My marriage rant.

Growing up I always fantasized about the day I would get married and start a family. Now that I am 24 and looking forward to it, I find myself getting extremely pissed at the way people my age are treating the institution of marriage like a joke. As I watch my peers plan for their wedding only to end up in divorce court I can’t help but to ask why they want to go through with it knowing the outcome. Some are doing it because they think it is the only way to give their children a family life but they’re not thinking about how hard it’s going to be to explain to their children that mommy and daddy are getting a divorce. Others are marrying for money or just to throw an extravagant party.

I’m not someone who is against the institution of marriage however I think that love should exist before someone does it. I also think that you must know the individual you’re going to marry and be able to accept who they are because if you’re expecting them to change they are not. The statistics say that the divorce rate amongst young people is extremely high in the 21^st century than the rate of our parents, maybe their parents married for love.
