You're not the only one who believes this. I just think a lot of couples now have an unrealistic view of what marriage is. When I was rotating at one of the clinics, a classmate of mine (who's engaged) who also rotated there with me, would constantly talk about how beautiful her wedding is going to be. I mean, she kept asking my opinion on some of the the things she likes in her bridal magazines, and of course I gave her my opinion on some of the things that I thought were cute. The whole time I was thinking "Umm, do you know that this "wedding" is supposed to be a one time act? You're about to make a lifelong commitment, plan for that." I just think a lot couples don't realize that marriage has to be developed and also maintained, that's why they look at you like you're nuts.

I dunno, she just seems like she has the giddy idea that marriage is a game or some sort of prom for grown ups.
