So this chick I've been talking to lately mentioned to me that I make relationships sound so bad by certain things that I say to her and via social media. Intrigued by this statement, I asked several of my closest friends if I did and received a resounding yes in response. I honestly didn't know I came off that way. It's not like I've been going off on some "I hate women" rants or something of that nature. I simply voice my opinions about marriage and relationships in a matter-fact-way which is what I'll do now.
I feel as marriage and love in our generation is somewhat meaningless. Consumating your love through God isn't meaningless at all but the people attempting to do so are not as committed. The days of people having these life-long romantic bonds are through. The crazy thing about it is that my parents have been happily married for the past 27 years. I can look at them and tell that they're still in love after all this time. At one point in time I did want that, but I've realized that the old school "we'll weather any storm together" type of marriages were lost with my parents generation. I say this because I look around at my peers and see nothing but chaos, myself included. It's not like crying my eyes while I'm typing this or I'm angry or bitter, it's just my honest opinion. I'd be a fool to say true love doesn't exist at all anymore but I'd also be fool to put faith into that notion.
