Marriage Obsession

This obsession needs to first subside. Maybe then, women in particular will re-consider marriage. The thought of marriage based off isolation ticks me off. I am more than just a female body. I am more than just a complete woman. A man does not complete a woman. He can only compliment her provided (he can!).

Generation x, people like us, many of us have our lives together, not in desperation for anything at a material level. Even if we are, we much rather struggle and make it on our two feet. We seek to only settle when we find our connection. There is far more to life than hanging around with someone we cannot connect with. It is daunting to me to ever consider attaching my body to the opposite sex as a way to display myself to society. Who is society, why do we need to fulfill their basic expectation (of being married)? We are not living in the dark ages. We are not fulfilled by that title (Mrs!), more so, than the connection itself. I think as women, the more together we are, the more we respect ourselves, which also translates that we love ourselves, while ultimately means, we seek some in the form of growth and self-realization.

We are beyond what society thinks of us. Women who care too much about the marital status are at heightened levels of insecurity. Why care what society thinks? what do they give us? other than headaches of course.
