There are lists circulating the internet and I'm sure you've read them. If not here they are:
23 things to do before you're 23 instead of get married
The Response
What do I have to say?
Good for these girls. They have opinions/feelings and they blog about it. It's what I do, so I get it.
What else?
People need to stop worrying about if or when or what or who they are marrying and follow the path that they are on. There are benefits of being married and benefits of not being married. Who cares?! Is being in a relationship how people define themselves?
Your twenties are a weird age. You are out of school, on your own, finding a career, finding yourself. Some people find the one, others don't. I know people who got married and had children out of college and are happy, wonderful parents and couples. I also know people who waited until almost 40 to find the right person and start a family, and they are equally as happy and successful. There are also love stories of people who started families with one person, but they found their true happiness with others and blended their families.
The wonderful thing about this world is that everyone is different. Every relationship is different. Every love story is different. Some people find their true love in middle school. Others find theirs after retirement. Some people find love in their careers. Others find it in a pet.
The one thing I can say is that if you base your happiness on someone or something else, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. Until you are happy with yourself, you can never truly be happy. If the first girl wants to sit in front of the window naked and the other girl wants to have a sleepover with her husband every night, as long as they are happy, who are we to judge?
