About M.I.N.T.G - Marriage Is Not The Goal

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator. The idea of looking forward to something that is not promised can lead to the realization of… We have bought into the promotion and the packaging of love. We have come to believe that marriage is a milestone awaiting us. The disappointment when something steps into our path of bliss can be scarring. Cartoons, bedtime stories, TV shows, movies, school, family, and music have instilled in us the stories of marital success. From the crushes in middle school that never panned out, the high school sweethearts and heart breaks, the "first loves", the one night stand, the missed opportunities, our mess ups, booty calls, affairs, the true love that didn't work out, the miscommunications, the break ups over pride and ego, the bad timings, & so on. Deep down we firmly believe that marriage is a possibility for us in the future. We treat these situations like war scars, relationship battles, wins, and losses to the point where we make declarations like it's time for my payoff. Most of us are seeking the big payoff. Nowadays we must navigate the influx of social media, cat fishing, dating app scams, & artificial intelligence which can all sell us the idea of hope. We become confused as to what is and not owed to us in our love life
