Married Isn’t Scarry If..
I wish to be loved like there’s no tomorrow.
Here I am, sitting with my thoughts after hanging out with my friends, both of them already married and have daughter of their own. We really spent time together, full of laughter, playing with deer, eating good food, and sometimes sharing nostalgic stories from our college days.
I realise we’ve already grown up, and our conversations are no longer only about assignments. They’re about our future.
The conversation smoothly found its way to the topic of marriage…
My friends happily told me about their married lives, how their husbands treated them, from their dating days to married life, and eventually becoming a little family.
They told me about how hard their husbands worked to achieve their goals and build a life together. I was genuinely excited while listening to their stories. In the middle of the conversation, I chuckled and told them,
When ya..
We started laughing, and they also wished that one day I’d find my love. I was smiling ear to ear, knowing they were wishing that for me.

Deep down, I’ve always wished for the same thing they wished for me. But reality hit me so hard. I’ve always thought that in a world that feels so full of betrayal and lust, maybe marriage just isn’t worth it.
The thought that marriage isn’t worth it doesn’t apply when you meet the love of your life.
Looking at my friends marriage, which has been full of blessings lately, made me change my mind.
Marriage isn’t scary when both of you are willing to make sacrifices, as long as you’re making them with someone you love.
Maybe that’s what I’ve been missing. Maybe marriage was never supposed to be about finding someone who could promise me a perfect life.
Maybe it’s about finding someone who makes all the imperfect parts worth going through. Someone you can laugh with over the smallest things. Someone whose stories you never get tired of hearing. Someone you can build a little family with. Someone who makes you think, “Oh… so this is what everyone meant when they said love could feel like home.”
And maybe, one day, I’ll understand it too.
For now, I’ll just keep listening to my friends’ stories, smiling at their happiness, and secretly hoping that one day, I’ll have a story of my own to tell.
God, I trust You to arrange what’s good for me. I believe that whatever You have in store for me will find me at the right time.
And when that day comes, I hope I’ll be loved like there’s no tomorrow.
