Ever made an emotional decision and regretted it?
We can often think we know what we want when
we want it and don't think about the consequences.
Weddings are a great example in western society,
for some reason the wedding day has all been made
to centre around the bride, forgetting that the
wedding day is actually just a door way to the
marriage, the marriage, THE MARRIAGE!
Because of the height of emotion in planning this
day, all of a sudden all reasoning seems to go out
the door and this girl child that you have lovingly
raised wants (and sometimes demands) to have..
the perfect ring
the perfect dress
the perfect groom
the perfect bridesmaids
the perfect nails
the perfect hair
the perfect flowers
the perfect venue
the perfect photos
the perfect cars
the perfect honeymoon
the perfect house
the list could go on and on, I popped the groom in
the mix somewhere because he does seem to end
up there at times, just as part of the list. The
headache of giving in to these demands can have
far reaching effects, for both newly married couples
and contributing parents.
This is just an example of letting emotion overtake
us, let us not be a part of manipulating our own
lists to get our own way when we are highly
emotional, wait until we have worked through
what is going on, applying reason to our situations.
(Not to manipulate then, haha) but to make good
sound choices for our futures.
