I Do

Let me start off this post with saying that I personally am not married.
Nor is it likely that I will be in the near future...at least as far as I know.

With that being said you are probably asking yourselves...sooo why are you writing about it then?

Be patient.
Like all my entries I have a point.

I've found that I come from a society where marriage (at least media-wise) is not as highly favored as it once was.

In some instances it would seem that some people would deem marriage a let down. I suppose if one has his or her mind set in that way then it probably will be. Then again, these thoughts can arise from different, more serious, situations as well...

(Of course there is the polar opposite of things...I went to a college where engagement was as common as turning in a homework assignment. Some girls even went there just so they could find a husband. But I digress)

What about the good that can come out of marriage? I have a lot of respect for those couples who are married (not that I don't have any for those who aren't, it's just a different kind). Two people who share a promise to stay committed to each other for the rest of their lives, even when times turn sour. Two people who think of not only themselves but each other. Two people who cheer on and take care of each other. Two people who can fight, bicker, and have completely different opinions but still love each other despite it all.

I don't know about you, but I think that sounds pretty fabulous.
