I come from a time when girls still dreamed of getting married and building a family. During the engagement period, we wouldn’t just think about the wedding dress and party, but we’d take time to learn how to be a good homemaker and wife. Obviously, many of those young girls are now divorced and some don’t even believe in love anymore, but this does not mean that all are in the same situation…
Today most young people do not dream about getting married, and I don’t think it’s because they want to enjoy life or invest in a career, as many of them say… but to safeguard themselves. There are so many broken marriages, that it’s much easier not to get married and have your heart broken by a dream that faded away. However, they love watching and reading novels; they like the idea of love and fidelity; they admire long-lasting marriages.
The question is: Which one is better, to invest in a dream or to hide it not to lose it and never actually see it come true?
I find it easy to answer this question—and I believe you do too. All of us would rather invest in a dream (even if it goes wrong) than live the rest of your lives wondering what would have happened if we had tried.
The same is true of our love life. The good news is, today things are much easier and marriage should no longer be considered a shot in the dark. There is the Love Talk Show, as well as the Bulletproof Marriage book, to help you avoid problems and prepare you to live your dream.
