Surprising “survey” finds marriage is a priority amongst college students
Our son Torrey is a Junior at Central Michigan University and he recently relayed a story that took place in one of his classes. The Professor ran through an exercise designed to help everyone “get to know you better” Basically she listed around 20 items like: Find a cure for cancer, be a millionaire by age 30, be famous…etc. Each student could pick 3 items off the list then they had to “defend” why they picked those three.
One item on the list was “have a happy marriage”. Our son went on to explain that HE certainly picked that as one of his top three, but he didn’t believe many of the other students in his class would. Much to his surprise when nearly 90% of the class picked “have a happy marriage” as one of their top three from the list.
Torrey went on to say that there were two basic reasons given for picking “have a happy marriage”, they were:
1) My parents have a good marriage and I want one too.
2) My parents marriage is awful and I don’t want that.
The desire for a happy marriage is present, strong and unquenchable. The work it takes to make a happy marriage is what most people standing at the alter do not understand.
What were some of the reasons YOU chose to marry?
