If you are anything like me, you seek variety and new experiences, i cant imagine living in the same country, being with the same person, doing the same job etc for more than 5 years never mind the rest of life.
Seems like you are more committed to reaching those $$$ and not to love- and thats fine, your more likely to reach your goals if you dont have other responsibilities holding you back. You just have to be clear on what you want.
Personally ive made the choice not to get married/have kids because it conflicts with my fastlane goals in the first place- to have as much freedom, with as little commitments.
Also WTF does it mean anyway. Marriage to me seems more about the event- can you love one another without having to "prove" it by entering into a legal contract and making a few vows? Makes it a lot easier to go your seperate ways also if it doesnt turn out as expected, rather than having a burden of divorce keeping you together when you dont really want to be. 50% of marriages fail anyway ("not mine tho!"- ye, just like youre the exception to all the other statistics- be a realist) so why take the risk.
Im atheist so maybe im not getting the religious significance of it though.
No offence to anyone whos married, i can see how it might come across this way, im open minded enough to be shown another point of view i havnt considered.
