About Marriage - Some Talks & Thoughts
Dearie told me that one of our acquaintances - a guy - is going to propose to his girlfriend of 1 year plus, this weekend.
Though I don't really know that guy well, I must say I was pretty taken aback by the news.
To decide to get married takes more than just enough financial ability and commitment. I think it takes a whole lot of courage. Especially to decide that the person you are going to marry is going to stay with you for the rest of your life. He claimed that the girl is the ONE he is looking for. I wonder, is that part of instinct to make such a decision? 1 year plus of relationship, I must say, is a bit too short for marriage. Then again, knowing the possibilities in the world now, it is definitely possible.
I do admire that guy though. At least he is confident enough to take the next step - to progress into the stage of commitment.
Actually, it struck me pretty hard that I am old enough to start a family already. My dad was 23 when my elder sis was born?
The thought of nearing the 'riped' age of getting married pretty much sends some tingles within me. And I say that because if I look at my current situation - financial, stability, character development, etc, I know that I have quite a long way to go.
As much as I want to settle down soon, I want to be successful enough first to be able to settle down soon.
