26 years on this earth, 3 years of marriage, 1 long term relationship, several short term relationships, 2 one night stands and a couple late night, drunken chats with a couple of girls have brought me to one conclusion:

there is no magic formula, no secret tip, no easy way to a perfect relationship. If there was there would be no single people...

AHHHhhhhh. I see.

Wrong.

That goes with the assumption that everyone wants to be married. I have seen WAY TOO MANY really good friendships get wrecked due to marriage. I am very single, and very happy about it. I have been for the better part of the last 3 years. There has been a speed bump or two, but for the most part it has been the happiest I have ever been. I spent years believing that the only way I could truly be happy would be to get married, but I don't believe that at all anymore. I see marriage as a sacrifice that is made to procreate, and not much more. The first 2-4 years can be great, but then the reality sets in.

This is going to piss some people off, but I see marriage in a very similar light as I see religion, alcohol and drugs; as a crutch for people who are afraid of being alone.



Take care,
