What if you never get married?

I recently talked with a woman, about 40 but much less mature, who was crying and upset that "God must hate her because she's not married."

I tried to explain to her that marriage solves very few problems, and causes many more; that if she doesn't feel complete without a husband, she'll feel even worse with one. This went on for a while, but I think you all get the drift.

I feel sorry for her - she is so sold into an "Ozzie & Harriet" world that she simply can't understand that it probably never existed in the first place.

As for me, I always assumed that I'd marry, but never really made huge decisions concerning it. Well, unless you count that I took a job that I knew I could never take as a married woman early. I'll never regret taking that job, nor quitting when I did - lots of personal growth & fun experiences!
