In my 24th year. Committing to my marriage was an exciting commitment to myself. Most creative, challenging thing I've ever done.

You are right when you say a lot of women just want that special day to dress up they don't even think about the hard work it takes to put in a marriage. Plus they're thinking about having babies before it gets too late. A lot of marriage is for pressure and all the wrong reasons. I'm glad to be 31 and single.

I tried it and it didn't work, it of course could have been who I chose but nonetheless it was a failed attempt. I think I can credit most of the problems I am seeing to men and women not knowing anything about each other prior to getting married. Or focusing on all the wrong things prior to marriage, who cares if you can watch Basketball Wives together…

Truth, as always, you bring up a valid point.

There are many people not just black-american's who are not married but more than ok with having children with ladies and men they know or in worse case, don't know that well. It is incredibly sad how many children are being born into single parent house holds and in some cases by multiple fathers.

I would like to add my own (sidenote)

Truth, do you think that many people are not getting married because there are not as many men and women who do not have children already? I have a friend who will not marry a man who already has children because the added responsibility it brings is not what she wants right now.
