I can't imagine being single and my age today.  When a woman is married, at least if she chose wisely, you have someone to lean on.  You help them when they are down or struggling.  They help you when you are down or struggling.  Home life is more dependable because you have two helping out with everything making things less likely to fall apart if one person goes through a hard time.

It isn't that marriage has nothing to give.  It is that people today are always looking for something better.  We live in a throw away society that throws things away, not just because they broke, but also because they are no longer new and exciting.  People need to be more grateful for what they have instead of spending all of their time looking for something better. 

 I can't really imagine being single, but statistically-speaking, we both will eventually be so, as widows or divorcées. 

 My goal/plan/hope is that we are raptured together and neither of us has to lose the other.  Obviously it is not guaranteed, but with what is happening in the world today, I think we've got a decent chance. 

 You are so romantic. 🫂 

 I think I'm jaded from serving at so many funerals and having so many male friends and relatives die young.
