This isn't about a ring, or a big wedding. I would be happy without one and being married at the courthouse with a reception at Wendy's. I just want to be married. It is important to me because I want to start a family while I am still young so that I can start my older life with him sooner. I do want the joy of kids, and once that happens, I will look forward to the joy of kids moving out. I also think that marriage is important. I don't want to be just a girlfriend at the age of 30 and tell people that we are celebrating our 12th anneversary of "dating."
I think marriage is a beautiful bond, and that it is a statement that says "I love this person and want to be with them for the rest of my life." I don't take it lightly, either. I am not one of those people who think divorce is an option for anything. I know that things happen in people's lives and divorce is a very feasible option for them, but I hope it never happens to me. I don't look down on people that have a divorce, but I do look down on people who say "What the hell? I might as well get married. I can always divorce until I find the right one."
On a side note, things are going better in this department, I think. I will be able to give you more of an update after Xmas.
