This is true and I have to agree with you. I feel that mostly in this part of the world, we marry because we are of age, not necessarily for love. We tend to grow into it because true love must have no class or career barrier. We shouldn't be able to choose who we fall in love with but sometimes we try to play it safe and weigh some options which is still okay though because love should be enjoyed and not endured.
Our love language also play a part in the kind of person we "choose". Imagine someone whose love language is touch and she decides to date a sailor...who would be on the sea for the better part of the year... It would be tough. So, we sometimes settle with those we can have easy access to as you have said and those whose career can fit into ours as we both make things work. So, yes, in a way, our career path somehow narrow things down for us.
But you know I love you, baby... We are both writers so our career path led us together ❤️😍
I think that's the mistake most people make, marrying just because they feel it's time.
Also the thing about love languages, most people don't realize how big that is and how many quarrels can be avoided simply by knowing and understanding your partner's love language.
I don't think a career is what I look at for love though, it is so myopic.
Absolutely, baby...it is too myopic and it has defeated the whole love thing. Yes, most people like to speak in the language they understand rather than act in the language their partner understands.
And it is very important to speak in your partner's language or else.
A lot would be lost in translation if that's not the case.
I think in my next relationship I would need to be intentional about this.
That would be amazing but I assume you are talking with me, right? 😍😍😍
Who else will I be talking about?
