For some, marriage means becoming paralyzed by fear. But sometimes the one-thing-after-another game of excuses just serves to string someone (usually the woman) along. More often, it's a legitimate fear. He's not sure if he's old enough, secure enough, responsible enough, rich enough.
These are excellent things to consider when entering into marriage. But the biggest factor in any relationship is timing. When you find the right person and you hit the right age, sometimes you just have to take the plunge. Getting married isn't about knowing you're going into something easy and perfect. It's knowing that you've found the right person to take on life's challenges with. I'm not talking about getting married tomorrow..we've been together for a year, but I'd like to know that in another year (2 years together) that he plans on making the gesture.
I know he come's from a broken home but if we all held on to that reasoning most of us wouldn't ever get married in today's society and in return miss out on a lot of wonderfully long and happy marriages. I guess I'm afraid he'll never get over these fears and I will be left with a broken heart!
Thanks for the comfort guys!
you're great!
