Marriage & Kids Ain’t for Everybody!

Let's normalize that just because you CAN get married and have children does not mean that you need to! Your relationships and romantic connections need to be solid before adding the thought of permanency. Are you guilty of assuming they are The One just because they are "nicer" than your ex? If you are "dating to marry," do you habitually ask people if they can see a lifetime with you with limited information? Do you reveal your traumas immediately to test if they can handle what comes with you, only to hyperfocus on how quickly you can form vulnerability and closeness? Have you been taught to believe in a meaningful wedding or proposal more than understanding the foundation of what helps a healthy relationship work? Are you a product of "making it work for the kids" but might feel guilty because you may not even want kids? If any of these questions apply to you, then today's episode will guide you!
