I have been very fortunate in my life, I found a wonderful man when I was young and we have shared 25 wonderful years together. It is not an easy journey though, I fell pregnant before Dave and I were married and I was not sure when he offered to marry me if it was because he felt duty bound or if he really loved me and was ready to take on all the responsibilities as a husband and father.
My three adult children have not been as fortunate as their father and me. Nathan also married young to a wonderful girl, Sammy and they just could not make their relationship work through economic hardships, drug addiction, gambling and ultimately an affair ruined the trust that they had. Nathan has grown up so much from the experience and says he does not regret a moment of the time they spend together; they may even be friends one day. I think Nathan will marry again, but this time he will be ready for what that commitment really means.
My golden son Ben married the love of his life Melissa and she was taken away from him before their young lives could really begin, they had dreams and hopes for their future and were already talking about starting a family. I only hope that he can find that kind of connection with another young woman and he can find a way forward in his life... it is still too soon to tell.
I am not sure if marriage is something that Rachel really wants, she has had a strong relationship with Jake but has just ended it to chase her dreams to New York, where Jake would be happy to stay in Australia and have a family. Rachel wants so much more… I only hope that she finds happiness and fulfillment.
