Hmmm...I want to blog today, but I don't know what to blog about. I should just make another blog and just type random stuff so that you guys don't have to read about how bored I am. Unless you like reading those posts...
I just feel like, you know. That like, the world is just, like, whatever. You know?
I have an idea! We have these conversation starter things out on the stand by the couch. I'm gonna choose one to blog about. This is gonna be fun!!!
This one's gonna be good:
"What did your parents teach you about marriage?"
Well, my mom always tell me that marriage is not worth it. She says that marriage is like forcing two people to become the same person, and it takes away your independence. She even dedicated a whole blog post about it. Or ten.
But, those have been DELETED!!! So, I can't show you. I can't put like a link or anything.
OH WAIT!!! Here it is!! Click
HAHA! Did you click it?
Anyways, it makes sense to me what her post was saying though. It was saying that Einstein even said that marriage was "Incompatible with human nature". Which makes sense, because Back in however many years B.C.E., our ancestors didn't marry their mates. At least, that's what I think. I might be wrong though. Who knows, maybe they had a divorce percentage of like, 0.5%, that or a divorce percentage of 99.9%. Just sayin'.
My dad has always said that he would never marry again after my mom. NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER!!!!
Or at least, that's what I remember him saying. You should probably ask him though.
I don't know that I won't ever get married though. I just don't think I would ever marry as young as my mom and dad did. That usually ends in disaster. But not always...
I think I would probably wait until I'm like, thirty or something. I don't know, whenever it seems to be right. I definitely won't have kids until I have a sound source of income though. And I would never move my kids around as much as I have been moved.
Wow, that conversation starter really made a fairly good blog post. What do you guys think? What did YOUR parents teach YOU about marriage? If you do decide to share with the world what your parents taught you about marriage, leave a comment. Or make a blog, at least make sure that I get a link or somethin'.

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said your parents were too young to get married, although we all thought it was the right thing to do at the time, and even with the divorce, I still think it was the right thing to do at the time.
I still think marriage is the best thing. People just need to realize there are bumps in marriage, but you can work them out. There are bumps in whatever you do in life, because that is how life is. Just like a video game, always some challenge or another. :0) There are lots of good marriages around, and a lot of strong families, and those are the best kinds of environment to live in.
I also think the whole world would be better if there was no sex outside of marriage - just think, less divorce, no STDs, children would mostly grow up in 2-parent families, the government would have less welfare demands, no porn industry.
I see how your mom feels, since she has gone through 2 divorces, but don't give up on marriage. :0)
Oh yeah, and Adam and Eve were married, so I think our ancestors did marry their mates. I think divorce was pretty rare. Even when I was a kid, hardly anyone got divorced. Prevalent divorce is more a recent thing.
Well...I like being married.
So there!
I wasn't saying being married was bad, or even that I was against it. Just simply stating the stuff my parents taught me, like the card told me too. I MUST obey the card. I MUST obey the card...
I've softened my stance some. Instead of "NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER!!!!" It's now down to "NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS."
Kidding. It's not that I'm against marriage. I just don't envision meeting anyone that I'll feel that way about and be able to make it work with.
I am very happy that I was able to convince your grandma to marry. We have been married for nearly 40 years now. There have been tough days and tough things but we have mnade it through them with some work. I would hate life without her.
Marriage can be tough...but it also has its rewards...I especially think marriage is important because it provides stability for children...
Marry a sugar-momma and everything will be fine...
Me mam sat me down one day and said "Ali" (or as my name was at the time Snappy, read more about it on my blog)"marriage is a wonderful thing like skipping through a summer breeze without a care in the world, like tending to ripe blossoms, or like rocking out to a smashing hit! But if you don't get worried you can always get a cat." I'm forever grateful to me mam as that's when I purchased my lifelong partner Smitty the porcupine (although I am dating two hotties at the mo, MeatSpud and Ted. Who knows is marriage on the cards?)
