If you want to get married, get ready to receive three 'rings'. Engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffeRING. Other than that there is no road out there that is smooth without any bumps. Besides marriage is a union of two souls. Sad how divorce rates are increasing just like gas prices.

Our play is travel ALOT in our twenties, volunteer abroad, at some point buy a puppy (lol). Kids just don't make the cut until we are 30. I am not really concerned health wise, essentially because my boyfriends entire family waited in their 30's to have kids and they are healthy as you can get! My boyfriend's mom and I are actually planning a trip to Germany after university you would never guess her age, that lady is so freaking active she puts me to shame. My mother however would prefer if I had kids around 25 (YIKES). My friends are all like me as well, no kids until 30! ( some of them are actually getting married this year) 20s are all going to be about fun with our husbands and travel.
I agree though it is kind of daunting the thought of raising kids until I am like 50, but I know I only want 1 or 2 haha so I am hoping by that time If i want to travel I will just drag my kid along with me. My aunt had her three kids all in her 30s and every year they go to a different country together to explore! Sorry for the long message, your opinion was interesting to me, it is refreshing to hear such a difference of opinions
At the end of the day, it really is a choice you make based on what suits your lifestyle best (and of course assuming you have someone to have kids with lol). I can understand why a lot of people would elect to leave having kids to their 30s but personally I wana get that part over with before I turn 30 so I can raise them while we're all still young lol I figure it'll be more fun that way (probably harder than someone with more life experience but still more fun).
Do it because you love the person, and not any other.

having been married and now divorced, i would say you MUST discuss everything in depth and make sure you're on the same page and be willing to revisit that from time to time. also, be honest about your expectations and your partner's. realize that things that you might be willing to put up with at the beginning get very tedious 10 years down the road. (if they don't pick their clothes up off the floor now, they probably never will).
security definitely helps - financial, emotional, etc. have a game plan and a budget for the long term.
have contingency plans - what are you going to do if there's financial failure, can't have kids, one of you is gravely ill or whatever - is that something where you're going to stick around for the long haul?
have personal space and don't compromise yourself. it's okay to meet in the middle, but not okay if you're constantly smothering your own wishes/desires just to please your partner - it quickly leads to resentment.
What debate? Just because someone believes in Santa doesn't make him real
Prophet Mohammed did exist, y-chromosome dna testing does prove it.
Typical atheist, the only way you guys respond to a statement is laugh about it , try to make a joke or relate a topic to something unrelated (what you just did).

That's a nice way of missing the poster's point. They were talking about the existence of God, not Moe.

No he was referring to Prophet Mohammed. Read what he was responding to.
And you just proved my point. You are disrespecting my Prophet for calling him "Moe". I don't go around and calling Jesus "Jeez" or Moses "Mos". This is why we Muslim tell you to stop insulting, because you are making insults.

Why would anyone deny that he existed, you can tell if you read the Quran that he was a real dude? He was refering to God.
And how is calling someone Moe an insult? Nicknames never hurt anyone. Take a chill pill and if you don't like what you hear, just ignore me and go about your day. No use in getting angry. Also, Jeez and Mos are nice nicknames, well thought out!

What nonsense. In a secular society, your beliefs and practices deserve no more respect than any other. Canada (and the Western world in general) has a history of open criticism of religion - mainly Christianity - indeed, it seems to be one of the hallmarks of 'Western modernity'. Islam deserves no more respect than Christianity, Wiccanism, voodoo or any other sort of belief system under secularism.
In other words - it's not our problem if our regular discourse is your sacrilege.

I didn't say Islam deserves more respect. You are putting words in my mouth to get an argument going.
I didn't make fun of Christians, Pagans or Atheists. It's something called respect. Moe is a name someone makes up to mock someone else. Did I say Jeez ? No. Did I say Moe ? No.
This is the problem with you Islamophobes. How can we Muslims engage in a logical discussion when you start mocking our beliefs and using slangs. Get out of your chair and go to any professional debates. You will get kicked out if you start mocking someone's beliefs.
In other words, to have a civilized conversation, there has to be respect.
But then again, I wouldn't be surprised if you're going to twist the sentence above and put words in my mouth. And Again you have no coherence with your arguments. Someone said that, I quote :"What debate? Just because someone believes in Santa doesn't make him real " And this was when I told him that I believed in the Prophet Mohammed. If you can't understand something as simple as that, I suggest you seek medical attention.
