Quotes For People Who Have This 'Marriage' Thing All Figured Out

Updated September 6, 2021

I find myself thinking about marriage a lot lately. Maybe it's because I'm now verging on the wrong side of 25, and all my friends are getting engaged, and my own relatives keep telling me it's "my turn" next. Whatever the reason, I've got a ring on my mind.

Just, you know, not on my finger.

But that's O.K., because I don't think I'm ready to say "I do" yet, even though my Pinterest page is positively overflowing with boards dedicated solely to my dream wedding (fall themed. It's going to be legendary.)

I think moving in with my boyfriend has also had something to do with my whole "marriage" focus nowadays, too.

We spend just about every minute of our spare time together, so it's kind of hard to keep secrets, especially since those minutes are all spent inside a rather small apartment that's basically all open-concept.

And, I should mention, we moved in together literally one week before the country went into lockdown and we found ourselves literally quarantined together.

To say this whole pandemic thing tested our relationship is a serious understatement.

Although I definitely don't know what it's like to actually be married, I feel like it has to be at least somewhat close to this, and if it is, then I have serious respect for all you married folks out there because this has not been easy.

A walk in Jurassic Park indeed.

But although we've hit a few bumps in the road, I also feel like we've come out of this unprecedented experience stronger than ever.

That's all thanks to a lot of heart-to-heart conversations, some minor blow-ups, and more than a few compromises (largely made on his part, bless him.)

And when all else fails, I like to adopt the above technique to remind him of how lucky he is to have this in his life because nothing's permanent, and he better realize that before it's too late.
