Because two of my best friends are getting married I have decided to post a marriage quote today. 

I am so happy for my friends that they have found people they want to share everything with for the rest of their lives. 

Personally, it sounds tiring, so i'm glad someone else is doing it instead of me!
I have spent a lot of time with one of my friends (I can't say her name because the engagement is not public yet) and her fiance and they seem like one of the best couples I've met.
The best part about them is you can just see that they love each other so much, it's practically leaking from their pores.
It's so excellent.
I am so glad they found each other and didn't fall into a meaningless/loveless marriage with someone besides each other.

Congrats to my two best friends that I love so dearly.

I hope you are the happiest you have ever been!

Now here is my quote that I believe in 100%.

Living in Utah, I see so many people just floating into pointless marriages that they are using as an escape.

I see my friends get married and three months later they have gained weight and broke out in acne and look terribly depressed.  

If or when I get married, I want my husband to be my best friend.

I want to feel like I have known him my whole life.

I want him to be able to listen to me and talk with me when things are hard and when i'm hurt.

But then he will know when i'm done being sad and make me laugh.

So here's the quote:

"I don't want to be married just to be married. 

I can't think of anything lonelier than spending the rest of my life 

with someone I can't talk to. or worse, someone 

I can't be silent with.
