So we're in the midst of wedding season and it's had me speculating about my past and current relationships.
I have never been truly ready to marry someone. I have seen myself being able to marry some of the men I've dated, and even the man I'm in a relationship now--I can easily picture it in my head, and it's a good picture. However, I have never been 100%, without a doubt, absolutely sure that I wanted to marry someone and commit to them, and only them for the rest of my life. So it led me to ask, is anyone ever REALLY ready to get married? No doubts, no inhibitions, no 'what-if's'...
Is anyone TRULY sure that the person they are engaged to 'the one?'
To me, it's a "ehh, what the heck" kind of approach. I figure if I love someone (which I do, and it's real love) then I guess I could give it a shot. But it's not an overwhelming urge or absolute certainty. I figure it's the kind of situation that I'd just have to try to see if it works.
I'm curious to hear your stories or opinions--particularly from people who are married. Where you ever really ready? Or did you just kind of jump in to it?
And when I say "jump in to it" I don't mean, "Heeey, I like you enough, lets get married!!!" I mean, that you genuinely love the person, have been with them a while and truly want to commit to them. But as far as the actual act of marrying someone, just kind of total submergence approach.
