They say everything in life has a time and place. You should marry by the right time. And when the marriage goes bad, they say your time was wrong. Are we a machine that was created to age until a point and then get married? What about us wanting to get married? What about us finding someone we want to get married to? What about love? No. All you care about is our marriageable age. Otherwise, our bodies will expire. 'You will have problems in bearing a child.' So? Should we rather have a child with a person we will never fall in love with than waiting for someone we would love to raise a child with? What kind of selfish and evil thinking is that? And is life really about becoming a parent? Is it our life’s purpose? To become an unhappy adult raising problematic kids in a home that does not know what love is? I think the world has enough of these sad compromises. A kid deserves happy parents, parents who are in love, not parents who were forced to marry for their age and family pressure.
Stay single as long as you want. Die single, if you don't find anyone, ever. Resist. Fight. But don’t marry until you want to. Just don't. There is no hell worse than a hell of a loveless marriage. Daily, you will be reminded how your life could have been different had you somehow just not married this person. Daily, you will curse yourself for not taking a stand. And daily, your soul will cry in that suffocating marriage cage. Why am I so negative about marriage? No. Marriage is a beautiful, beautiful thing. But it becomes the ugliest thing when two people are not in love. To live together to raise kids is not marriage. It’s more like a service provided to each other under a legal agreement. It’s like being maids to each other. How does that sound beautiful? It’s not. So marry. Please do marry. And I pray that it will be the happiest day of your life. I pray that you will live a happy married life until your last breath. But for that, you must wait for the right person. You must take a stand and say no until you find that love. And I pray that you find the magic that you deserve.
