Why Men Aren't Marrying
06/29/2015


I have been married for 49 years.  The young people today have no commitment.  They stay as children until they are 26.  In my day, you were expected to be self-supporting by the time you were 20.  You were also expected to be an adult by the time you were 18.
 
We raised our children to be able to be on their own by the time they were 18. All but one have several degrees they earned on their own - we only furnished room and board. I have one who going to school because she does not want some 20-year-old to be her boss. 

I have told my children and grandchildren: WHY BUY THE COW WHEN THE MILK IS FREE? If it is not worth working for, it is not worth keeping. It is also not worth giving a ring to. 

Proud dad, 

Eugene
