One fellow tried to explain why men get married and I was likeIf men really believe that there are only the following 3 reasons to get married, I am crystal clear about what is not working in our community, hell the world!
2. Social reasons. Marriage often times helps in social contexts. Married men appear to be more stable.
3. Family reasons. Mostly all men want their children to marry and start a nuclear family. We marry and remain married so that our children can not grow up to be single mothers or deadbeat dads.
PERSONALLY
1. Thank God I let the conventional religious/sex/sin thing go a long time ago! Sex is sacred and it has a purpose and to have sex outside of those purposes (create life, bond to one another, relieve stress, & manifest ideas into reality) is to “Sin” (miss the mark/purpose). I live a purpose-driven life so I don’t have sex for reasons outside of the above, thus most of the time don’t “sin.”
I also don’t believe in mundane sex so if he is not creative and about the spice, he is not the one for me!
2. I don’t live my life to “look good” to society. I’m single with no children at 35 and catch hell AND I refuse to settle just to “fit it.” I have enough strength of character not to bow to society pressure that are not in my best interest.
3. I am clear that family can look a lot of ways and while I would prefer to raise my future children with their father 100% present in their life, I am preparing myself now to create a different support structure with an extended family either way. Whether Mr. Extraordinary and I get married and have children in the next 5 years or I have my first child in the next 5 years and marry him later, I will be using the village model to raise my family vs this idiotic “wester” nuclear family nonsense that does not work.
I will get married for 1 reason only. I have found a sexy person who complements me and whom I complement with whom I want to build a life and who wants to build a life with me. We will declare it publicly in front of family, friends, God, nation, the world in a legal ceremony binding us legally as a symbol of our commitment to one another and to the future we are creating together. Stick around and you just might get and invitation!!!
