Connubial Butterfly Kisses

I read an enkindling article on women and their sentiments of marriage (NST). It was a good read and I wanted to share the excerpts as well as my reflections on this matter.
New Straits Times
“80 per cent of women professionals between the ages of 25 and 40 prefer to marry after 30 or not at all. Reason : A lack of sexual desire, career priorities, infertility and a search for rich husbands. And that while they want their husbands to spend on them, they refuse to share their salaries with their husbands. A career means a lot to women as it symbolised independence.
A professional woman’s expectation that the future husband’s income be in the RM10,000 to RM20,000 bracket. There are many unmarried women around who they can hook up with as it is common in urban societies for couples to practise free sex without the strictures and morality of marriage. ”
First of all, where is this free sex urban society located and how do I join? LOL!
I think this is a globular evolutionary trend. Even men at certain age marry just for the sake of marrying – which in reality, is a sad circumstance. Men may not be really beguiled by love, but simply want their generation to ramble on. It’s also an obvious fact that most professional women prefer rich men. I mean why not? Though it may sound a little condescending, it’s well within their rights on how they winnow their men. I mean, we all want a better life, don’t we? If it’s love, so be it, and if it isn’t, then what’s the big deal? Let’s be pragmatic here. 6.5 billion people on the planet.Â
When I was 19 (1997), I always had in mind to only settle down when I’m in my early 30’s. It is primarily because of bachelorhood and a sense of freedom. I always felt (at that time) that I was never cut out to be a dad before I turn 30. That cerebration changed in early 2005. I turned 28 last December and have now accepted the thought of settling down. It may not be because love, as I know we could always grow to love someone. It’s more for wanting a child of my own – especially a baby girl. Yes, I know she’ll probably grow up to be the main grounds for my hemicranias in my later years, but I think I’ll survive. LOL! Don’t get me wrong, would love a son too, definitely. Call me a hopeless romantic, but one of my wishes is to be able to sing at my daughter’s wedding through the words of Bob Carlisle’s Butterfly Kisses. 
“There’s 2 things I know for sure, she was sent here from heaven and she’s daddy’s little girl”“With all that I’ve done wrong I know I must have done something right, to deserve a hug every morning and butterfly kisses at night”
“She’s looking like her mama a little more everyday. One part woman, the other part girl”
“I know I gotta let her go, but I’ll always remember every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses”
