year old graduate daughter is just pursuing her career, making money but not giving any consideration to men and marriage.
Friends are no different. Once a number of people in a circle walk down the aisle, they put others under pressure to do the same.
Though they often do this with the best intentions and while some would almost shame you into marrying, others do it subtly and even unintentionally.
People have also been known to place personal pressures on themselves to get married.
And then there’s social media, age factor, and family members [read busybody aunts and uncles] who can’t go a week without reminding you that your biological clock is ticking like the timer on a bomb.
What all these pressure groups [isn’t that what they are?] fail to realise is that there is a different time for everybody and what applies to one does not necessarily apply to all.
To get married, have babies, do PDA for the gram and other cute stuff is what almost everyone desires but not everyone is ready yet.
