Comedian Alan King once said, "If you want to read about love and marriage, you've got to buy two separate books". 

Haha, very funny Alan.

That's sarcasm at its finest if you didn't sense it. How can these two words NOT be associated with each other? We live in a world where individuals constantly whine and complain about how marriages are so dysfunctional. As 'normal' humans, we conform with society and find it okay to file divorces as if they were our taxes. 

Just the thought about marriage right now scares the living shit out of me, but I do know, in time, i will eventually go down that path. What can I say? I'm a sucker for love. A sucker for LOVE, i said. This love thing should always lead to marriage, because marriage puts the stamp on the envelop. 

Yes we all have our definitions for marriage and reasons why we should get married. Some may be motivated financially, some because they believe it's 'time' to settle down etc, etc. 

"Its time to settle down"

How do we know when that time is? We spend our lives soul searching and apparently now, we have a time limit? Just because we've reached the age of 30, the next person we date, we're gonna 'settle down' with that person? Why is he/she so lucky (or not)? We've created an awful mentality for ourselves. Marriage is a big step. We can't tip toe through this stepping stone. 

I'd marry someone because I can't live my life without her. I'd marry someone because I can't help but smile every time i look at her, every time we fight, and every second i spend with her. I'd marry someone because i love that person. No other aspect should interfere with my decision. 

Whatever happen to plain old i love you, you love me, lets get married!?
