I think a lot of little girls plan for a marriage. I don't think little boys do. I mean, I have met a few boys who truly desire to marry and have a family, but the majority of girls are more indoctrinated towards the goal of marriage as the reason for existence.Is this really what we were born to do, become someone's wife? For too many girls, a wedding band is a true validation of worth, but they're wrong. I'm not sure that the "til death do us part" ideology is realistic. Let's think about this, so many marriages don't work. For some marriages that are still in tact, one or both people are miserable and feel stuck. So, we have this false sense of hope for humanity when we see a married couple that are seemingly truly in love and committed to each other. I'd like to think that there are those lucky people who just have this authentic kismet. Unfortunately, I see more people who truly loathe each other and treat each other with lack of love, and yet, they stay married. Even with those who look filled with bliss in front of you may deal with some very serious compromises within the sanctity of their home. The "I will love you until the day I die" declaration isn't real. Because if your behaviors, the way you speak, the way you gaze at, and the way you move around and with your loved one doesn't express sincere love, adoration, and respect, but instead looks more like contempt, that isn't a marriage, that isn't love.
