My daughter is 27 years old. She's bright, talented and beautiful. I thought she would have gotten married a few years ago but that apparently wasn't in her plans and in fact, she has no plans for marriage in the near future either. When I ask her about the men she dates, she tells me "Oh Mom - don't get your hopes up - I'm nowhere near ready for marriage!" Why not? Does she want to be in her thirties and still single? What on earth is she waiting for? Of course, since she is 27 there's not much I can do about her life choices. But it bothers me so much that her priorities are all wrong. I worry for her future because I know that the longer she waits, the harder it will be to get married and have a family. I just want the best for her. I want her to be happy. But she seems to be dead set against it.
