still single....

I am sure this kind of thing has gotten worse w Facebook et al. All i can say is it's not always what it seems. One of my sisters was in town this weekend and is in the middle of a nasty divorce. If that isn't bad enough, she said that in 15 years of marriage she was never happy. NEVER. That just stunned me. All I can say is don't be jealous because you never know what the other person's life is like.

Yep and people tend to be challenged and asked to explain why they opt out of the life script. Instead, people need to think seriously and critically about why they opt in. There are people who marry and/or have children only to find marriage and/or children aren't for them. They are absolutely miserable. Marriage is more reversible than children.

We aren't trying to talk people out of marriage and/or children. We just want people to see beyond the rose colored glasses and promises of instant and eternal happiness. Thank God for the spouses and parents who are honest about how their lives are nothing like they had dreamed.
