My generation seems to think that it is a sin to want to settle down, get married and raise a family because "That's what the man wants you to do." No. It is what your instincts want you to do. In fact, part of the reason we have so many unplanned pregnancies is BECAUSE OF BIRTH CONTROL PUSHING PROPAGANDA AND PARENTS SHAMING THEIR KIDS WHO WANT TO RAISE A FAMILY AT A YOUNG AGE.
I am not saying that you shouldn't wait until you are ready.
I am not saying go have kids with someone who beats you or makes you unhappy.
I am not telling you not to use birth control or safe sex.
I am telling you not to be afraid to desire marriage, a future and a family with someone in the future. Make these desires known within the first 3 dates and make sure that you and the other person involved are serious about this goal. Don't make dating about mindless sex and having fun all of the time.. That is how a serious partner gets bored with you and moves onto someone more serious than you.. That is how you get your heart broken and cheated on..
Learn about what makes the other person happy and what upsets them. Develope communication skills between the 2 of you so that you can both thrive in a committed relationship if it goes that far. Be yourself so you can be happy LONG TERM.
This is also an interactive post. Comment your thoughts, experiences and how you feel. My question is, how do you feel about your future? Do you want to be married and raise a family? Or live life solo?
