The decision seems easy and obvious. A simple question with lifetime consequences. A decision that could change the course of the world, but probably won't. Mostly I'm concerned with how it'll change our lives here and now. I worry that I'm taking it too lightly, that this is something that should require soul searching. Instead, the thought of marrying her isn't profound. There's a fatalistic feeling to it... like it's unavoidable. It's just what happens when you're in a relationship like this. Eventually, you get married. The process is probably accelerated by the commitment we've made to not have sex until we're married. Also, we're not getting any younger and we're both (or at least I am) tired of being single. Getting married is what grown-ups do, right?
So here I am pondering marriage like it's an inescapable end to this dating relationship. Does that bother me? No. Does it worry me? Not really. I think it'd be very difficult to find someone else that'd be better for me. Maybe just the fact that she's willing and wanting to marry me is reason enough to marry her. Of course, there's more to it than that. ;)
