Kristin-- Thank you. As someone who is single and hopes to me married one day, sometimes I feel envious or left out when it seems that most of my friends are all married.  But I appreciate your honesty and perspective--your questions and thoughts remind me that it is worth waiting for. I am going to save this post and make sure that I can whole-heartedly and individually answer these questions before I enter into a committed relationship with someone else : ) Thanks!
