Not until you're 30!

The famous last words about relationships from Mrs.Brock... not until you're 30! I continuously tell my students that they should wait until early 20's to date... late 20's to marry... and no babies until you've celebrated 30! These conversations are usually followed by, "my cousin has a baby and she's 12".... or "Mrs.Brock, my mom isn't even 30 yet"... or "Mrs.Brock, I already have a boyfriend"... and yes, these are 8 and 9 year olds we're talking about-- but in order to be pregnant at 12--- you don't even want to think about what happens at 8!

I'm jumping on my soap box about relationships for just a minute... it has been proven to be nearly impossible to stay married today... I think you have a better chance of winning the lottery than staying married...

let's take for instance our friends that were married last Halloween... they dated for years... engaged for a couple of years... great wedding... honeymooned over the holidays... end up in a drunk fight a couple of weeks ago... and the new bride sleeps with her husbands best friend (who was also the best man in their wedding)...

or we could talk about the couple that was married right before Jason and I.... great wedding... seemingly perfect couple... great jobs... great future... great first house.... adorable baby that was born last October.... and I guess a great-er bartender from some dive bar in Waukesha... that's right... in this scenario Mr.husband just confessed to having a mistress on the side for the past 12 months.... I guess the word leaked out when Mr.husband called really nice friend to see if Mr.Husband and dirty-bartending-'mistress' could spend the night together at nice friend's house... (hotels were getting expensive I guess)

I mean, really... you do not have to get married... why go through the heartache and headache if you still had a little 'itch'? I mean, really... take care of the itch before you get married!

Thank you... amen...
