Is Marriage for Me?

       Marriage is the social institution under which a man and a woman establish their decision to live as a wife and husband by legal commitment, religious ceremonies. Being married consist of monogamy,consideration and patience. By saying all of this it takes work to be in a marriage; it means that you should be with that particular person forever. To sum it all up you  have to make sure the person you want to be with is the person you do not mind spending the rest of your life with. I say all this to say I am not ready for marriage at the age of 16.
      Marriage is like a job to me because you have to do everything you can to keep it. For example, if you have a job and love it you will do auxiliary things just to keep it, the same thing applies to a marriage. At my age that is too much because I have my whole life ahead of me to think about marriage, do not get me wrong I do want to get married but, not at this age. I want to go to college and start my own business, I would not have time to be a good wife at that time of my life. Statistically speaking, it says that a woman that gets married at the age of 25 is four times better than an 18 year old getting married. Meaning the odds for an eighteen year old marriage is not likely to succeed.  Also, in my age group I don't meet many boys that I can see myself with for the rest of my life. Many boys at my age are immature, impatient, and are not faithfull; I do not have time for the tears and the games. Honestly, I know how I am and I know that I will get bored very easily and get a divorce. First off, we paid for the wedding and honeymoon and then we didn't make it, that was a waste of money, my time and his time. I'm just not ready for marriage and do not want to be tied down. This is the prime of my life, I am going to graduate next year and start my life off as an adult.   The best thing for me to do is take my time and not find the perfect one but the perfect one for me.

Chik-fil-a Controversy

 

        Mcdonalds, Burger king, Checkers, and Chik-fil-a are some fast food restaurants I have been eating at almost my whole life. I have been eating fast food since I was at least 3 and never had a problem with any of the fast food restaurants, obviously because I was too young to understand what was going on in the world. The more I grew up, found out, and understood what was going on in the wold I gained my own opinion.The president of Chik-fil-a,Dan Cathey, is a God fearing Christian who does not support same sex marriage and also did an interview on it. He stated " that when it comes to legalizing same sex marriage ,"I think we are inviting God's judgement on our Nation when we shake our fist at Him and say we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage," and as I read this I noticed he is gaining more customers who are Christians and people who hate him, which are mainly homosexuals. Honestly, I feel like who is Dan Cathey to sit there and say what he said and think there was nothing wrong with it; I find a lot wrong with that statement by itself.
          For one, how can you bring God in a situation and say the homosexuals think they know better than God when he is speaking as if he knows exactly what God wants. As a result, they made up a Same Sex Kiss Day to really prove a point. I feel like he was brave enough to say what he said because Religion and Homosexuality is a very controversial topic, then he was brave enough to come with the territory that he provided. Quite frankly, I think he brought it on himself. However, I do too understand where he is coming from, he doesn't believe in same sex marriage and he is standing by it which everyone should do when they believe in something. However, his customers are homosexuals and he is not making it a comfortable place for them to come and enjoy their food by saying that satement. Instead its creating a hostile environment. People want to feel comfortable and safe when they go to any kind of restaurant. Don't you? I know I do. To some it all up you get what you ask for or in fast food talk you get what you pay for.
