Hi,

πŸ˜† sorry, can't stop laughing, thinking I am making a post on it .... don't know if the topic has been discussed or not ....but here is goesπŸ˜†

1. What age do girls typically marry at? How do you know if you are ready for marriage? okay, let me add guys... so they don't feel left out.πŸ˜† Same questions for guys, too.πŸ˜ƒ

2. What topics and subjects should be discussed before going into a marriage? especially arranged? Career, ambitions, dreams? kids?

3. What is a "safe" gap between meeting-engagement and engagement-marriage? Enough to develop a mutual understanding? Or am I living in 'la la' land thinking boys-girls can come to a mutual understanding? πŸ˜†

4. How much should and can one compromise in a relationship? What is a 'healthy' compromise?

5. What are sure signs for kicking the guy or a girl to the curb?πŸ˜†

6. Any advice from the ones who have bitten the cake already?πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜†

okay, that is it ... if I think of more, I will add. πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

Uff somebody has to answer these questions.... I know the topic appears girl-centric, but guys can answer, too. I am sure you have insight.πŸ˜‰πŸ˜†

Varies from country to country, region to region, rural to urban, sect to sect and class to class. In India I think, for girls it's about 23-24yrs and for guys it's about 25-26yrs in the urban area.

2. What topics and subjects should be discussed before going into a marriage? especially arranged? Career, ambitions, dreams? kids?

IMO, matters pertaining to career, ambitions, dreams and kids should be made clear at the early stage so that you can decide whether your basic wants will be affected or not and whether you can consider the person as prospective husband/wife material.

3. What is a "safe" gap between meeting-engagement and engagement-marriage? Enough to develop a mutual understanding? Or am I living in 'la la' land thinking boys-girls can come to a mutual understanding? πŸ˜†

No idea what a safe gap should be. How about till both of them get comfortable with the idea of being engaged to each other and realising what marriage will bring for them.

4. How much should and can one compromise in a relationship? What is a 'healthy' compromise?

This part's for our esteemed married members of DM.πŸ˜ƒ

5. What are sure signs for kicking the guy or a girl to the curb?πŸ˜†

How is this for an idea?? Offence is the best defence. So as soon as the other one lifts his/her leg/finger (for whatever reason), beat the crap out of him/her and then get down and talk.πŸ˜›

Guys do it all the time anyway, dump her before she can dump you.πŸ˜‰

6. Any advice from the ones who have bitten the cake already?πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜†

Me too waiting for all those words now, 'marriage needs constant work - WIP', 'love plays a big part but love alone is not everything'.πŸ˜† OK time for me to run...

okay, that is it ... if I think of more, I will add. πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†

Ok...i am only 16 so i am not married yet but I'll give my opinions for each question

1. What age do girls typically marry at? How do you know if you are ready for marriage? okay, let me add guys... so they don't feel left out. Same questions for guys, too.

~Personally for me I want to get married when I am bout 23 or 24

2. What topics and subjects should be discussed before going into a marriage? especially arranged? Career, ambitions, dreams? kids?

~Everything needs to be discussed....it should be made clear that I want to continue with my career and dont want to have kids until 4 years after marriage

3. What is a "safe" gap between meeting-engagement and engagement-marriage? Enough to develop a mutual understanding? Or am I living in 'la la' land thinking boys-girls can come to a mutual understanding?

~When ever my parents start talking about mine and my sister's marriage...I always tell them that I need atleast a year to get to know the guy...even tho my mom still thinks that a "couple" of meetings are enough...but i dont think you really can understand a person until you have spent a good amount of time with them...and i think only after you are confortable with them and their nature and vice versa...then only you should go on with the engagement and marriage

4. How much should and can one compromise in a relationship? What is a 'healthy' compromise?

~ I think both the wife and husband need to make some type of a compromise to have a successful relationship...i wouldnt want my husband to expect me to make all the sacrifice to have a successful marriage...so i think as long as both the husband and wife understand and respect each other's desecion and are ready to make a compromise when needed then they'll definitly have a successful marriage

5. What are sure signs for kicking the guy or a girl to the curb?

~ I think the only time i'd dump a guy is when they start rushing things...i dont want to get involved in a rushed or forced relationship...so if i feel the guy is getting too fresh or just too touchy...then theres no point in continuing with the relationship

6. Any advice from the ones who have bitten the cake already?

~lol even i'd like to get adivce from the ones who have already tasted the ladoo

1. What age do girls typically marry at?

after 25 , thats also if u r ready for marriage, for career, ready to take resposibilities.

How do you know if you are ready for marriage?

i think its in our society. every girl has in her mind ( logon ne bithaya hota hai uske dimaag mein)that she should get married before 25 after that she will be oldπŸ˜† so automatically they prepare themself for marrieage after 18( i think😳)

okay, let me add guys... so they don't feel left out.

so guys commentπŸ˜›

oh I think you mean to ask, when do guys think girls are ready for marriageπŸ˜†πŸ˜† the answer is neverπŸ˜†

2. What topics and subjects should be discussed before going into a marriage? especially arranged? Career, ambitions, dreams? kids?

nope drinking, smoking, affairs, etc(will give the guy something to ponder aboutπŸ˜†)

3. What is a "safe" gap between meeting-engagement and engagement-marriage?

eternity, once you are married all the fun is over, I dont want to talk about the safe aspect(for obvious reasons)πŸ˜‰

Enough to develop a mutual understanding? Or am I living in 'la la' land thinking boys-girls can come to a mutual understanding? πŸ˜†

mutual understanding, yes, you are in la la landπŸ˜†

4. How much should and can one compromise in a relationship? What is a 'healthy' compromise?

you asking this from a womens perspective?πŸ˜† I think the healthy compromise is the guy to accept everything for his own health's sakeπŸ˜†

5. What are sure signs for kicking the guy or a girl to the curb?πŸ˜†

that they seem stable, they more stable they seem before marriage, the more unstable they turn out afterπŸ˜†

6. Any advice from the ones who have bitten the cake already?πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜†

dont do it, enough punishment has been meted out alreadyπŸ˜†

okay, that is it ... if I think of more, I will add. πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†
