Your freedom to go and do what you please is deemed over and done. No longer are you allowed girl’s nights or buying motorcycles just because you want to. There are no more fun trips backpacking through Europe or chasing down your dream job. Marriage is simply a polite form of slavery, right?

I say, No. Not at all. Or at least it doesn’t have to be. Marriage does not have to be the boring marriages our parents had where we settle into suburbia and call it a day. If you choose, marriage can mean a biker buddy for your new motorcycle. Or someone to help carry the load as you backpack through Europe. Marriage can be an in-house cheerleader as you make your dream job a reality.

Marriage is the freedom to choose the life you want AND the opportunity to bring along your best friend.
