Praying4a99 I think that there was not one reason for my divorced but many and I can tell that our jobs had anything to do with it. Maybe we were very young for so many responsabilities and after a while we realized that we were different in so many aspects that living together become a nightmare. But I can tell anyway that not everyone can handle the night shifts in the hospitals, my ex-husband handled that but was very jealous about night shifts

very good question! it is something that always comes up in conversations with my friends and classmates.
Personally, I think that marriage is an important step, that needs two partners that have the maturity and compassion capable of it. I think that before 23 is a little young, but it depends on the situation. Older generations married younger, and it seemed not to be a bad thing. BUt these days when I hear of people marrying at 18 or 20, I just think "omg , isn't it hard, i just think they must be kids still".
but i think this is bc im only 23 myself. And i assume i would be in their shoes, and just struggling to work out my own career, and dealing with my husband, and his familys concerns at the same time.
But it depends on what the person is doing in their life. and if they are ready to take on that challenge. I think I am a little cynical but some marriages where it just turned frmo a fling to a marriage overnight, i am pretty skeptical and assume it wont last very long.
Personally, I will be done clinicals within a year, and starting residency (hopefully) and be settled in a practice god willing, by 28. i think that, by the time im 2nd year resident, 25ish, I will be looking to get engaged. Because, I will have an idea on my career, where I will be living, how much money I will be making, I will be mentally secure with my life. I also think, that it will be a stressful time, but one worth it.
I would prefer to wait once my clinic is set up, but I want to be not too far from my kids ages. I have older parents and it depresses me that they are getting so old. Whereas my friends whose parents married in their 18's, are so young, and ready to go exploring lol.
I think there are so many factors that come into play. also, how many kids, how far apart their ages. i give mad respect to women who have kids close in ages, i think its so hard. esp, one after another. geez. talk about stressing out the mother.
my ideal mate is a doctor , because I want us to both be succesfful, saving lives, and helping those less fortunate. But than again, any profession can do that. I prefer a doctor so we have similar interests,easy things to talk about, and we understand eachothers hardships. but i do worry, about how busy we'll both be, and taking out time for the family.
also my parents are hardcore indian, and wont let me marry anyone except a indian doctor boy! lol.

oh and about opposite religions, i think its okay to do.
personally-my parents would never ever allow it. and as they control most of my life, i couldnt do that to them, because i would be disowned!
but, after being in a relationship with someone with completely opposite views on life and religion. I am very spiritual, he is atheist- i find it very hard to do so. We constantly butt heads, but it depends on the person's nature. if you can accept them, and you can learn to disagree its fine. but if you will hold it against them or feel like its something holding you back , it wont work.
i think we all know whats best for us, deep down. our parents have always had highstandards for us, and thats what we need to uphold. we sometimes sell ourselves short, for fear there is no one else out there. but i truly believe in god, and things working out for everyone , esp for a reason. I think that, we need to meet alot of people in life, that will teach us the errors in our ways, to give us pain, and heart break, to cheat us, hurt us, so when our soulmate meets us, we appreciate them truly for what they are. How can we appreciate the good in something, if we haven't seen the terrible possibilities in others?!
we will always have regrets, questions, but if your not going against your hard set values, or your priorities, i think you have little to lose in the end. we might cry, and pain now- but we truly will laugh about it one day. i guarantee it!

Very similar to my plan and situation.

I totally agree with starbrite. You are not supposed to buy the first apple you get on the stand! Touch some, smell some others... You increase the chance of choosing the best one...
