Is it the age?

[double_negative]

I guess marriage has been on my mind a bit lately. Ok, more than a bit. Alright a bunch. I'm sure it has something to do with the insane number of people around me getting married and or having children, but man...

Do you want to get married? Why? To who? Do you know?

And if you do know... when is the right time to do it?

Agh for distance!

I think that when you feel that you love someone more than you could ever love anyone, and you feel that you can spend the rest of your life with them and be happy then that is the right time to get married... I have always thought of marriage (like every little girl)... I want to get married bc I am over the dating people, I want to know that the guy I am with loves me as much as I love him and that we cannot live without eachother... I honestly don't know to who... I would love to marry my bf because we have so much in common, what we like to do in our free time, who our friends are, the way we want to raise our kids, and so on, but I don't think it will happen any time soon for me! Well, I love you girl, and you will make a beautiful bride some day, whenever that is! Plus, I hope to be there!

I want to get married someday and have kids as well but I don't want to do it now. Other than the fact that I'm not dating anyone at the moment my primary reason for not wanting to marry in the next year or two is because I want to continue with my schooling. Full-study is time absorbing as it is and having to support yourself while studying is only that much harder; I can't imagine having to finacially, emotionally, and socially support another human being as well as myself while carrying a full academic class load. Although I am slated to graduated in December I can't imagine getting married shortly after that, either. I've personally never had the chance to do the single-life-on-my-own thing; I've always been buffered by my parents and dorm life. I think that experiencing that step is an important part of growing up or, at the very least, a part I personally want to experience before I get married.

I just saw The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and it makes me want to fall in love...

But I don't know that I'm ready for a marriage... to be the head-of-house... it's a big responsibility... especially spiritually...

But, yeah, I want a someone to love; "not helpless, but wanting to be saved, like a damsel in distress..."

I think I want the "head-of-house" responsibility to be a shared thing... make sense? It probably stems from my family life.

Personally, I'm more concerned about the Biblical model for marriage than what I want for my marriage...

It's an interesting dichotomy (sp?) because the man is the figurative head of the body of the marriage, just as Christ is the head of the church. So, the man is "in charge" of the body, and responsible for it, and yet he must serve the body because it serves himself good to do so.

That's what I long to do, love and serve someone.

F*ck marriage...haha J/K

Some days I woder if marriage will ever be for me. The fantasy wedding is something I think about occasionally but I don't really consider the groom or life after "I do".

It's funny if you had asked me few years ago I'd have a few ideas. If you had asked me a year ago I could have told you what I wanted my wedding to be like (after Anita's wedding in AL)Right now, I don't see myself settling down anytime soon. There is way too much I want to do still.

I want to get married (nevermind the fact that I don't even have a boyfriend) and I keep having dreams about being pregnant (and one about all of LQHS and UCSD getting killed by aliens... but anyway...) and I know for a fact that I'm not anywhere near that point (I have WAY too much to do) but every girl (and by all these comments, every man) dreams about getting married someday and I'm no different. Love you!
