But if you want to get married, it's not wrong too. If you are happy and want to get married, it's totally upto you. No one can decide this for you. Some people choose to get married and do good kamma first, they believe after they do good enough kamma then one day in some life they will renounce, but in my view you should strive now, you should skip marriage, but if you are going to stay home and practice masturbation, it's better to get married, but if you are serious and wants to be a monk one day, then you should already start keeping sila 8, else it's like impossible to be a monk if you can't even refrain from sexual activity, can't stop eating at forbidden time and can't stop listening to music.
Good luck with your life.
should I marry or be single?
Balancing family life and the Dhamma, in pursuit of a happy lay life.
