Marriage

Another lovely feature about females that I possess is the fact that I have dreamed and planned out my wedding a thousand times over since I was in middle school. To this day, I have kept to the same color pallet (NO I'm not putting it on here so someone can steal it!...though if you know me, it's kind of obvious), however the groom has changed quite a bit...lol. Nonetheless, plenty of females dream about their wedding day and how marriage will be. Growing up, marriage was between a male and a female, loving each other till death due them part......yea about that.
Growing up, (not gunna lie) I was a secluded little one, so when I found out there was such thing as a "gay person" it blew my mind...like what, they all of a sudden appeared? NOW governments are allowing civil marriages?? Hellooooo definitely mind blowing. Again, growing up, I was (and proudly am) a Roman Catholic. Marriages are a man and a woman, no divorcing, no babies before marriage, no sex before marriage, etc. For a long time, I agreed with it all, but my outlook has definitely changed.
It wasn't until I hit college that I realized there are a lot of gay people in the world, but one thing I failed to realize was they are capable of loving and being loved as well. Now, I'm not gunna lie, seeing a couple of the same sex together does make me feel a tad uncomfortable, but when I DO see these couples, they seem like they're more in love than heterosexual couples. I LOVE LOVE LOVE all of my homosexual friends and to think that they aren't allowed to marry the person they love really does break my heart. How are they supposedly destroying the meaning of marriage when we have marriages that last freakin' hours??
I look at it like this: The definition of marriage to me means "The union of two people, to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life", but the first definition that comes up when searched is this: "the state of being a married couple voluntarily joined for life (or until divorce)"...WTF. Since when was divorce part of the marriage lifestyle...oh we love each other...oh we're getting married....oh I'm too lazy to work through things...oh it's divorce time. The true meaning of marriage is definitely loving someone no matter what...being with that person TIL DEATH DO YOU PART...no oh I'm tired of you I'm gunna go sleep with another hoe, etc. etc. In the end, WE AS HETEROSEXUAL marriages are destroying the true meaning of being married. But why is this??
In my opinion, Americans are lazy and greedy. Period. Done. End of story. We are too lazy to work through problems by COMMUNICATING, putting forth the effort and nurturing a relationship needs. Instead, we get caught up in the fast paced life we live as Americans and forget about family, love, and happiness. I completely understand other circumstances such as abusive marriages and what not...my advice, get out. But if honestly, if you haven't tried everything to save the marriage, don't end it...you got married for a reason, right?
Now with everything being said, I still cannot wait for my wedding day and marriage in general. Being able to give your all to one person for the rest of your life and get it back in return...I'm sure is the best feeling in the world.
