Kimberly, yes, as JMG would say, this is definitely a case of “the opposite of a bad idea is another really bad idea”. And here we are.
Anyway, I’m definitely with you re: erring on the side of caution when comes to marriage over single life. I tend to think that marriage is one of the primary and necessary challenges for the incarnating human soul; the astrological 7th house (house of marriage, partnership) is, following the ego-building and individuation processes of houses 1-6, the soul’s first introduction to interaction, negotiation, collectivity, sacrifice for others, etc. I mean, it’s a spiritual necessity for all people, at least at some point in their arc upwards.
Somewhere I read about discarnate spirit, a guy who while he was corporeal kept putting off marriage life after life just because he didn’t want to accept the responsibility, having too much fun without it, you know …. so his guardian spirits had it so arranged that he found himself married in the upper planes and for a lengthy duration. I can see it happening.
Not good that there is this current across-the-board animosity towards marriage, for obvious reasons.
