I guess all I'm trying to say is to think about why marriages fail. And to do everything you can to avoid that. Its a bad image on modern society, and I for one don't like it.

Ever have that thought...
Have you ever thought that you just can't wait to get married? Almost every little kid has that thought (after the whole girls have cooties stage). Why has our generation, as adults, walked away from that dream? Yes, I understand I'm only 19 but you can't deny the statistics that half of marriages fail. This thought is always on the back of my mind. I don't want it to be, but it is. Its scary for me, because some of my highest goals are to have a family that not only I'm proud of, but is proud of me. I live my life in a way that I think other people respect, and I'm happy with it so far (not that I foresee that changing). I am so happy that I will one day get married and be able to have kids, like, to be able to have that opportunity... its amazing. I don't want to waste it getting involved in a relationship that I want to end. I've only had 2 girlfriends, and I'm still with the second. I'm happy with her. She makes me a better person by inspiring me to be all that I can be. That's what I expect out of a healthy relationship. It feels really good. Yea there's the ups and downs and everyone says that about relationships but its true. Fighting through it just makes people stronger.

(I hate when you write a comment and it doesn't post.) i know exactly what you're talking about. Whenever i look at my left hand and see my ring, it makes me think of marriage and the commitment that the ring signifies (it's a promise/purity ring btw), it also makes me think of how i am in my relationship. I try and govern my relationship by what i have pondered love to be and by what i have observed from failed or failing marriages/relationships. It depresses me to see all the people that are in relationships for physical gain these days and not for love and companionship. Thank you for this thought provoking post Ryan.
