I was born to be married. I just feel comfortable there. I love the idea of being partnered for ever. I love my girlfriend we've been best friends since I was 18. There's not a thing we haven't been through except for marriage... We've had talks about what we would name our kids since we were in our 20s.
We can do things the cheap way the simple way for the short-term and without regard for the future. Or we can make the extra effort do the hard work absorb the criticism and make decisions that will cause a better future.
