I am ashamed that my 35 year old daughter earns a lot of money but is not married.

Every time someone asks about my daughter's life, I feel helpless and ashamed; my daughter is talented, has a house, a car, and her own company, but at 35 years old she is still not married.

When my husband and I first got married, our finances were not very good, so we decided to have a family plan when our first daughter was born. When our daughter was in middle school, we wanted to have another child but we tried and tried but failed. After a few years of trying many methods, my husband and I no longer thought about having another child, focusing on getting rich and improving the quality of life of our family.

However, because of our busy work, my husband and I often have to send our child to the grandparents to take care of, and only have time to play with her on Saturdays and Sundays. Thanks to that, my daughter has developed an independent personality. She is very self-disciplined in studying and working, and dresses simply and without fuss.

When she grew up, my daughter made her parents extremely proud when she passed the entrance exam to a top university, then studied for a master's degree and worked for a foreign company, and after a while, opened her own company.

Actually, my husband and I really wanted our daughter to work in an administrative position at a government agency in her home province, or else she would come back to work at her father's or mother's company. However, she did not listen and decided to start her own business in the city where she went to university. Of course, when my daughter started her own business, my husband and I supported her financially.

Time flies by in the blink of an eye, my daughter is 35 years old, now has a house, a car and her own company but still doesn't have a boyfriend. Every time I force her to go on a blind date or urge her to get married, she will say this:"Nowadays, there are many people who don't get married but still live happily and healthily. I'm not the only one, so don't think too much."

Because he is busy, he doesn't come home often so I can only call to ask about life and work.

In my eyes, my daughter's work ability is exceptionally excellent, but her views on marriage and love have serious problems. In the face of her parents' worries and pressure, she doesn't pay any attention or care, treating our words as wind, going in one ear and out the other. Despite our nagging, she still acts as if nothing happened.

So far, my friends' children have all gotten married and had grandchildren, but my child remains calm. Every time relatives and acquaintances ask about my child's life, I feel especially helpless and ashamed.

My husband and I used to work very hard to develop our careers for two main reasons; first, to make our parents proud of us, and second, to give our daughter the most solid economic foundation possible, creating the premise for her to have an easier life. Now, seeing my daughter still single at the age of 35, I suddenly realized that earning too much money is useless.

During this time, I showed signs of a nervous breakdown, occasionally calling my daughter to quickly find a partner to marry and have children. At first, my daughter patiently talked to me about this issue, but recently, her attitude has become extremely decisive. Every time I bring up the subject of love, she will quickly hang up, saying she is busy at work.

I want to ask, as a parent, what should I do to make my daughter understand that marriage is very important, put love and marriage at the center of her life plan?
