My friend who is 38 is unable to find a good partner to get married. She earns well, is well settled and is looking for a boy who can spend his future with her keeping her interests and goals in mind. However, most guys she's met either want an educated girl to look after his parents or want someone who will quit her job to raise a family. Is she wrong to have basic expectations and dreams from her future partner?

Ans: She absolutely should know her dealbreakers and negotiables. Finding someone compatible does take time - ask her to not give up on her search - she surely will find someone likeminded. wishing her the best.

My son is 36 years old. Not married yet. He is Learning disabled with specific disability with numbers. Not able to to get a decent job due to his disability.His health condition is ok but got Crohns. He is under medication and may be life long. He is single child and we are more worried about his future after us. Financially there is not much of problem , he can lead a comfortable life after our life.Socially he is an introvert and may not able to live alone.He is refusing to go for counselling. In the above circumstances what we should do? Is it worth looking for a girl for this type of boy . Alternatively how to settle him independently and lead a normal life after our death.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
People with learning challenges and/or auto immune disease (Crohn's) can definitely lead a wonderful life. It is only how the symptoms can be managed and how learning can be enhanced.
A lot of study has gone into these things now and it is possible to get the right advice on this and find career options that your son can be comfortable with as well. He definitely needs to see a counselor who will be able to guide him appropriately along with therapy that will enable him not only to choose a career that is meant for him but also help him manage his symptoms.
It's possible that he has picked up on all the worries from the family for many years and feels that nothing can be done. He can live independently provided he can be given the right guidance and help now and soon...

All the best!

Hi, I am 32 year old male. I have contentment in all major aspects of life such as job, money, friends, family, fun etc. But everytime I try to bring a girl into my life everything just turns in to chaos. There is a lot of pressure from from family, friends and almost everyone that I know for me to get married. But I cannot accept just anyone in my life through matrimony sites or references. I am afraid that the hard work that I have put in all these years to make my life comfortable will be shaken up by marriage. I cannot choose people by their attributes but have to just develop a liking for them. Similarly I have no interest in how a girl looks, what job she does or any material aspects. I am happy with someone who choses me completely and is committed to me. Unfortunately I couldn't find anyone such and I am in the phase of saying no to marriage completely as life is good as it is. I had a girlfriend when I was 25 and she left me after 5 years of relationship because her parents did not accept which I respected. Could connect with anyone else until this year who also left me after an year because her parents will not agree as my parents are not rich enough. I cannot connect with anyone else physically or emotionally. I think it's injustice to the woman I marry if I marry her just for the sake of society. I am completely confused, could you please share your expertise on this. Thanks in advance!
Ans: Dear Anonymous,

It's amazing how you are putting other people's needs over yours. That's very selfless of you. If you don't feel you are ready to commit, there is no rush; no matter what people say. I understand that societal pressure can be very tough, but as you said, being in an incompatible relationship will be tougher on both you and the woman. All I can say here is wait. You are content with your life, and that is more than most people have. Focus on that. Make it even better. If and when the time is right, you will meet someone, and things will fall into place. It might sound cliche, but trust me, this is the best thing to do. Again, I repeat, do not give in to peer pressure. No good things can come out of it.

Best Wishes.
