这不代表我不想结婚。只是没有对婚姻抱着任何憧憬。对我来说,家庭排第一,工作排第二。我还是比较传统,喜欢安分的守护家庭。工作也只不过是为了让自己的脑筋灵活,不要与世隔绝,而不是为了证明什么。不过话虽然这么说,但是我相信夫唱妇随,所以要知道我的造化,就也得看我嫁的是个喜欢不抛头露面的贤妻良母,还是拥有自己事业的现代女性。

Nat actually said this picture is typical of post-marriage syndrome. Haha!
Which brings me to share, the other day, someone told me she ran away before she got married. I didn't used to understand why, because I've always wanted to get married at 24, and have babies before I turn 28, so that by the time my kid is 20, I'm only 48. Plenty of energy left to sit back, relax and enjoy old age. But these days, I realised that somehow getting married loses that wholesome appeal once you pass a certain age and that it can be quite nerve-wrecking to bind yourself to someone for the rest of your life.
My ex-college school mate got married on July 7th and I was truly happy for her. But before all the congratulatory hugs, I asked her how did she know for sure?
Suddenly, getting married at 24 seemed too early.
She shared that when they've come full circle, ultimately the security and comfort from someone you have been with long enough is good enough reason.
I guess it's nice to know there's someone who'd always be there for you "to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness or in health, to love and to cherish 'till death do [them] part".
