In my opinion I feel that the act of marrying someone is something that we must give serious thought to. I someday hope to marry, but not anytime soon. The fact is that marriage is not meant to be a form of producing children, or anything related to children. Marriage is not a way to have a constant amount of secure safe sex. Marriage is the process of unifying our selves with someone, and wanting to live with them, because we love them, and we want to be with them for the rest of our life. Now, wanting to be with them and loving them is not enough to make a marriage succeed. For it to succeed there has to be mutual respect, and a fifty fifty collaboration on everything you do. There is no reason why a woman should cook everyday of the week, many men often think that having a spouse is a way to secure and facilitate their life, which is sad, because the love wears out, and women begin to get tired of serving the “man”. (This could be applied backwards, with the man serving the woman).

The fact is that in the past women were supposed to stick to their husbands, regardless if they were moronic d*cks. Who only cared about themselves. Luckily now days, women are able to care for themselves, and we as a society accept that. Which gives women more leverage to leave men, and thus why we see more divorces.

I have personally seen some marriages in which women have to stick to men, who yell at them because they (woman) can’t support themselves, or because of the children, the reality is that everyone should be happy in life, and sometimes marriage proves impossible.

Another reality is that many, many people including woman don’t have the personality required for a good marriage. I have seen my fare share of demanding, and bossy girls, who would never make it in a marriage, unless they changed their ways. One also has to be careful because most people tend not to be themselves while you date, and once you get married to them you start seeing who they truly are. Too Late. Thus why you want to get to know the other person really well, and if possible live with them before marriage. I personally don’t see marriage as a great deal, because if you were meant to be with someone, all you have to do is prove it to your partner and yourself.

It is obviously more complicated than this, what’s good is that I’m young and have an idea of what I want in marriage, (not that I want it anytime soon, part of having a good marriage is going and having fun by yourself for a long long time.) I also wont get married to the first girl I see, because I don’t want to make my life a living hell. If I do see the right girl then I’ll marry her, if I don’t then I’ll stay single, there is no shame in being single. It is better than being miserable.
