I'm at that age where it seems like everyone around me is getting married. The crazy thing is I'm only 19. I don't know, maybe I'm just being cynical, but I think it's dumb. How can you possibly be ready to spend the rest of your lives together when you've only known each other less than a year?!? I recently heard about someone who has been dating someone for three months and is already ready for a ring. Seriously?
Then again, it does work for some people. My parents were married after only nine months, and they're the perfect picture of a successful marriage.
But with the divorce rate the way it is today, it just seems to me that people need to learn to wait. I mean I'm a girl, so obviously I think about getting married all the time. But when I really think about, it just seems so crazy. I get frustrated now over the dumbest things. I couldn't imagine throwing another mind into the crazy mix.
So there's my thoughts. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I just think that people need time to learn as much as they can about each other before they vow to stay with them forever.
Please don't think I'm one of those crazy people who are against marriage. I'm not at all. Personally, I think it's beautiful. People just need to be ready, and I think that right now, we still have a lot of growing up to do.

Sometimes I think about getting married (...okay, a LOT of the time, hey, I'm a girl too :P), and it's really easy to get caught up in that. But, when I really stop to think about it, I'm not sure that I really want it for the right reasons, but it's still really hard to think about it that critically.
I think it's great that you're already aware of the problem that we as girls have with that kind of thinking. Keep up the good work. :)
A- FREAKIN- MEN...
