is simply really. I was tired of being the "player." I had been in a serious relationships before and I didn't like it at all that it was more physical than one of us relating to one another. Although, I was considered a "player" at one point in my younger years, I did manage to get a taste of the sour medicine I used to dish out, and let me tell ya it wasn't fun. The physical part of a relationship is fun yes, but I wanted to be with someone who I could truly relate to on more than a physical level. I wanted someone who had common interests as I did. I wanted to be with only one person for the rest of my days here on this planet. That is the reason why I wanted to get married at such a young age. I had gotten tired of playing games, and wanted to settle down. Of course, just because I wanted something didn't mean I was emotionally ready to handle it. But a decade later, I found God's best woman on this planet for me. And you know what the bible says, he that find's a wife, finds good and obtains favor from God. Boy oh boy did I ever need some favor to be able to stay with my wife for almost 9 years, come this Jan. 29th for 2009. What about you, if you're married, what was your reasoning was to why did want to? If your single and thinking about getting married, what's your reasons?

The first time I married, I thought that I was completely in love. Years later, I realize that it was more to get away from my parents and an intolerable living situation. My first husband was a good man, but he wasn't the man to keep up with me and my ever changing lifestyle. I was fortunate to find love a second time with a man who loves change, new experiences and spending time with our family. I thank God every night for this wonderful man who is such a big part of my life.
