My parent's marriage isn't great. They are still married but I am under the impression that they stopped loving each other a long time ago, and only stay together because they are in it 'for better or for worse'. Most of my friends parent's are divorce and don't talk much if at all. And even with all that negative surrounding me, I can still say I believe in the institution of marriage. It's not the paper that has the means, but rather the message. To me, if someone says that they want to marry me, they are basically telling me that they love me enough to spend the whole rest of their life with me and they aren't afraid who know's it. It's honestly that kind of love that I hope and pray for. So why would I settle for anything less? Not that I'm necessarily looking for a ring or anything, but what's to say I don't deserve someone who loves me that much. I don't deserve to be with someone who would treat me that way. I dream for a love that unconditional. Why should I settle for any love that is less than that? Simply put, I shouldn't -- but life's never simple.
