"i wanna get married!"

it's funny how when my girlfriends say "i wanna just get married, give birth and stay at home", it's always when they are frustrated with work.

and when my guy friends say "i wanna get married" is when they have everything else under control (work, finances, etc)...

i suppose it's got something to do with the fairy tales we grew up reading... the princesses are always rescued by the princes......

1. When the woman marries the man, she expects him to change for the better.
2. When the man marries the woman, he expects her to stay the same.
3. "A marriage is an institution whereby a Woman gains her Master and Man looses his Bachelorhood".
4. "A man is nothing when he is single, and is FINISHED when he is married".

Looks like men believe that they are at a loosing end when it comes to marriage eh?

Well why not if the woman thinks that by getting married, it will get them (the women) to quit job, get pregnant and stay at home?

Hahaha... Staying at home with kids is a MUCH greater sacrifice.You'll loose

1. Your voice.
2. Your independence.
3. Your off day.
4. Your annual leave.
5. Your paid MCs.
6. Your income.
7. Your interaction with adults.
8. Your sanity.


Looks like woman are preparing to loose all 7 just to get married?

Comments from others?

i guess it's again, expectations. firstly, i think one shouldn't be marrying another expecting the person to change. that's unfair. secondly, one should also not expect another person to remain unchanged! i suppose that's the tough part? loving another no matter what happens?
