Re: marriage
Of course its a big deal! That’s why people are so cautious and take so much time…just like you.
There is nothing wrong with being single. You can live a good, happy and fulfilled life being single as well. My single life was not lacking in any way. Marriage just came along because I met the right person.
You don’t get married and start to live a happy life immediately. You don’t end up trusting the other person immediately either. You build towards that on a daily basis and that is why marriage takes so much work. You are slowly progressing towards that goal of being best friends.
There have been days I wanted to just punch my husband…he is the most stubborn person I know and I thought I was the most stubborn person I knew. That was before I met him. I am immature, childish and can be careless. So he deals with that.
Despite all of this though, our highs are so high that I don’t want to ever imagine life without him. Both of us have been married before so we know what we have is good. I learn a lot from him and he learns a lot from me.
As for risks…what is life if you don’t take any risks?
