Mind you this is absolutely fine as well, there's more to life then following what society defines as the normal thing to do. The only thing you need to worry about is being happy, and doing what it takes to get there. Remember, take control of life, don't let it control you. By being passive, just sitting and letting day after day go by is not being in control. I can promise you that if you don't take action, you're jeopardizing your future.
Life is too short to watch it go by.
Someone who'll take care of you when you're not feeling well, a special someone who is your soul mate. If you're telling me there is nothing else more that you want in life is to wake up to the person who has pledged their life to you, then you're accepting a potentially massive amount of dedication is required. Both before and after marriage. Then you need to do what it takes. And it takes total strategy, and a bit of luck.
