Marriage

I read Jezebel, probably more than I should, and this article is one of the best they've posted so far (kinda). I actually think that sometimes Jezebel is too extreme for me, I mean, I'm a feminist, but they go around bashing people for claiming feminists are anti male, but some of their stuff comes off as very anti male. But this article is so... neutral... in a way, and I love that her point is a little bit about how the woman who wrote the article needs to tone down her ideas about marriage and that a woman shouldn't need to convince a man to marry her, but really, she argues that "marriage for marriage's sake isn't how people become happy." I love that she says that. It's true that if you are happy with who you are, you will not become MORE happy because of marriage, but most importantly, if you're unhappy, marriage won't solve that. Go figure out who you can become to make you happy and do that, then decide if you want to get married, don't go changing your life/personality/looks just because someone won't marry you for it.

 

Thank you for presenting a totally acceptable idea about marriage. If you're already unhappy, get happy, then get married. If you don't, your marriage will probably be unhappy!
