My greatest hope is that my marriage will be (in many aspects) as successful as my parents' marriage...
My greatest fear is that my marriage will (in many aspects) turn out like my parents' marriage...
I see movies... I read tales... I hear stories... I'm not afraid of 'marriage' per se... I fear the risks, the odds --seemingly almost unbeatable. I fear becoming like her... I fear that he will become like him... I'm scared we will turn into 'them' and that what we have will turn into 'that'. I am afraid of the danger and the turmoil --the heartache and the headaches-- that marriage has the potential to bring...
Seems like the things in life that often have the greatest potential for good and blessing carry equal amounts of potential for harm and destruction... why can't it just be simple? Maybe it is....
but I
am just so
afraid.
