Old maid ???

My warm greetings to everyone ) Thanks that you are reading my blog now and you are interested in a topic that i am going to discuss. My name is Marina and i am 29 years old. I have never been married and of course I dream about this. But in Ukraine many people think that a girl should find her man when she is about 17 or 19 years old and get married when she is about 20. I always listen to my mum and she always tell me - Marina ! When will you get married ! When will you become a bride ??? ...but actually i am so bored to listen to all of these words and questions because i think that everything should be done in its time ! I think both a woman and a man should be mature and they might be responsible about their relationships and about their future family. They should both undertsand that future children that will be born might live in a good -hearted family atmosphere and also both people should work and be financially independent. I don't know why - but in Ukraine it is normally to think that if a lady is single in my age - that means that something wrong with her and she is the old maid. But i don't feel myself an old maid - i am young, full of energy and full of serious plans about my future. All those girls who get married in the age of 20 don't know life and don't have life experience. Parents always help them in all life spheres , but i think that if a lovable couple has their own family, they have to live with their own lives and be responsible for everything that they do together.
Dear reader, what is the best age for marriage for women and men in your country?
I will be waiting for your reply here or in my personal page ! Share your life experience with me , ok ?
