How to get married and have a family by GrayPyre

"When it's right it will be effortless. Not that you won't have to work at it, it just won't feel like work."

How I did it: After dealind with my anxiety I began to date in my twenties. I trusted the wrong person and got hurt after that I just dated for fun and didn't get serious at all.

Then I met Dave. He was like that first breath after being under water for a long time. I wasn't gaga or instantly "in love" when I met him. It wasn't like a story. I just knew I wanted to know him better.

He was in the military and we met in October 2001 so he had to be gone alot but we talked on the phone and saw each other as often as we could. I never once wanted to date anyone else I was willing to wait to see where this would go. After a year and a half he got the opertunity to join a new unit and we moved together to jacksonville. On our third anniversary of the day we met we eloped. We had planned on having a real wedding for the family but decided that we would rather have a baby. That was fun to explain to the families because no one knew we were already married but they got over it by the time Mirabelle got here. She'll be 2 in April and we are now planning to have another sometime next year. Maybe one day we'll have that wedding...

Lessons & tips: You really need to be happy with yourself first. The focus of your life shouldn't be on finding "the one" it should be on living happily. Find what your good at, find your own joy and the right person will simple fit into that.

    currently single and not feeling like any one in my life could be “the one” although I thought one of my friends was but now in retrospect I think it was just first girlfriend Pseudo-love, not really sure though.

    I guess most people want to do this… except I never did until recently… coincidentally around the same time that I started to ‘grow up’.

    It’s not on my immediate list of things to do but someday, when I’ve found a guy I’m ready and willing to make that kind of commitment to, I’d like to do it.

    Like my mum said when I was busy trying to convince her I never wanted to get married… ‘when you meet the right guy you’ll change your mind’.

    Married life? BAH. 22 months ago

    My secret wish is to be married to the one I love. He will be someone who loves me more than I love him. (Haha.)

    My second secret wish is to bear us little tots to fill our lives with joy, laughter, and stress.

    But currently, I will maintain my stand to not marry in future, and will continue to find children annoying.

    Dreams... 2 years ago

    I’m just dreaming of finding the man I’m meant to marry. I know he’s out there somewhere, but I really don’t believe I’ve met him yet. I’m waiting for Mr. Right, and when we do meet and get married, we’ll adopt so many kids and be parents to the parentless.
