Should I Think Of Marriage Before I’m Even In College?

We’ve always heard the stories of little girls who dream about their wedding day since age five.  Is this weird?  No. We are all born with a desire for relationship and one of the strongest relationships is marriage.  But should we even think about marriage when we’re just having fun in high school?  I’m not saying marriage should always be on our minds, but we do need to consider the importance of relationships.  We have to take relationships seriously because we are shaped by our experiences.  In other words, habits we have in relationships now will carry over into our relationships in the future.  As you read this, I bet your saying, “yeah, but people change.”  It is rare that a person’s personality changes, but their habits may change.  BUT NOT OVERNIGHT!  For example, if a person has issues with addiction in high school they will probably always have issues with addiction, BUT how they handle dealing with addiction may change over time.  Make no mistake, what a person does in high school will impact their future relationships.  If you want to have a healthy marriage in the future you will be wise to be careful what you do with relationships in high school. Believe it or not, you really are preparing for marriage now even though it may not be on your radar at the moment.
