As a child, I dreamed of the day when I would meet "Prince Charming" and live happily ever after. Then I grew up! Marriage is not for the Pansies or Faint of Heart of this world. You have to roll up your sleeves and learn to work with someone who does everything, from paying the bills to raising children to loading the dishwasher, totally different from you. Then there comes a point in marriage when you think "Marriage shouldn't be this hard. Maybe it will be "greener" if I try it somewhere else." But it's not! I know a lady who tried 6+ times and the men were all the same. It's the ones who decide to stick it out that find that, most often, except for in extreme cases when the person you married turns out to be a total nut job, marriage does have it's benefits. #1 Security! Wives and Children, particularly, are safer in this crazy world, if the original man is around the house. Of course, the original man needs to be at least sane even though he is different and not the threat himself. #2 Self-improvement! I've learned a lot of what I can do better on when I see my husband and children copying me. You don't know how bad something sounds until you have it said back to you. #3 This world is a lonely place without consistent companionship.
For all you married people out there, good luck and carry on! And for you unmarried who are still debating whether or not it is worth it? Don't throw the "baby" out with the dirty bath water.
Sincerely,
Poor Anne
