Why do so many young people rush into marraiges? Especially when there are so many signs that show them it is not the right thing to do?
I think the idea of marraige is way too sacred to just throw yourself into, and also to just end so easily. And I hate the word divorce.
Why would you marry someone just to settle? Why would you ever just SETTLE for less than you deserve?
I read about many examples of this, but one big example is a co-worker of mine. She's only 20, been with her boyfriend for 3 years, but he does not make her happy, at all. All she does is complain about him. And they aren't living together anymore because she "needs her space". And, she has cheated on him with another co-worker. Yet they are engaged to be married in a few months.
They obviously will not be together forever. Marraige is about forever though! It makes me so mad. I want to tell her that she is just plain stupid. But I know that's mean and uncalled for. But STILL...I mean COME ON! It's like, what the hell are you thinking?
It just makes me mad. I'm excited for the day I get married, if it ever happens, but I am so let down every time I hear another story about a terrible marraige.
I'm not trying to offend anyone by the way! I'm sorry if I do :(

Hi!! 6 months ago I made the decision to get off anxiety medication. I felt ready, life was good! A few weeks after my last dosage, I developed diarrhea. Long story short and after a colonoscopy a few weeks ago I was diagnosed with lymphocytic colitis. Im taking medication which is helping but with the stress of going through this, working from home a year now (due to covid) and not being...
Look at your co-workers background. Maybe she didn't get the proper raising, boundaries and love needed to become a whole and healthy adult. Maybe she's seeking wholeness.
Healthy relationship, healthy marriage. People should look at their relationships RIGHT NOW and ask themselves "am I COMPLETELY happy?". If not, try to talk out what WOULD make them happy. If that doesn't work, DO NOT get married, and break it off before she gets pregnant.
The worst thing in the world is to end up with someone who doesn't rock your world, make you laugh, is attentive to your feelings, have great sex with...whatever your priorities are. Then you wake up 5 years down the line married to this person wondering where the time went and why you're still not happy with them.
