Are You Ready For Marriage?

by Daniel Chiam

A few friends and I bump into a teacher who used to teach us back in high school. So we spend a few minutes of our time to catch up with him and guess what... all three of us get more than what we ask for, haha.

He took the opportunity to give each of us advise about getting married, life and money. It was a very fruitful conversation and tho I disagree with some of his opinions but its still make sense and understandable.

Cikgu noticed that a lot of his former student is getting married at a very young age, and most of them didn't end up well in their marriage. So he was telling us to take our time, to experience life and at the same time to build our own life first before even thinking about getting married.

Finding the right one is important. A pretty face alone wouldn't help much in a relationship. Yes you can brag about it but all of us will eventually gets old, and by then you will have nothing to brag about when the only thing you choose them for had already fade away.

We need to be smart in choosing the right partner. Your significant other could either pull you up or drag you down. Remember, if you have a filthy rich parents, you have all the rights to choose whoever you want, haha. Being in a relationship will not be all lovey dovey all the time. Love will conquer all, but if you have no money in life, you will not be able to support a relationship, and what more - a family.




In a relationship, it can't be only one person who do all the sacrificing and while the other only enjoy the ride. In order to make things work, both have to contribute. Seriously I really think that's how relationship should be working.

Money can't buy happiness but it could contribute to happiness in a relationship.

Cikgu just wanted to make sure that all of us is capable of standing on own feet first before deciding on taking on someone else in our arms. Carrying another person will not be easy if you have a shaky legs. Worse to come, you'll drop that person that you are carrying, or both of you will fall to the ground together. Eventually one or both will get hurt.

So at the moment all of you youngster, make sure you build a strong foundation of your life first before deciding on getting into a relationship. If you are not capable, then make friends first. When the time comes, you will know that you are ready for marriage and for a family.

So what about you? What made you decide to get married? Is there anything that you would do differently if you could turn back the time? Its not about regret, its about helping other to see it through. =)
