Do you think marriage is still as important as ever?
Yes it certainly is in my country I think the problem for some people is a lack of commitment all relationshipshave their ups and downs. but some people prefer tobreak uprather thanworking atthe relationship.

What do you think is the ideal time to get married?
Personally I think you should wait until youve found yourself first decided if you want a career perhaps do some travelling you should do this beforetying the knot although if youfall head over heels in loveplans like these can easily be forgotten.

Is it important to keep in contact with our friends when were in a relationship?
Absolutely its so easy todrift apartfrom your friends when youfall in love but I think both partners should try notto lose touch withtheir friends thats the best way to have ahealthy relationshipwith your partner.
