I can sympathize with 32 and unmarried. I have 3 very marriage reluctant sons in their late twenties and early thirties.

This is what I tell them. First be a man and then marry someone with self confidence that you respect. If you are looking for someone to reafirm your manhood 24/7 you are probably going to be disapointed in marriage.

Women today are busy. They can only dedicate a certain amount of time to bolstering your image of yourself so you had better come into it with a secure knowledge of who you are and who she is.

If you love her for who she is not for how she makes you feel about yourself then it will likely work beautifully.
