Why You Should Get Married Now (Level 1)

Long ago, people married very quickly. They often met their partner only once before the wedding. Today, we are different. We wait a long time. We date for years to test our relationship. We want to find a perfect match, or a "soulmate." We think we must be exactly the same to be happy. Our ancestors had a different idea. They believed commitment was the most important thing. They did not look for a perfect match first. Instead, they worked hard to build love over time. They believed that if you want to stay together, you can solve any problem. Maybe we worry too much about finding the right person. The most important thing might be the desire to make the marriage work.
