I love the PUSH mashal. Good metaphor!
It’s really important not to just get married b/c you want to get married. You SHOULD feel good about getting married, not like it’s a way out of something or there’s nothing better to do. If you marry for the wrong reasons, you will either be miserable or divorced, like one of the previous posters commented. If you should happen to be single, it’s okay to be sad…sometimes…but don’t wallow in it, and don’t let that rule your life.
I think that’s what the people who say “this will pass” mean. I don’t think they are promising anything. They are just telling you not to worry about it, b/c worrying is so draining and futile. If you’re single, you should travel and you should have fun. If you want to get married, and you’re trying, then you aren’t doing anything wrong. So don’t wallow…
