Settling down- what does it mean to you?

From the heart.....


After living a fulfilled adventurous single life, and here comes , the word "settle down"what do you think settling down means?-------
Sitting transfixed and shocked at the question thrown at me, oh jeez! I couldn't utter a word , not because I didn't know what to say but because I wasn't expecting such question from Dewale.
I began to stammer trying to figure out the perfect words to use in explaining this term, I began " The word settle down to me means me finding the perfect man,( if there's one)  and becoming comfortable and at ease, establishing a permanent residence in each others heart after the long process of finding the right one" I said jokingly

This cracked Dewale up " You're just so funny, see the way you painted this your definition,anyways, you're right but i was expecting something more interesting, something elaborate and something really from your heart" he said

"Really?" I asked

"Oh yes!" he reaffirmed

Since you wanted something better, can you please tell me what settling down means to you?" I asked

Alright girl, I'll tell you a bit of it though not deviating from what you said before, I'll say to settle down means
***      **********   *****



I hear people make use of this phrasal verb all around while we turn a blind eye to what it really entails .,
Again ,does it mean accepting just anyone that comes your way?
"Hell no" I know you're saying that right now but have you done a close examination on that person you are settling down with?

Wait a minute, Are you really settling down?
When you're settled it means you're at ease and a place of residence has been created in the other person , Are you at ease with him/her? Because we ain't no super humans ! He's got to be lovable and willing to forgive , because there's no way we gonna live together without getting on each other's toe!
Little wonder why marriages are folding up because couples are finding their spouse's unforgivable.
When you're at ease , there are no secrets, he/she is your best friend in whom you share all of you with.
When you're settled you do not wish you never married him/ her rather you appreciate God for bringing your spouse your way!
When you're settled you find every imperfections about your spouse perfect, you love them for it!
My dear ......
Hope you're not being bothered by what people will say if you cancel the wedding?
Are you sure you just do not want to satisfy your parents by not thwarting long term relationship your parents have with his?
Are you moved by his money?
Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with him?
 Make sure you're at ease with him, make sure you're really settling down....
