Do I intend to get married? I don't know, maybe?
It depends on how life turns out and if I come across Miss Right.
I'm of the mindset that if I'm getting married it's for life, and not 2 years, so I want to make very certain that she is "the one" before tying the knot.
I hear so many stories (from friends and elsewhere) about bad relationships, short marriages, and just general discontentment when it comes to marriage and long term relationships, and it all compounds to make me a little more skeptical about settling down with one person.
To think about waking up next to and being with the same person EVERY day for the rest of my life is very daunting to me; and for it to work well and be enjoyable, that person has to click almost perfectly, and I think that's tough to find given the diversity of both people and personalities in this country and the world.
I'd rather be single and content than married and "trapped." But if I find Miss Right comes around, then I don't see why not. I definitely don't intend to rush into things, as it doesn't seem to be worth the risk.
