Marriage

A strong vow taken by two people. I call it death sentence because it deals with some strong promises and words like for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health till death do us part. Those are strong words or promises to say. I tell people that marriage is different from dating, marriage is a different ball game entirely. You might be 50years old but aint matured enough for marriage, you might have 6 billion USD or be the owner of Starbucks, Disneyland and Apple all together and still ain't matured for marriage. Marriage is not the wedding gown/tux, it is not the party, it is not how many magazines and TV station covered it or how trending it is. It is much deeper than that. You would have to wake up and live with the same person for the rest of your life. There would be quarrel, hard times, disappointment, doubt etc.

You can always write your own vows and leave the hard stuff out.

Times are changing. People, especially women, are more independent. It requires a commitment of the first order and to live and let live. One should not try to change another against their will. We should give space to each other - siva

You're right age doesn't mean you're ready to take the vow but it's no t that horrible as you say it is. Once you find the right man then there is no fear at all.
