Marriage class was fun today

This abviously is not the first time I am bloggiong about marriage, so here it goers again! I am taking a marriage class this semester and have found a new love for it. Today in class after we took our test, we met again and discussed being single VS. married. We had three girls who were single and three boys who were single as well. The teacher asked questions like advantages and disadvantages of being single, and some shared their points of views, while others simply gave the " I dunno" answer. Duds to say the least. I am a single woman and I LOVE it! Some advantages of being single in my opinion arer that you have all of the freedom you could possibly want. You have no one to answer to. You can go wherever-whenever. As much as I do love being single, I do get those lonely feelings, especially when I need something fixed! haha but It always nice to have that companionship in another person. When the married people came up to the panel for questioning, thats when the fun began! There only 3 women-ages 23, 34 and 35. No married men in the class-go figure. These girls were hilarious! The 35 yr old woman was marriend to a Lebanese man- Being Lebanese, I understood her point of view-and she was speaking about the cultural differences and the problems that arose from the oppisite cultural backgrounds. Along with that, the 24 yr old was a christians and her husband was a jahova. Talk about major differences! It was very interesting to hear about all of their funny stories and how they each changed form dating and even living together, to being married-nothing changing but a signed piece of paper! Needless to say, it was a good day at school!
