What to Think When the Idea of Forever Sounds Scary

So if you haven’t known by now, I’m kinda super scared about marriage. (The online tv series, The Marriage Project that I’m presently writing to be aired summer 2010 will deal with this topic)

Forever. It’s a big promise…. to love someone forever. My fiance (is that obnoxious? calling him my fiance?) told me what he thinks of when it starts to freak him out a little, which if you’re really understanding the gravity of a decision like that should freak you out at least a little!

Here’s what he said:

“I just think about how I can’t see my life without you, and it makes it really simple.”

Genius.

That’s it! You just gotta find someone you can see in your future, but not just the fact that you can see them there, you can’t picture them not being there either.
