I want to get married. Not that I am in any rush, but I would like to get married and I would be completely cool with that happening at any point in the near future. Whenever this comes up, I feel the need to minimize or demean this by saying it's dumb or stupid or sad.
What's really sad is that we feel the need to hide our most honest, righteous desires. It is a righteous desire to want an eternal companion. It's okay to want that. In fact, it's a good thing. And yet we feel the need to demean them, to make them more socially acceptable. This is not okay. Let's stop.
And instead, let us embrace our righteous desires and feel no shame in them.
