marriage and religion
A very honest and amazingly well-written post about marriage (and some of my fears about it).
mostly the same fears I think I have about relationships - that even if I do find someone who I mesh well with, that things will change and upset things.
For example, I sometimes worry about a partner leaving me because of my beliefs and the direction in which they're going. This isn't to say the fear is sound - I think a lot of this is built on personal issues, which previous experiences have exacerbated.

That was a really interesting read, especially for me while I'm dating someone who doesn't share my religious beliefs.
What a bittersweet story.
What are some of your fears about marriage?

This was a really good lunch-break read. I can see this happening to me in the future...but on a much different scale...
Future Partner: What the hell?!?! You're leaving me because I believe in exercise?!
...haha anyways, thanks for posting it. It was great.
Hah, I could totally see that, David. Alternatively...
Girl: I believe in you, David!
David: Oh, but I believe in original sin and the depravity of man. We need to break up.
