I wasted more years than I should have being “wild and free” not a lot of regrets but if I had it to do over I’d do a few things differently, just like most of us. Live and learn.

I have two great kids and had them both in longterm relationships unmarried (I later married my daughters mom) but neither were ideal relationships. It took me a long time to realize that God’s plan for marriage wasn’t to be a joy a kill but to prevent the undue stress and hardship that falls on everyone involved when people hook up outside of a committed relationship.
