i was thinking today and i know that whenever most people are little they think about just getting older getting a job and having a family(wife or husband and kids)but i was just wondering after you are older and you have your job and then you get married and have kids whats next to do in life...i was just wondering because honestly the only thing that i can think of is just growing old with your wife and watching your children growing up...is this because i am only about to be twenty or is there really more to life than this

There's definitely life after raising a family. By that time you and your spouse should be in a stable financial position and that's when you can have fun. My husband and I can take off for the weekend if we want to. We can do the things that we enjoy without having to worry that someone should be doing homework or that someone else is out on a date so we have to be home by a certain time. We have a lot of free time but we also get to enjoy spending time with our grandchildren...and giving them back when we tire out.

thanks, i guess i see where you are coming from with the going off and doing the things that you like to do...it just seemed to me at the time like there wasn't much else to do.

It is much more to life than this. I think people should balance their everyday life between many things. Their family, jobs, friends, their spirit, their animals and plants, all the races in the world, their possessions etc. So, with that they would see is much more to life thant this trap called just marriage, jobs and bla bla.
