Propaganda I'm Not Falling For: Marriage Is the Final Bus Stop
<p>Welcome back to my series on the "propaganda" I'm not buying into. Today's topic is a big one, something deeply ingrained in our society: the idea that marriage is the "final bus stop," the ultimate destination after which personal growth, adventure, and individual identity simply cease.</p><p><br/></p><p>It's a narrative we see everywhere. Movies and books often end with a wedding, suggesting that "happily ever after" is a static state achieved by finding the right person. Society, in its own subtle ways, reinforces this by treating married people as having "completed" a major life stage. You've made it, so what's next? A house, kids, and a steady, predictable routine. The message is that the exciting, self-exploratory part of life is now over, and you've settled into a predefined path.</p><p><br/></p><p>I'm just not falling for it. I believe that a healthy marriage shouldn't be a bus stop at all—it should be a launchpad. It's not the end of a personal journey; it's the beginning of a shared one. A partnership should be a foundation that gives you the security and support to pursue new passions, face new challenges, and continue to grow as an individual. The idea that marriage signals the end of adventure or personal discovery is, to me, a form of intellectual and emotional stagnation.</p><p><br/></p><p>True love and partnership aren't about stopping; they're about evolving together. The propaganda that promotes marriage as a static final chapter completely misses the point of a lifelong commitment. A great marriage is a dynamic force that encourages both individuals to become the best versions of themselves, individually and as a couple. It’s an ongoing adventure, not a destination.</p>
