In response to "Vermin, I don't think the issue is that people don't take marriage seriously, because I think they do" by znufrii

Looking back, can you think of something that would have made you recognize your reasons as wrong ones?

Posted by Dr.Vermin (aka Dr.Vermin) Sep 15 '09, 16:56

Whether it be a church consultation or gov't intervention or a well-timed 'The More You Know' PSA on NBC?

Conversely, can you point to something that made you misidentify your reasons as valid ones? Unrealistic TV/movie depictions of love? Family/social pressure?

I'm not looking to validate a point or opinion with these questions... as a (relative) newlywed, I'm just curious.

yes and no. In retrospect it's easy enough to say "If I only knew this, I would've chosen differently, blah blah blah..." - znufrii Sep 15, 17:08 2
