I see a lot of people who are very happy in a traditional marriage. I think that is fantastic. My parents have been married for 25 years. I can see why marriage is something to be cherished but is marriage really something that everyone for all time should enter into? I really can't say yes because I can't imagine being in one relationship for 25 years. Right now (I am 21), that seems like such a time. I find the definitions of family and marriage to be fascinating because of the dynamic qualities they possess. Over the last few decades, we have seen major changes in the types of families who get exposure in the news, TV, radio, movies, print, etc. I grew up in a traditional 2 parent family and am very adjusted but I still have my problems. I can't see myself marrying for a long time (over 5 years) but who knows who might be in my path.
