interesting article about singlehood before marriage....

some good lines in the article include:

'You're just going to need to get rid of the idea that marriage will make you happy. It won't. Once the initial high wears off, you'll just be you, except with twice as much laundry.

Because ultimately, marriage is not about getting something -- it's about giving it.'

Re: interesting article about singlehood before marriage....

The bottom line is that marriage is just a long-term opportunity to practice loving someone even when they don't deserve it. Because most of the time, your messy, farting, macaroni-and-cheese eating man will not be doing what you want him to. But as you give him love anyway -- because you have made up your mind to transform yourself into a person who is practicing being kind, deep, virtuous, truthful, giving, and most of all, accepting of your own dear self -- you will find that you will experience the very thing you wanted all along:

Love

....Nothing can state this better. this is what its all about. no matter how many times DH gets me upset or I get him upset, its about loving them when they dont deserve it

Loved this article!!! So well put!

I want to send this along to a couple of people who just want to get married NOW! But how do you send it to someone without offending them?
