RE: Marriage? Not for me. Here's why..

in #marriage7 years ago

Hiya! Great meeting you at the CNY Meetup earlier. Always nice to finally put a face to the Steemit ID :)

Been married, been divorced, and now in a healthy relatioship with @deborism. Though we talked about it, but there's certainly no rush in marriage or kids. I already had one, but would love to have one with Debbie too, if chance permit.

I guess what I'm saying is, there is no rush, and the good thing about being divorce, your family members and friends stop rushing you to get married, haha. That makes me think if they are even invested in your relationship sometimes, or just wanna get it over with, like "Oh, at least he's married, or at least he has a family now." I hate that because it sounded that it's a must to get married, like a "badge" to collect. To me, is what you do with the marriage that counts, not the wedding. And what you do with your life that counts, not just the fact you're not dead.

But that's me. Marriage always felt like overly commercialised these days. I hope after the banquet and honeymoon and securing the first home together and having the first child and all, the couple can remember why they were in the relationship in the first place.

I'm totally with you! I think as long as you're doing it for the right reasons and because you truly want to, that's the main thing, @debroism is absolutely awesome! You both are :-) So good to be connected!
