To crave marriage

I have always wanted to get married and to start my life. Everyone tells me to slow down and enjoy my childhood (I’m 17), but I really want to make my future. I love the thought of being married and I always think about it. I really want to get married and I am willing to do so much for it right now.

    Loving the thought of it and aspiring to it sounds fine, but "I am willing to do so much for it right now" is worrying. Marriage is amazing IF you take your time to find the right person to marry. If you marry the wrong person then it is fucking awful and turns into a huge mess.

    Please don't rush into anything. You can't just walk away from a marriage. There's a lot to untangle and it can take years.

      Yep, if you marry the wrong person and have kids with them, you're gonna lose many years of your life

    You'll need both mental and emotional maturity first.

    Keep things like healthcare, debt, and credit before you jump in.

    I say it’s a normal thing to think about, but I advise making sure you’re ready before going through with it

    "If marriage didn't exist, would you invent it? Would you go "Baby, this shit we got together? It's so good we gotta get the government in on it. We can't just share this commitment between us. We need judges & lawyers involved in this shit"

      I think you’re normal chuy. And my opinion is the only one that matters.

      This way you won’t be bogged down with a spouse and will have plenty of time to plan half of their divorce parties in 12 years or so.

          I gathered, I just felt that as someone else who doesn’t want to be bound in holy matrimony I should give my support.

    Why does your life have to “start” with a partner? Your life started the second you left the uterus.

    Wanting to fall in love one day is normal but you need to live your own life and learn how to be happy independent of others. Expecting a future partner to swoop in and save you from a disappointing life is an unfair expectation.

    I'm a person who's defended child marriage, and even I say, slow down and wait. At least find someone you want to marry before thinking about marriage.

      How the fuck you defend child marriage and oppose divorce?

        There's no religious or moral basis to restrict it, while divorce is clearly against my religion.

            "Catholic shit" is not an effective insult.

              Nor is threatening people with judgment by an imaginary friend, but yet...

              "No moral reason" against child marriage...jesus fucking christ.
