from this day forward until death do us part
According to the way famous psychologist Erik Erickson, all young adults reach a conflict called Intimacy vs. Isolation. In this stage of life if one is not able to seek out a companion/partner he or she will suffer from feelings of isolation. I certainly cannot believe in everything I read about theories concerning psychosocial developmental trends, but I agree with Eric Erickson on his eight stages of psychosocial development. Well I am a young adult and it just so happens that I meet a wonderful individual who I have known for quite some time now. His name is Chris and I have some pictures of him in my photo gallery. Anyway he proposed to me several months ago and we are going to marry in December. OMG I am getting married!!! But surely enough I am ready for it. According to Erickson I have two more stages to go: Generitivity vs. Stagnation (middle adulthood) and Ego Integrity vs. Despair (late adulthood). Luckily, I will get to spend the last two stages of my life with Chris.
