Which is more important marriage or career?

Both, as they supplement each other, even Ratan Tata says the same..

So, don't get married ever...continue with your career...

He he he.. Nice one cmvt..

There is no one right answer to this.  All depends what is your priority in life.  You need to trade-off between family and career.

In my opinion, at least one (and it need not be the woman always) has to have child-care as his/her first priority so that the other can concentrate more on earning. (And both the tasts are equally challenging). But  a balance can certainly be achieved. (Like one of the partners working part-time and taking care of home). But you need to be contented with the balance. You can’t have best of both worlds always. You can have your tea with more milk and less tea (milky tea), or less milk and more tea (semi-black tea), but you can’t have a tea which has more milk and more tea.  You must know what is your taste before ordering the tea.

And just curious to know….....why your friend who repent getting married, haven’t yet filed for divorceyet???? 

Believe me marriage has its own sets of gifts… may be your friends have just taken them for granted or they are’t telling you….

The best answer is "To each his/her own"

Do whatever you want to do 

Then blog about it...would love to read your experience  

Marriage :s

marriage is a honey trap.............

Both. Being independent is as important as being part of a family. Those who think that the current job is too hectic should have the guts to take a job with less work pressure even though that job pays less. something is better than nothing.

Each person has his own priorities. Just because I may prefer career over marriage or vice versa, it does not mean that one cannot choose to have both. 

It's up to personal choice. I know women who blame marriage for having to give up their careers and I also know women managing both perfectly well. Your outlook is the one that determines the path you choose.

I think i am one of the most eligible ones to comment and my advice i am sure can help greatly, but it doesn't come free. I have opened a shop, "the advice shop" anyone who feels the need of advice I am present. I hope this isn't ssp. God knows my intentions. Amen.

Don't get married, don't marry and don't marry. Carry on with career, career and careers .

Its like asking who do u think is more important - your mother or father? I think while it depends from person to person for me I cant choose what is more important. Both are like water and air to me

Just 2-3 days back, I have had conversation in a whatsApp group on this. A girl was cribbing(?), how girls always have to sacrifice career after marriage. How uneven it is. And how does even independent,educated women leave their career, in the name of Love and family. Her point was that, society is so patriarchal that girls are forced to ditch career after marriage. I had a hard time convincing her that most of the times it's true, but many times girls willingly do it! They willingly let go off career due to either their genuiene love for her husband, or for her kids. She was not convinced with the genuine love angle. And she was of the opinion that an independent, educated, earning girl can NEVER leave her career willingly, without being forced. I had a very difficult time arguing.

Then finally, a girl only came to my rescue, she explained that there are many kinds of girls- one set of girls no longer wishes to work after marriage (even though no pressure), their intention and wish is to enjoy at someone else's money; another set of girls, who don't work willingly in order to give time to child/family, and then yet another, who are forced NOT to work post marriage.... and then yet another set of girls who manage to do both!!

And I was like "Bingo!!", this couldn't have been explained better! So basically, that's the sad part of marriage, changes, accomodations, compromises have to be made by both the parties. Now who makes more accomodations, is another  thing. (one girl corrected me that "compromise" is a wrong term. If you are "compromising" post-marriage, then there is no love left in the marriage!!).

From my point of view, the best would be that the women or man, any one of them could leave their job for a couple of years, post having kids. A child's formative years is very crucial. Proper nutrition and care is very important. After the child attains 4-5 yrs of age, both couples could start working again, juggling job and family together.

Marry someone who respects your wishes, your dreams and if it's making career then that too. So, question isn't really about marriage/career , it's about marrying the right person or not.  Just my opinion. I have friends who are married & are still working in MNCs happily even there in-law's are supportive. 

It is purely subjective. Experiences vary greatly from person to person. There is no concrete rule. Just the luck of the draw. 

It varies from person to person....some folks are very supportive while others are not !! Ppl change and so do their priorities.....

To add my two bits to this conversation - It depends on what you want and who you marry.

If your partner recognizes your dreams and aspirations and encourages you to follow them, marriage is a good deal. But if no one from that side of the family is willing to support you then it's a struggle. 

Things get more complicated when you have a child. The trick is to not try being the 'ideal' mother as defined traditionally but to carve your own path and have your partner on your side. If that doesn't happen, re-evaluate what is more important to you, take steps in that direction and live by  your decisions.
