The only part I'm looking forward to is the dress. Having done bridal shows and bridal photoshoots, I look incredible in wedding dresses. Personally, I do want to get married. Once. That said, it's going to be a sure thing when I finally decide to do so. When did the person to whom you're getting married stop mattering?

Personally, I do want to get married. Once.
That said, it’s going to be a sure thing when I finally decide to do so.
When did the person to whom you’re getting married stop mattering?

Some it is for the stability and it may be just for that and they may learn to love one another. Others are "in love" with the idea of marriage not knowing that it takes work, but when done right and with help, doesn't feel like work and even the hardest moments seem easy in comparison but it's because they work through the tough times together supporting one another. But even men are infatuated by the ideal of marriage and will often "settle" because of this concept. I personally am not yet married, but like the author of this blog, I have dreamt of being able to one day share my life with another being and from that union bring children into our world and find great joy in that. I have family pressing me about when I'll find someone and "settle down" and I just say it isn't meant to be yet, or I put on me super smart-ass hat and say "that once the goverment issues me one, then I'll have one." But it's about being in the right moment and having it just work out without forcing it. Life is about experience. I'm not saying you should actively seek a compatible companion, but you should be cautious (just a tad) about the true feelings for the person and perhaps why. With all things in life, be sure you're doing it for the right reasons. just my input I agree with a number of the previous comments in that in America and other places in the world, the reason a woman choses, desires, longs for marriage will vary.

I was inspired by the interview with Elizabeth Gilbert to write this one up so I can hardly claim complete originality. Love the lego comment. Women can make you feel like you are the only one in the world, make one mistake, and suddenly, someones taking up the parking space that used to be yours. And all that for not remembering what she wore the night you met! I guess that means you don't love her. Trueman, you are welcome ANYTIME to reference the blog.

Women love the concept of marriage, not necessarily being married to someone. If she could substitute your ass like a lego, take the red one out, replace with a blue one, she would.

To be even more explicit, people link the grandiosity of the wedding with how much one loves the other person. Neither Elizabeth Gilbert nor myself are suggesting not to get married. We are simply saying, let's hold back until we feel ready and not because our childhood best friend got married at 20 and therefore so shall we, yet we find people getting married for no better reason all the time!
