Ever since I finished reading Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert, I have relationships and marriage on my mind. Elizabeth has a very honest approach to the issue and I admire it. Her witty and brilliant journey to find real love is so compelling and thought provoking. After her first failed marriage she found love but was terrified to remarry - however, in the end the skeptic makes peace with marriage.
This made me think about our friends. Probably half of them are married and the other half are in committed relationships. One particular couple came to mind: they've been together for ten maybe fifth teen years. They have children, home, joined bank accounts. Although unmarried, they may occasionally refer to each other as husband or wife but they truly feel comfortable with the set up they are in. Another close couple friends got married after being together for 14 years because they decided to have a baby.
So, sweets, I would love to know: is marriage important to you? Are you married? After how many years of dating, living together did you get hitched? Planning to get married? Or it's not really for you? Are you in a committed relationship? Is it you or your boyfriend who doesn't want to get married? Do you think you would miss out on something special if you didn't officially get married? Let's chat and please be honest :) xo
