Choices that come with being young and single and being married
Saturday, September 8th
During my morning meditation, internally I heard, "You can sit still...until married." I had asked my Spirit Guide what I needed to know today. I asked what I could share with my young son-a life lesson. We are having a "boys weekend" together.
My take away from the message was life is pretty simple when your a young adult and single. In general, only have to think of one's self. One can do whatever one wants to do or choose not to do anything at all! Just need to meet the basic needs in life: Do well in college (if choose to go) and hold down a steady job that pays the bills; food, shelter, clothing, and transportation.
On the other hand, if married, you are now in a partnership, hopefully by sound choice. You need to learn to compromise, be thoughtful and considerate of another person's needs and wants, be open to many future goals involving the both of you. If choose to have a child or a few, then there are a lot of moving pieces and planning going on: where to live, whether to buy or rent a home, future schools, higher education, engaging and sharing your children with family members, time and energy raising the children with morals and values, etc...
Take away, most people have the choice to chill and take it slow and easy when young and single. When married, if you're not doing the hard work of open communication, personal growth, being flexible, acting selfless, setting and achieving goals individually and as a couple, then this relationship can easily become compromised and fall apart. In addition, time moves super fast when married with children!
Yesterday, I texted with my sister who's only daughter is now married and pregnant. She just got married this summer. She is in her early twenties. This phrase would be very applicable to her!
