I did go to college wanting to find a career AND a spouse because I knew those were things I wanted in life. I agree that there will probably never be an easier time to meet men than during college. I remember many of my friends (Greek and non-Greek) making wedding plans our senior year and I felt a little panicky. I went on to graduate school and still didn't meet Mr. right...so I moved back home to start my career. I had kind of given up on marriage so of course that's when I met Mr. Right. I wish I could go back and tell my college self to quit worrying about it. Had I met my future husband while I was in college, it never would have worked out so there's a good reason we met when we did.
So, what will I tell my daughter? Enjoy college, have faith, God has a plan and timing is everything. |
This! Some things in life can be planned. Finding Mr (or Mrs) Right isn't one of those things. I went to college in a place where some girls felt such enormous pressure to have a ring on their finger by graduation - mainly because all of their other friends were doing it - that they ended up pushing away the guys they were with who were more than happy to wait.
