Generation "Delayed Family"

So a patron of mine asked me if I would get married someday.  I said maybe.  It depends.  Then I realized that it depended on my success.  I have to find success in what I do good.  I don't want to be successful at something other than what I WANT to do good.  Does that make me selfish?  Or does that make me protective?


I think nowadays people get married because they want to.  Before they did it for social status, a better future, a better life.  We have a choice now.  I think most people would choose not to for the sheer fact of less drama.  What does getting married entitle us with?  A lifelong partner.  Is marriage the meaning of having a FUTURE with someone?  Can't we have one without it?  Is a legality issue when it comes to what you get to keep and not to keep?  When does it all just phase out for the better good or the judgment of good?


I know I would delay for the mere fact that I can barely support myself financially and emotionally. How the hell am I to juggle two?  Its a balancing act for sure, but when the dance is all done... its not just two.  Now there's three.  And its not a balancing act anymore -- its a dance routine.
