All the Hype about Marriage

Don't get me wrong. I am not opposed to marriages or married people. It is just sometimes when i hear the reality of marriage of what's going on in the actual lives of married people, it is not such a fun ride as advertised. We as young women were socialized to believe that marriage was the end all be all the pinnacle of success for a woman. This is not true as i entered into my 30s and started listening to what married friends say, what my mother says, what my relatives say.
