Jessica Alba Hated The Idea Of Getting Married
Now this is something you don't hear women saying every day! Jessica Alba confessed to UK Cosmopolitan magazine that she had a hard time coming to terms with the idea of marrying Cash Warren because she did not want to vow to "obey" her husband. (Doesn't she know you ca have "obey" taken out of the vows these days?) "I had a hard time agreeing with marriage at all because I feel like its been warped. Originally, it was two families coming together to make a stronger family. It was about survival ? not love or soulmates. And now the way they market marriage ? even as a kid through Disney movies ? is that it's all about Prince Charming sweeping you off your feet. "There's this mentality that you need the big dress and the big day ? the day every girl gets to be a princess. I didn't agree with any of that. This tradition of obeying your husband like he's your king? It's a load of crap. Love and honour, yes. But you should love and honour yourself too, and all your friends." What changed Jessica's mind? Knowing she and Cash were committed to each other. "I chose to get married because, essentially, you're given a deck of cards in life. The hand you were dealt with is your family and you can't choose them. But the one person you can choose to bring into your life as your family and to have that unconditional love with is your husband and wife. I'm choosing you as my family and we're going to love each other through thick and thin." That is a wonderful way to look at marriage! I'm glad Jessica was able to reframe it for herself :) Photos by INF
