Marriage, for many women, represents the pinnacle of a lifelong dream, a milestone that marks the fulfillment of a deep-seated desire. However, for others, like you, it can feel more like a form of resignation—accepting another person’s flaws for life despite the promise of love “for better or worse.” This compromise doesn’t always seem appealing.

Relationships, with all their complexities, can become a challenge, especially in a time when everything seems temporary, like a disposable contact lens. When your friends talk about marriage, you might feel stuck, perhaps because deep down, you sense that the traditional concept of marriage might not align with your vision of life and relationships.

Then there’s Samantha, the character who seems to embody the refusal to conform to certain ideals. In “Sex and the City,” while Carrie embarks on her quest for “true love” with all its complexities, Samantha chooses a different path. She prefers to focus on herself, taking care of her body, even through small aesthetic interventions like Profhilo injections, which represent her way of facing the passage of time.

Samantha loves men for their masculinity, for the pleasure they bring her, rather than for their personality or the promise of eternal love. For her, marriage isn’t the ultimate goal; it’s just one of many options, and not necessarily the best one.

Perhaps that’s the key: there is no single answer, no formula for a perfect marriage or a successful relationship. The real challenge lies in finding what makes you happy, whether it’s marriage, an open relationship, or simply self-love. After all, the important thing isn’t following a script, but writing your own story, with your own rules and priorities.
