Where have I been?????
New goal: POST!
I recently met a woman who got married at age 21 and 11 years later, she's still married. To say I was surprised was an understaement.
I have to admit I used to be against getting married young and I also have to admit that was only because of the societal stigmas surrounding young marriages--they are inexperienced, they rushed love, etc. But, after meeting this super duper woman whose marriage has survived far longer than people who know each other for decades, I changed my mind a bit.
Getting married young has to have its challenges...but doesn't marriage in general have its challenges? I can easily say I don't see myself marrying young as I am 20 years old with zero prospects. Nonetheless, I've stripped myself of that negative sentiment that marrying young is dumb or ill-fated. Love, lifelong love, comes to everyone at different times. Accept and respect.
Love freely,
tY
