Manifest Destiny: Soulmates
I'll tell you a little secret. There is no guaranteed method of attracting the "perfect mate". While I do still hold soulmates as true, I suspect it's...

Wondering what we might have been
I thought he was something, yet I find myself distancing, because my expactaions of who he is failed him. We chatted, joked around with friends online and gr...
Both simultaneously is magical, two becoming stronger as one. A contract is signed, a license issued, but when in love, it is the building and enjoying of something experienced and made together for one another.
ReplyMarriage has no point, though. It's functionally, practically, and demonstrably obsolete. Human hearts deserve something better than a contract.
ReplyLove is wonderful. Marriage is a mistake. A very costly mistake. Never get married.
ReplyMarriage is a beautiful thing. People who rush into it and have naive notions towards it are the ones who end up feeling a type of way.
ReplyGood to see people understand the difference between love and marriage. Love is like feeling good about yourself. Marriage is like feeling good about your clothes.
ReplyEverything has its pros and cons... including marriage. One of the most useful cases for marriage is to rear a family. Children thrive with a family... and struggle to the point of dysfunction, crime, abuse, etc. when they are from a "broken family" or a single parent environment.
Courtesy notice: the following includes a reference to a book that contains writings over 2000 years old which are mostly parables about human nature, both vile human nature as well as moral human nature, parables that are meant to teach us to learn and grow, including the teachings of Christ Jesus. No religion required, and better yet: no public displays of devotion required. Some bullies will label this "trolling", so "change the channel" now if of no interest to you.
1 Thessalonians 5:11

ReplyMarriage is not a business deal, its learning to deal with some else's business and not giving up when things get hard. Marriage is an action, a form to share and show love to grow and get old with someone. It's not for everyone, but for some people, it means everything and its even better when your with someone you really love and can see yourself spending the rest of your life with.
ReplyMarriage doesn't work. More marriages end in divorce than not when the participants are not obligated to stay together. This is very telling. It suggests that marriage is unnatural and that insisting upon marriage and monogamy as standards of human love are inhumane and immoral stances generally.
ReplyExcellent point. Just don't have kids - so so unfair to innocent lives to leave them in dysfunctional, single-parent home. Also be sure to use protection - STDs are rampant, yikes.
