I've spend most of my life doing things that i like. And now, i just don't want that anymore, i don't want that free life, and i wanted so much to have family of my own. But the reality is, i can say alot of wishes, but not all of my wishes could coming true. I chatted with some of my friends and we come out with the idea that todays peoples don't have enough thrust in marriage life. Some said that they're too afraid of the commitment and some said they failed once and they just don't want to try again. So, that question; people nowadays are afraid of marriage life, is true? I still don't have the clue. Friends, please share your thoughts..

I am personally don't have affright from getting married. I have had enough free time and enjoyable teenage years so now I am fully ready to relax with my lovable partner. I can't say marriage scares me at all. How far my observation goes, I could say that people who aren't fine with their lives might be afraid from getting married. People who value their freedom "doing whatever I want" thing don't want to tie up with duties for another person. I also think, people really think that marriage is a duty but it's not. And if you get married thinking that you take a duty for all your life, you should evaluate your steps to meet your wedding day.

In my case, i maybe not value my freedom in the way i should. But i just cannot explain the longing, how i long to build a family of my own. Anyway, thank you for your comment, it surely open my eyes in a certain way. Thank you.
