Marriage

Post by elach » Feb 23rd, '10, 13:37

How do you know you are ready to marry?
How do you know that this is the person you want to marry, and will be happy with for the rest of your life?

There will be a lot of people to give you their opinion about the one you want to marry, you can chose to listen or ignore but in the end it will be up to you to take the leap of faith. Waiting doesn't hurt, live a little longer together if possible.

If you have to ask this question, you're not ready.

imagin the consequenses, like : "this is the person you´ll wake up next to, for the rest of your life" or "this is the person your kids will call mommy/daddy"

if these thoughts aren´t scary,but happy, then you are ready

No, fairy tales DO exits, but there is always a bad Witch in it.
Or Prince turns out to be extremely stupid.

Maybe not for you. It doesn't hurt to dream.

They say marriage is an institution. They also say prisons are instiutions too. Both have life sentences that could end with death. Till death do you part, the death penalty. Coincidence... hmm maybe some things to think about.

But you go to prison for doing something wrong. And marriage?
Or maybe I am mistaken? Well, one can go to prison for being framed. Just like in marriage, heheheee:D

fairy tale or not you write your won fairy tale. It's usually when some outsider has an opinion about your relationship.

But if you base your fairy tale on other characters it never works. it can be the same characters but different story depending on the teller. Look at exhibit A for example.

all i got to say is that fairytales (prince charming will come rescue me from my horrible life) dont exist. you make it happen yourself.

be sure u are not getting married coz it's time (been dating for 3 years..etc) or got a kid together..etc, coz divorces arent cheap

Divorces may not be cheap but shovels and lye are pretty cheap when you shop at Home Depot

Knowing you are ready for marriage is like finding the final piece of a jigsaw puzzle. Once it's finished you feel very satisfied. Same thing with finding the right person. It just feels so right and everything is complete.

If you are still wondering if it's right then you are not ready and it is not yet the right person.

I think Beyonce sums it up best


All the single ladies [x7]
Now put your hands up
Up in the club, just broke up
I'm doing my own little thing
He decided to dip, but now you wanna trip
Cause another brother noticed me
I'm up on him, he up on me
Don't pay him any attention
Cried my tears, for three good years
Ya can't be mad at me

[Chorus: x2]
Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
Ooo, ooooo, oooo

I put gloss on my lips, a man on my hips
Fit me tighter than my in my Dereon jeans
Acting up, drank in my cup
I could care less what you think
I need no permission, did I mention
Don't pay him any attention
Cause you had your turn
But now you gonna learn
What it really feels to miss me

[Chorus x2]

Don't treat me 2 the things of the world
I'm not that kind of girl
Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve
He's a man that makes me then takes me
And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond
Pull me into your arms
Say I'm the one you want
If you don't, you'll be alone
Like a ghost
I'll be gone

All the single ladies [x7]
Now put your hands up
Ooo, ooooo, oooo, ooo

one must find happiness within oneself before finding in others. true love is when u dont mind giving more than u receive. which is hard to do, given that we are pretty selfish.

but if u cannot be happy by yourself, should not get married and try to find it there, coz u will only bring the other person down.
