The desire to get married, which - I regret to say, I believe is basic and primal in women - is followed almost immediately by an equally basic and primal urge - which is to be single again.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes I think, 'I need to get married soon.' Other days I think, 'Why get married?'
It is a mistake for women to think that life begins only with marriage. A woman can and must have an identity and feel useful, valued, and needed whether she is single or married. She must feel that she can do something for someone else that no one else ever born can do.
Despite the myth that men are less committed, they are predisposed to desire marriage.
For me, getting married doesn't mean we should limit ourselves to some pre-defined idea. Rather, it's an opportunity to explore new things in life.
I am a very basic person. I still believe marriage happens only once, and you have to sustain it.
I've never felt any particular desire to be married.
As marriage goes, I think most people sort of set being - you know getting married as the goal as opposed to being married.
It used to be you wanted to marry up.
I may get married later or may never get married. But I want babies, so I'll have to get married. I want fat, cute babies. Every girl has to think about it at some point. For me, marriage is about family, and that's why I find it necessary. Till then, it's normal to have a partner and do your own thing.
I understand by this passion the union of desire, friendship, and tenderness, which is inflamed by a single female, which prefers her to the rest of her sex, and which seeks her possession as the supreme or the sole happiness of our being.
