Since I will be attending my relative's wedding this week, I'm gonna have to prepare myself with the question that will follow. You see, my relative that's going to get married this week is the same age as I am. So can you imagine how many of them folks will be asking the same question over and over again?
Well, I am 23 and I am young. Like when Nicole Kidman married to Tom Cruise at 23, she said " I'm was so young", and then she went on saying like it was the big mistake. I don't want to be like that. I don't want to spend my life wondering if I make the right choice. I don't want to spend the next ten years wondering if I've married the right man.
If I want to get married, of course I want to marry "the one". Most people might be comfortable with the choice their family make for them, but I'm not. When I get married, the reason wouldn't be to avoid adultery. The reason would be because I want to. Life is complicated enough and I want the right person to venture down that road with me, side by side. Not in front of me, not behind me.
Well I'm not saying any young man or woman married at the young age are making a wrong choice. Somewhere along the line, I did encounter some of the old couple that have been together since high school, or married at young age, and it was beautiful relationship. I wouldn't deny the simple thing of whatever they called it as true love. But I haven't been there yet. You see, I've seen some example. Closest example actually. Especially after so many kids. I thought having kids was suppose to bring your family together?
Why did some family, undeniably happy even if they haven't been gifted with a child, and some family, standing on a thin ice, holding it together before someone could break it, even if they have children on any side more than willing to fix that? I am deeply confuse.I have seen so many faulty in marriage that sometimes I don't believe that a piece of paper and an oath that you keep can promise you a happy life. Maybe that's why Brangelina didn't get married. Because even if they love each other, both of them have been in a failed marriage and they have seen what that piece of paper can do to a relationship.
