Girls and the Right Time to Marry

The other day just heard some guys talking in the lift. One of them was complaining against the girls, who choose to marry late these days. It was nice to hear the 'other side' for a change. We, some married and some not yet tied ones are constantly discussing the topic - especially when any wedding is round the corner. :-)

Here's the chat between the two guys and my 'wish I had said that' included:
*Arguments may be specific to IT Clan.

Guy A: These days, its becoming V bad yaar. Most of the girls are wanting to marry only after they work for 3 years after their Engineering etc.
Guy B: Yes yaar. These girls tell their parents also not to look for an alliance before that. They want to earn lot of money, before they get married.
My Head: Yeah, its true. Most of them want to be self-reliant before being tied down. Who knows what future brings? One way, its good...but then, how good is late marriage?...

Guy A: Money. Thats what rules even girls minds these days. They don't want to marry until they have some back-up.
Guy B: By the time they agree to marry, parents have some tough time searching for a good groom.
My Head: Yeah, right. But for that matter, aren't the Guys willing to work hard and save up as much as possible, before taking up the family responsibilites? Why are the girls being blamed for this attitude? But again, who is at a loss??

At this point, the lift reached my floor and I wished, I could go until the Guy's floor to know their Conclusions - about the Working Girls and the right marriage time...

My Head: Hmm...its good to get married while you are younger, before your minds become more stubborn (as in, I am correct everytime!). Marriage calls for adjustments, in many ways...once you are older and equally capable of money-making, do you wish to settle down for something lesser than desired? How would you survive the rigmarole of having to deal with a Guy's ego, even if he is a loved one?...

Only My Head: How much willing would a girl be to making adjustments for harmony? With both ego's soaring high...where would the satisfaction of a happy relationship exist? For whose sake eventually would a girl marry?....All this and much more leads me to another controversial topic - why is it so important that a Girl marries???....
