Yes, we focus too much on what the culture dictates and what the environment with what others say over what we really want. A lot of people need to understand that marriage is a private party. You will be the one to face everything alone. If they push you into a marriage you are not mentally ready for, you will be the one to suffer it the most and not them, which is why it is important to shun every word that negates what we believe in and what we want to do. As you have said, it is a call to greater responsibility which must not be joked with.

Thanks a lot, my friend.
