I don't have this fantasy about marriage anymore. Everyone says it takes hard work. Well, it kind of does - and I'm much more pragmatic about romance than I used to be.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't know what makes a marriage work. My husband and I don't have it right at all; it's very tough on him. From the outside it looks like it's all about me - I have a glorious career and he doesn't.
I have a very realistic image of what marriage should be. It takes effort, but it shouldn't be the hardest thing that you do.
It's so easy to grow apart; marriage takes work.
Marriage takes work - it doesn't just happen.
That's my biggest struggle, is maintaining a personal romantic relationship. It takes a lot of effort.
It had not occurred to me that marriage requires the same effort as a career. And unlike a career, marriage requires a joint effort.
Marriage is wild. I thought it was this perfect land of happiness and joy. Wrong! After you say you do, you don't for a long time.
I come from divorce. I'm only doing marriage once. It's not a game for me.
You get excited about getting married, aight, but after you're married for awhile, you gotta have a process to make it work, aight.
I don't know what it takes to make marriage work, but I'm going to keep trying until I get it right. I haven't given up on love or marriage.
