Marriage is hard work and many of us are scared of hard work! We can get degrees and start companies and serve the community but when it comes to making yourself vulnerable to another, we get scared and run for the hills. I have been married for almost 14 years and I can say that it has not been easy. We have had our ups and downs with more good times than bad. We intend to work at this thing and enjoy it until death do us part.
I also think about what I have seen single sisters (divorced, never been married or widowed but looking again) go through and I would not want to voluntarily be single again....babymama/babydaddy drama, STDs/AIDS, online dating, bars/clubs, singles ministries, etc.!
