A hopeless romantic is what I would have called myself two years ago, now I feel like I am a realistic romantic. One of my other teachers this semester is a woman in her early forties, unmarried, and thinks that the act of marrying for love is absurd. At first I thought that SHE was being absurd, however after much thinking on my part I have come to find that she might be right. In most movies, love prevails over all, why? Is it because it does not actually happen for everyone? I like watching cheesy com-roms because I can leave my world for an hour and half and be in another where a couple goes through a circus of rides and then ends up together. Most movies, do not however mention what will happen in ten years. Will they get married, have a child, stay together or break up? With every aspect of our culture, every one's opinions seem to differ, and people just want different things. However, there are several benefits for marriage, whether it is for love or not.
The biggest deal to me about getting married is Social Security. There is no better way to ensure that you are going to be taken care of when you retire and your children have sucked all of the money out of you. Also being married gives you insurance benefits that are not offered for those who are not married.
