Hates waiting?

Mary, when you are being pressured to marry quickly, it is not being done out of love, it is because the object of your affections has an agenda. I know, my ex-boyfriend did too. Within a month, he was pushing me to marry him. Yes, it is hard to leave them behind, but what is better--to get married just because you don't want to be alone--or to do what's smart and find someone else out there who is more matched to you, and is not going to rush you.

Changing your religion as a requirement? Not an option in my book. But yet he had me reading the Q'uran and was drilling it into my head how his faith was better than mine, I am glad I walked away and got out. You should take some time to reconsider why you would marry a man who puts conditions on you like this and cannot just accept you the way you are.
