Getting Married… and My Brain Won’t Stop Overthinking

I’m at that age where marriage and having kids are starting to feel like real possibilities. I do want a family someday, but then my overthinking kicks in and starts creating every possible worst-case scenario about marriage and my future partner. I know marriage is a big responsibility, but I also know I’m probably thinking about it way more than I need to.
For those of you who are married, did you have these thoughts before getting married too? Or did you just take the leap and figure things out along the way?

Sometimes we marry the right person, sometimes we don’t.

That’s life - much of it is a leap of faith. 🤷‍♀️

Marriage takes a lot of work and effort at times, but if you’re right for each other, it’ll all pan out.

My first marriage ended after 20+ years, but I got my second marriage right. 🥂

If you love your partner, then just go with the flow. 👍

What DiamondLily says 😃
Life’s a lottery isn’t it?

There isn’t just one perfect partner out there, there will be thousands, but if you keep dithering for years you’ll never marry.
If things seem right with someone then go for it.
