We all want something else other than what we have and don't realize what you got works. It works. It does work. You gotta work. Marriage is work. Marriage is a career. It's not an adventure.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Marriage takes work - it doesn't just happen.
You have to work for everything. Marriage should not be any different.
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.
It had not occurred to me that marriage requires the same effort as a career. And unlike a career, marriage requires a joint effort.
Even though marriage is doomed, if you turned it into a job you like and really work at it - it can be salvaged.
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.
Marriages, like careers, need constant nurturing... the secret of having it all is loving it all.
You get excited about getting married, aight, but after you're married for awhile, you gotta have a process to make it work, aight.
Marriage is a linchpin in many women's lives, but many other things can create a satisfying life. I adore my career. It stretches every physical, emotional, and intellectual muscle I have.
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.
