Given that my sample size is so small (girls I've dated), I'm hoping that my results are truly statistically insignificant and don't represent the female population as a whole. That said, is it so crazy to want to pursue what I would consider a 'normal' path for a relationship, the ultimate goal being marriage?
50% of the women I have dated in my life don't agree with the above statement. They either see marriage as an unimportant commitment with little bearing on a relationship, or don't even desire it for themselves. I haven't been in a very committed relationship with any of these women, but this seems like it should concern me. Am I expecting too much to be in a relationship with someone who views marriage as something to be desired and of great significance?
The movies would have you believe that this is all girls want, but that is not true. Don't get me wrong, I'm not looking for a girl that just wants to get married and doesn't have any plans of her own, but what about someone with similar plans that wants to pursue those plans together within a committed relationship? Marriage shouldn't be viewed as something that holds us back or ties us down but rather gives us the support to achieve bigger and better things.
