the number one most stressful life event is the death of a spouse. it's an event that merits a '100' rating on the scale. the next-highest event, divorce, is a 73 -- followed by marital separation, coming in at a 65.
marriage is a 50. trouble with in-laws, shared finances, children, and a spouse's work all follow down the line.
i just re-read the wikipedia article. if you're a 'non-adult,' getting married rates 101 on the scale. which seems like cheating. but, more importantly, when does a non-adult become an adult?
why, again, do people get married?

People get married cause it's the most fun thing EVER! (um, except for when you're husband is a major pain, like mine is being this week as he studies for the Bar. But, let's not focus on my problems....)
Based on our few conversations, you are more adult than a lot of 30+ people i know. It's less age, more attitude and thought. You'll be an amazing wife.
I'm so checking out that anxiety book. Thanks for the recommendation. ;0
ha! you're making me laugh, lesley. the book that emily recommended is the anxiety and phobia workbook, 4th edition. it's great.
