A little disclaimer before I start. Anyone who is in a committed relationship and it works for you, rock on! I'm just reacting to a few reports I've heard is all........ :)
All my life I have wanted to be married. When I was 14 I met a guy who became my dream. He could sing, had blue eyes and was brunette and he had the most beautiful smile blah blah. From then on I knew I wanted to be a wife. And one day I became a princess and the rest is history as they say. I've also learned marriage is hard but rewarding work. Those ideals being said....why does everyone not want to be married? I'm not one who focuses on celebrities and their lives, but channel surfing the other day I heard some commentator giving his view on why so many in the Hollywood world doesn't want to get married. I had to agree. I've heard a lot of A-Lister's say in the last few months..."Having a Spiritual Connection and Commitments is all we need. No need to get a piece of paper to say we're married when we know were each other heart lies..." I thought to my self, are you kidding? If your living together, sharing and income and working towards the goal of having a great wonderful family life with dependants(children, dogs, other family members) why not get married? You're playing house anyway, might as well get some matching jewelery out of the deal.
I think taking the plunge and getting married is a great example to the children that have come from that commitment and I'm not sure why so many people, women in particular want to make sure a strong stance about not being married! Halle Berry; never again she says. Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carey; our relationship is great and wonderful without a piece of paper(both of them are divorcees). I love and applaud any couple that is willing to acknowledge Heavenly Father in their relationship, but I think it would make Him even more happy if they would get married. Marriage is hard, but why not go through the struggles and rewards of life with someone you know is going to be there. Or, if they get married, don't say you're married just say your domestic partnership now has a tax deduction. Something clever. Our wise older generation seems so disappointed in the direction of the world and is just hoping that some of us "youngsters" will do a few things that they did. Either way I wish that Hollywood would sometimes give a little more credit to marriages that work and work hard on keeping great relationships going after children!
