Wrong Perceptions People Has About Marrying Young

All these are based on my personal experience and what I've seen from my friends' marriage. To be fair, it might differs individually so it's absolutely okay if you oppose to every single thing that is written here.

And no, this post is definitely not to encourage or to push you young girls out there to marry young. I just wanna share my thoughts.

1) Marrying is all about being a housewife and be with the husband 24/7. You are controlled from doing anything fun that you always do when you are single. E.g hanging out with friends, clubbing, shopping, etc.
Definitely not true. This is definitely not true. My husband never stops me from doing fun. After marrying, I still go to the movies and dinners with my frienryds. I used to have a really strict curfew set by my mom, but now, I live a curfew-free life all thanks to Mr Hubby. And I have a classmates who loves clubbing, she's married even younger, but that doesn't stop her from going clubbing with her friends too. So being a wife doesn't equal to being a prisoner in your own home.

2) Being married and settling down means you can no longer work your dreams and have a strong career
WRONG! I personally think that one should married first before they focus on their career. WHY? As I always tell my friend, once you focus on your career, there's no way you'll want to settle down and have children because once you are successful, projects will come to you non-stop. And everytime you thought about giving yourself a break from work, you can't because you are labelled 'Single', it means you have nothing else to worry about but your work. :whistle: Whereas if you are married, considerate boss will allow you to take your time off after you've done a good job knowing that you need time for your family. And as you can see, a single strong businesswoman will stay single for as long as she can while married strong businesswoman will have great time enjoying both her successful career and family. But then, it's still depends on your luck and see if you have an understanding husband or considerate boss or not.

3) Being married means you can't go out and see the world
So wrong again. Unless you are the loner type that likes to be alone or you are still in the mood of flirting around with new people, travelling the world with your love ones is nothing compare with travelling with friends or alone. I'm the type that would rather stay at home than to go for a holiday overseas if I can't bring my spouse along and I'm glad that my husband is the same type too. Travelling with husband will be like going to the honeymoon again. You'll be reminded of how excited you both were during your honeymoon. ♥ Yeah I can't help but to repeat again, nothing beats travelling with hubby dearest, well unless you and your husband are those that never see eye to eye or will argue at every single thing then it's best that you two go to your own way.

4) Being married means you can never have outings with your friends with him tagging along
WRONG!!! Most understanding husbands will understand their wives need of having private girlish time with their buddies. Unless you have a super controlling husband that will not allow you to go out if you don't bring him along.

5) Being married means you have to do all the housechores and become a maid to your husband
SUPER DUPER WRONG!!! I never feel like a maid at all because both of us share the house chores. I cook, he clean the dishes, I mop and sweep the floor, he keeps the bed neat, I wash toilet bowl, he does the laundry and we both clean the toilet together. And living on our means we can choose to do housechores once a week with no nagging from the elders. ^_^V

That's all I can think of now, if you have anymore cons of marrying young, do leave me a comment.

And please note that a man with all 5Cs (Cash, Career, Car, Credit Cards, Condominium) doesn't mean that he is a good husband. Go for someone who is mature enough to understand the meaning of love and responsibilities. Someone who is understanding, considerate, care about your feelings and loyal. Looks is only external and no matter how beautiful the two of you look now, you'll look like crap in 50 years time but a never ending love will never change.

It's a great feeling waking up every morning with someone to hug. Having someone to wake up a few times a night to make sure that you are okay when you are sick. Having someone to tell you what a great cook you are although you know that it taste bad. Having someone to assure you that you look beautiful when you feel like piece dump. Having someone to hug you tightly when you feel down. Having someone to support and encourage you to go through the hardest moment in life. And knowing that you'll never be left alone ever again. It's a wonderful feeling~

This post is specially dedicated to my husband.
