Hello! It seems like you're a bit uncertain about your love life.
You haven't found the ideal partner yet, which makes you a little unsure of your views on marriage. On the other hand, you don't want to marry just to please your parents. You're torn between these two conflicting feelings. We understand how you feel!
What does marriage mean to you?
It's evident that you have a beautiful vision of marriage. You're seeking a lifelong bond of love, and while you haven't yet met your ideal partner, it's clear that this is your spiritual pursuit.
You're looking for love and a soul mate with the same level and similar thoughts. With this spiritual pursuit, what kind of life do you expect marriage to bring you?
You haven't found your ideal partner yet, and your parents are pushing you to get married. You're thinking about not pursuing love anymore and just getting the marriage done as a task first.
If you see marriage as a task, who gave you this task? What do you think completing this task will bring you?
What kind of life can this marriage for the purpose of completing a task bring you?
No matter what you choose, marriage is the most important thing in your life. Your decision will affect how you spend the rest of your life.
This life is all about you. You're the only one who gets to experience the sweetness and bitterness of it. So when you say that it doesn't matter if it doesn't work out or if you break up, have you really thought about setting such a high risk factor for your future?
How do we balance our vision with reality?
I think you're missing a few key factors here.
You said you want to find someone you can be with through thick and thin until old age. You also said you want to find a soul mate with the same level of thinking and a common mindset. That's a beautiful vision, and there's nothing wrong with it.
You said that if you can't find someone you really like, it's enough to find someone who is upright, kind, honest, reliable, and can take care of each other, respect each other, and support each other. I'm a bit confused because I don't see why someone who is upright, kind, honest, reliable, and can take care of each other, respect each other, and support each other isn't worth liking.
You said that if you can't find someone you really like, it's fine to find someone who is honest, kind, reliable, and can take care of each other, respect each other, and support each other. I'm a bit confused, though, because I don't understand why someone who is honest, kind, reliable, and can take care of each other, respect each other, and support each other isn't worth liking.
It seems like the level you mentioned, with the same mindset, is lacking a bit of concrete content, which makes the search process a bit directionless.

You can link your thoughts to specific factors like personality, character, and abilities to figure out what kind of person you like. This will help you see things more clearly so you don't miss out on the right person when you meet them.

Marriage and love are two different things. Love is always changing, and no matter how much you love someone, you still need to work at it. In a long-term marriage, it's more important to get along with each other, care for each other, respect each other, and support each other than to simply love each other.
Marriage and love are two different things. Love is always changing, and no matter how much you love someone, it still needs to be worked on. In a long-term marriage, getting along with each other, caring for each other, respecting each other, and supporting each other is more important and a more stable foundation.
Make sure you bring what you want from a marriage into your relationship and then see if it's a good fit.
It's a lifelong process to grow up.
You say that if you can't find a suitable partner, you can focus on improving yourself and becoming strong enough to stand on your own two feet. This kind of thinking is very valuable and worthy of recognition.
But this self-improvement has nothing to do with what kind of partner you find. It's something you have to work on yourself.
Finding a suitable partner means always trying to improve yourself and become a better person. It's important to stay in sync with your partner to keep the relationship strong. If one person stops trying, it can negatively impact the relationship.
You say you feel a bit inferior and are afraid to take the initiative to find your destiny, so you're just waiting around. It seems like your sense of self-worth is a little low, which makes you lack confidence in relationships.
Instead of waiting around, you might want to consider growing as quickly as possible. If you do, you'll attract the right opportunities.
If you focus on improving yourself, you'll have a clearer direction for the future. Your inner strength will give you the courage to pursue what you want, and you'll attract better people to come to your side.
I hope this is helpful. I'm Teng Ying, a psychological counselor. Best of luck to you!

I understand your feelings deeply. It's true that as we grow older, the pressure to conform to societal norms like marriage can be overwhelming. You've waited for love and it hasn't come in the way you imagined, and now you're considering a different path. I think it's important to honor your own needs and desires. Maybe it's time to redefine what love and partnership mean to you, without giving up on finding someone who truly complements you.
It's completely valid to feel pressured and confused about your views on marriage. Society often paints this picture of love and marriage that might not resonate with everyone's reality. If you choose to marry someone based on mutual respect and support rather than an idealized notion of love, that's a personal choice. There's no right or wrong here, only what feels right for you at this stage of your life. Perhaps focusing on personal growth and independence is the best foundation for any relationship you enter.
Your thoughts reflect a shift from waiting for fate to taking control of your own happiness. It's okay to compromise on the idea of a soulmate if it means finding peace and contentment in a stable partnership. Marriage doesn't have to be sacred or perfect; it can simply be a journey of two people growing together. Prioritizing values like kindness and reliability over an intense connection might lead to a fulfilling life, even if it's not what you originally envisioned. Embrace the change and see where it takes you.
