So again, I’m asking those who are happily married to give us the low down on the real deal…And those of you who aren’t married, guys, what do you fear about marriage? How about the girls? What do you fear?

wow. you just nailed it for me.
I identify with so many of your fears its scary.
hopefully someone out there has some insightfulness to help us with! on your last note though..on your fear of being fully known..i have to agree with your friend that being fully known and loved completely regardless of whats inside you is one of the most liberating experiences we can have in this life..its the closest thing to gods love I can think of..what better way to evolve ourselves? I crave that..I guess its just the journey to finding someone thats capable of being that thats scary..because your going to be putting yourself out there little bit by little bit and running that risk of rejection the whole time…

ps. I thought the podcast was great- It allowed this profound humaness to come through that you dont get to experience in your blog…Its almost as if you carry us on a journey with you as the tones of your voice rises with momentum and then trails off..I think you should do more!

thanks for your insight Esther! I agree with you… the idea of being fully known and loved unconditionally has it’s certain appeal. Our society just makes it too easy to go, “You’re flawed. I’m out.” But for those people who have that, it’s touching on the divine. The closest thing we have to something of the infinite here on earth….
Now if we just could find some brave souls to comment on marriage from the inside:)
*hint* *hint* ladies and gents?

Wow. Thank you so much for sharing, I’m sure it’s not easy to openly explore the kind of musings that would normally be considered fairly personal. I love your introspection, it’s a rare trait and quite refreshing.
Believe it or not, guys can share many of the same fears. I can’t speak for all guys, and certainly not “typical” guys, but I can assure you that some of those hesitations you mentioned are quite familiar on this side, too. That’s why it was so captivating to hear you expressing those sentiments, because there were quite a few that had crossed my mind as well.
I wish I had some helpful answers at the moment. I will have to listen again and put some more thought into a better response. Even if my take is atypical, you might be able to still extract some insight.
It sounds to me like this topic is really more the seed of a discussion or conversation than a question seeking an answer.

thanks for your comments guys! Be on the lookout for the next part of this marriage podcast series. Hopefully by Monday I’ll have it up: “Marriage…it’s kinda a big deal.”
It’ll deal with the benefits to counteract some of the fears:)
