single life

In class today we talked about single life and all the different aspects of it. And I really started thinking about how my grandparents and even my parents, and aunts and uncles, married young. Yet, all their kids, my siblings, and I are not married. My dad was married by age 25 and my mom by 20. Next year I am turning 20 and I have no need or desire to be married by then. Also I have a few cousins that are in their younger 20's and they also are not married or are ready to be married. I think that it's intresting how marriage has become a thing of emotion and love instead of money, social status, or even security. I also think that that is a good thing.
