I have a great marriage phobia, which makes my family question why would I date my boyfriend this long. A good question, actually. Since me and my boyfriend have been together for the last five years. During these years, we've talked about our future but never mention marriage. Probably because we're just scared, or the fact that we can never be married in Indonesia. The Indonesian marriage law has been interpreted as prohibiting marriage between people who follow different religions. The only practical alternative is for one of the two to convert to the other faith. Another option is that the couples get married in another country that legalizes inter-religious marriages.
This brings me to my obsession: to against marriage in young age. I,whatsoever, sum up that there is no good to get married in such young age - especially in your 20's. For me it is much better to pursue my career, or travel, or even get involved to humanitarian acts...rather than get married. No wonder, I always laugh my ass off every time I read about "celebrities who get married and want dozen of kids" on the magazine. That's the silliest opinion I've ever read (besides my own opinion--to some people), why would you want a dozen of kids? Are you sure you can take care of them all? Providing them with sufficient love and care? Will you be able to pay they schools? Toys? Diapers? Oh well, to quote Pope Francis, "Who am I to judge?". For I know, that "dozen of kids" will be taken care of their mother's assistants: a.k.a nannies. What a wise mom.
Earlier this morning, I read Pope Francis' twitter status. He encouraged young people to be brave to embrace marriage. It was certainly non-sense to me, as I don't believe in marriage. Then, I kept reading his twit and he said, "A faithful marriage will bring you happiness". #snap!

Dear young people, don’t be afraid to marry. A faithful and fruitful marriage will bring you happiness.
