Yeah, if you end up getting married it's definitely better to have your own life together first rather than just jumping into it. Its pretty common these days for people to rush into things only to find they can't afford living together/a family ect and that messes up their whole lives.
I really cannot see myself ever getting married, mainly because I don't want to be tethered to one person my whole life. I don't really have a plan for what I'll do, but the Christian camp I've been involved in for a few years was talking about how we're supposed to serve the Lord and how to do that, and how if we ask God for guidance He'll show us how He wants us to do stuff for 'im. So I did that and got hooked up with their afterschool program where I'll be a 3rd grade counselor, and I'll probably stick around after high school and see where that takes me and what other opportunities come up. So since I don't know where I'll end up plus I probably won't be sticking around anywhere, I don't need a guy being all, "ohhhuhhuh linda honey what about our house on the hill and raising kids and getting a dog and-" I don't want none of it!
Any time I find myself thinking about possibly dating someone, I think about the long term implications and immediately lose interest lmao.
