When I was about 6, I remember being terrified because I thought when I grew up, I'd have to marry a woman. I even cried myself to sleep thinking about it sometimes. For some reason I always wanted to marry a man instead even at that young age. Sixteen years later and I still do.
I was thrilled, later on, when I found out people didn't have to get married at all!
