The Fear of the Big "M" word

It is almost six months until my wedding, and it is still not becoming real to me. For years other couples around us have gotten married and it was exciting. Now that my big day is approaching, I don't have doubts or nervousness I feel that I am setting an example for my growing family. Showing my children that having two married parents under the same roof can be beneficial for children. I just feel like the meaning of weddings have become somewhat unimportant to my generation, and maybe nonexisting in generations to come. To fill the gap more couples are domestic partners or just living under the same roof. I feel the 21st century couples don't even get married as much as couples get divorced (which is almost 50%). The 21st century marriage is more about money and prenuptial agreements, than trust and loyalty or family (for better or for worse). . Living together as a couple with children, and being unmarried, and monogamous, is the same as living as a married couple with children. We fear that marriage will change us. But life experiences are the life changers. The fear of a couple getting married are reflections of their own life experiences. Being children of divorced parents can possibly drive some men and women to label marriage as being tied down or other negative things.  In all marriages there should be not only trust, love, and honesty, but also friendship and communication. Getting married should be a positive change....

My resolution... at 12 midnight

Sitting here wondering where the past five years of my life has gone. Even though I know where, it is so amazing this thing they call time. How time can keep on rolling without a care in site or who may or may not be in the future. Those who don't change with time linger and are left behind with no chance to catch up. slackers who let go of change or who are enemies of are left in the dark in a metaphorical sense.
In these past five years i have been holding on strong to my new life, the life of having my own family, and becoming a wife. In 2005 I graduated from high school and told myself that in the next five years I wanted to have a professional job working for the government, a big house, my family, lots of money, and possibly marriage.
In reality No person is perfect and actually gets everything on this list with perfection with cooperation of time. Time cannot be bargained or brought. That is why I try to take one step at a time on a daily basis. I live life loving my kids, my fiance, and rest of my family.

P.S.
Praying that my Grandmother pulls through, and comes home from the hospital in good health. We just began to develop a good relationship!!!
