Whose Opinion Matters?

I, like everyone else who has friends, family, and coworkers, find that I constantly get forceful advice about how I should lead my life. Often times the advice is contradictory to advice/demands I got from someone else.
"You should move out- why is a grown women living with her family?"
"You should stay at home as long as you can, what a wonderful way to be close to your family."
"Why aren't you married?"
"You should get a real job."
"Are you going to do something with your life?"
"You should marry him."
"Oh don't even think of marrying that guy, I don't like him."
I know they are all well meaning, and are trying to help me; because they care, but sometimes hearing peoples opinions expressed forcefully really frustrates me. Why is my job not good enough if I am paid well, enjoy it and have a good position? What if the man I marries, annoys you and a lot of people, but is the man, God has for me?

Which, ultimately gets me to my point- in my life, I would love to be able to please all the people I care about. I would also love if they are thrilled about my decisions. But in the end the one whose opinion matters most? Is God. If I am following his will, well I'm sorry if you don't like my husband, I'm sorry if you don't like what I'm doing with my life. But what matters to him is more important to me. Which, I really hope everyone understands from feeling the same way about their life; because I really hope that they are putting him first.
