Paul-
It's so refreshing to hear a young guy think that way. I thought I was the only one who felt that marriage is a one time thing. I've got too many friends who, in their early 30's, have been married and divorced, sometimes multiple times. People these days have no respect for the marriage union. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, prudish, etc, but I want to get married once and have it last. My grandparents just celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary two weeks ago. I know that if I wait much longer to get married, there's not going to be a 63rd anniversary in the cards for me, but I just haven't met a girl that I felt was the right one. I'd rather be single and happy than married and miserable. In the meantime, I'm waiting for the right one to come along.....
