I've just been doing some thinking..

You know, it's crazy. When your doing the morally right thing, and the thing that makes youhappy. The world argues with you, and tries to convince you to do everything it's way. It's acceptable for others to be dating, have sex, and live together for months, or even years on end. Have children outside of marriage, and anything else like that. That'

Each to his own. You have your ideas, and ideals, and they have their's. Live your life the way you want to and the way it seems right, but don't judge others on the way they live their own lives either - regardless of whether they judge you. Some people don't 'believe' in marriage yet still have that level of commitment and intimacy - that love. Others aren't recognised in the same way the two of you may be. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great for the both of you, but there are different ways of thinking. Don't let it get to you if they don't agree or see it, you're doing the right thing by yourself and that's all that matters.

Hey-oh.. I've been meaning to comment on your stuff for a while, just haven't gotten around to it.

Let's think of some statistics here.. the marriage rate in Oklahoma is 1 to 1. One person out of 2 is staying married in this state...or something like that.. whatever. Bottom line is, the world doesn't know what they're talking about. I'm a living testament, and have been married for almost 5 years. If you're happy with that person, and can see yourself with them in 30 years... then it's a good choice! If you love each other, and it's not simply infatuation, it's the perfect choice. As for god in your marriage, cords of three strands are stronger than those of only two. My husband and I are studying with Jehovah's Witnesses and our lives are nothing but better from it. It's amazing what a little family study, prayer and meeting attendance will do for a couple. So keep at it I say!

Thank you everyone. It's nice to have a little support. Some of my friends have been well..not so hot on me getting married so soon. I'm glad not everyone is agaisn't us! We really do love each other and want to spend the rest of our lives together..so yeah. ^^;;

Re: Thank you.

Ne, Bonnie-chan, just because a friend "isn't so hot" on you getting married so soon doesn't mean they're against you or your husband-to-be. It means that they have valid concerns and are worried about you. I still think that, if you and Matt have prayed together and truly believe that this is what God wants for your life together, then you should go for it. However, don't just dismiss your friends' concerns about you because they don't agree with what you think. *snugs* Hard to say, harder to hear, I know, but 'tis true.

Forgot to add this..:)
