Personally, I married pretty late. I was 17 years older than my parents when I married.

My parents married at 18/25 and are married still, 46 years later, and still love each other and stuff. I'm in my 40's with a kid, never married and can't see myself ever getting married.

Why can’t you see yourself getting married?

I just could never picture it, not even as a kid. I guess I don't want to be with someone in that way. Are you married/want to be married?
