tennisstar88 agony auntYou know I picked marriage before finishing school (going back to shove summer school down my throat), I don't regret it one bit. In fact, I'm lucky that my husband is transferring his G.I. bill to me so that the rest of my schooling will be paid for.

However, now that were married..I wish to start a family for reasons due to our age, and other health reasons. I realize it's going to be quite a challenge to try to attend school and have a family to take care of.

My vote is you can have marriage, keep in mind that there are 2 people in a marriage and you need to invest time into it. You can really have both, go through your master's while looking for your potential wife, and when you've graduated then you can ask her to marry you!

id say go for the masters before anything. women may come and go but your masters will help you for the next 60+ years of your working life and besides you would want to have a good job and money in your pocket before thinking about marriage because its so expensive in these times were living in.. best regards

Masters first

Though some marriages are good for school and studying but many are not.. Take care

FloridaCatGirl agony auntIf I were you, I'd get the Master's degree first. It will be much more difficult to juggle school, work, and a family at the same time, so finish up school first! Good luck!

dirtball agony auntI'd say school first. Marriage gets expensive and time consuming. School will definitely be easier if you're not attached.

TasteofIndia agony auntI don't understand why it is one or another. I am married but finishing up my degree. My partner is incredibly supportive of my education. Your relationship should not challenge your educational goals! If there is a woman who is making you choose between finishing up or marriage, she is probably not the right one for you. Good luck, sweet!

BettyBoup agony auntI would say do the masters first, while you are young. Get your education out of the way, then look for a wife, that is if you don't already have a fiance. If you do have someone in mind to marry, and you are both ready, I don't see why you can't do that before you take your masters. It doesn't have to be one or the other, but it would probably be easier to be singke while you do your degree, just from a purely logical viewpoint. Less distractions from studying.

Your fiance should understand and not pressure you for marriage if a degree is what you want before you do. What is the rush? Tell her you want to wait until you finish your degree and then you can marry.

No reason you can't do both as many people marry and go to school at the same time. Do you have young children..is that why this question is being asked? You may want to wait until your kids are in school to get your advanced degree or your wife can stay home for now if you make good money.

Are you with someone right now you want to marry? That is something you should discuss together when you are figuring out your life plan. Not really a dilemma you face, unless you have been with someone a while who you wish to marry.
