" I never think about marriage, not even for a single second. It gives me goosebumps. Marrying someone is like going to prison. "I just got into a scandal, then you will just say that I need to marry someone? Dad, marriage is not a joke; you can't just say it like it's not a big deal! It's my life that will be ruined if I just marry someone that I don't even love," I said, and I was about to walk away from my father, but I heard him talk again.

What she found interesting did not interest Chris, and what interested Chris she understood nothing about. Even if she did understand a little, her basic level of knowledge on the topic would not spark any interest in him. How many couples, initially deeply in love, gradually drift apart due to different interests and the gap in their perspectives? Although she and Chris were very affectionate now, she was uncertain if their marriage would turn out like that. They had only been married for a few months, not even a year. They were in the honeymoon phase now, but what about later? No one knew what the future held.

Our life is plain and routine, without dramatic ups and downs or messy conflicts. To outsiders, we are just an ordinary young couple. The only thing is that busyness has reduced our time together, and most of our conversations are about daily chores, with less of the intimate interaction we had when dating. But this is common in adult marriages, and I never thought anything bad of it. Our third wedding anniversary was in one week. I wanted to prepare a gift quietly to add a little ceremony to our dull life. Usin

Harold paused and slowly looked up at her, “You …” “That’s okay,” Tricia interrupted immediately and gently pulled him to have his seat before looking back up at Katie. “Six months,” “Six months?! You dated for six months and that’s enough for you to decide to get married?!” Jane asked raising her brows at her. “Uhh, ma’am , I …”

A knowing smile plastered on my lips before I placed a reassuring hand on her thigh . "Hey, it’s not as bad as you think. Use the wedding as an opportunity. Talk to him, explain the misunderstanding. Easy, right?" She rolled her eyes, her expression doubtful. "Easier said than done." "Well, you don’t have a choice.” I smirked then it disappeared as a thought made me hesitate, “If things works out between you two, don't rush into marriage yet. In fact, don't get married. Dating is better than marriage. It messes with your head." I advised her truthfully.

We might have spent our marriage years as being friends and business partners but we can start something new, like dating” “But we are married” Her eyelids fluttered. “We both know that it is for the formalities and dating in marriage…..” She pulled away, tossing her head to the back as she cut in. “Is that a thing” “It doesn’t have to be a thing. We will make it work, I promise” Her lips were apart before a faint smile spread across her face and she nodded. “But don’t you think that we are moving too fast?” “We can always take things slow. We have all the time in the world”

"So, when is the marriage date?" she asked, gleaming with mischief. Klay replied with an unmistakable note of impatience in his voice. "I want it as soon as possible, but she wants to go through all the stages that every couple goes through: dating, engagement, and then marriage." Miriam placed the meat on the grill: "She's right," she declared without hesitation. Philip leaned forward with his elbows on the table. "No offense, but what makes you say she's right? In my opinion, that's just a waste of time."

A gentle female voice quickly reached his ear, filled with excitement. "How did the date go, Kane? The dating app worked out well, didn't it? Did you like the actress?" Maris had been urging Kane to get married for years, and now that he seemed happy going on a date, she was overjoyed. She had even prepared dates with beautiful actresses and models of the right age for Kane, ready to set them up in case he wasn't satisfied with today's girl. "Mom, I and she got married." Kane poured himself a glass of water, swirled it around like a glass of wine, and took a sip casually. On the other end, Maris seemed to be slow to react, lost in her own pace.

He parroted. “Y-yeah.” I stuttered, feeling embarrassed for bringing up such a question. “I’m not forbidding you to date others, of course, but if we are supposedly married, I doubt you could go out on dates?” My statement was more like a question because I wasn’t certain. “While only my grandfather will know about our marriage if he sees an article about me on a date, he’ll go crazy, so no, I’m not going to date other women.” “So you’re going to be celibate?”
