There is nothing wrong with not being married by the time you reach your thirties, there are loads of people out there who arent married.
It could be that you've never met the right person.

Theres nothing wrong with whatsoever. You need to ask yourself the questions why your previous relationships have not worked out?
Is it a commitment thing or more than that? As long as you know who you are and learnt from any mistakes you or toher people may have made in the past you can only carry on searching for that right person.
30 years old is not THAT old, theres plenty of time to find that someone and settle down and do the family thing if thats what you desire. You dont know what the future holds in store, just be patient and stick to who you are and someone will find you when you least expect it.

It can be bad luck, it can be because there is something wrong with them or it could be that their lives are so busy that they haven't had an opportunity to find the right person. I didn't get married until 33; having dated many frogs in my 20's. As I got older I did find that many of the 30+ men I dated were frankly non-marriage material. They were really bitter about past relationships, commitment-phobes or had loads of personal issues like huge debts I didn't want to take on board. However, dating an assortment of guys up until my early 30's made me fine tune the details on what I really wanted out of a relationship. Then, when I met my now husband I just knew he was perfect for me. So it made up for all those horrible dating experiences beforehand.

The rate of divorce is at an all-time high. A lot of people are trying to avoid it by not getting married at all. Another problem going on is the popularity of sex buddies, and dating around, which has instilled a fear of commitment into people.
As far as failed relationships, it's just mistakes on both sides, or people just don't mesh. It all depends on the situation. If you're 30 and single, there is no problem with that. It just gives you an excuse and time to figure out what you want in a partner, and an excuse to start looking around. You'll be fine. :)
