It gives some very good insight.<BR/><BR/>I myself, after wavering for awhile, have firmly decided not to get married. When it comes down to it, the ceremony and all its trappings is nothing that resonates with me. I don't want to be a wife.

And to some people this is important. To some people tradition and carrying on certain customs or beliefs is very important. But at the same time, customs aren't universal. And religion isn't universal, so marriage doesn't mean the same thing across the Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02643755114331387927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185535.post-47379575195636229092007-02-11T15:22:00.000-06:002007-02-11T15:22:00.000-06:00Yes, I think it was... ;) I was actually going to...Yes, I think it was... ;) I was actually going to ask you what some of the books you read were!

Today, I think: There's what marriage actually is, and there's what marriage should be. They are definitely not the same, and that's really a sad and uncomfortable reality, especially as someone who just got married...laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05053524165115011610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185535.post-67277139398892493342007-02-10T19:01:00.000-06:002007-02-10T19:01:00.000-06:00Haha, thanks!
