Master status is “…a status that has special importance for social identity, often shaping a person's entire life” (Macionis, 2013, p. 97). The master status I identify with the most as it has the greatest impact on my social identity is always being physically connected with my future wife Kaisha as society allows by holding hands or other innocent ways of being physically together, and the title of this a particular description of the master status is "one who is part of that couple that never lets go" (as labeled by others). There are many role sets related to my master status, such as playing the role of a loving partner, the role of a future husband, the role of a caring friend, and the role of a protective partner. Role sets are “…a number of roles linked to a single status” (Macionis, 2013, p. 98). I wasn't born with the decision to find a partner that I would never let go of (to the best of my ability), so this is a status achieved because Kaisha and I made a personal choice to do so because of the overwhelming feeling for us to be united and be as close as possible. Kaisha and I wanted to express our unity in this way because we felt inspired by God because of how attached Christ was to the church and how marriage should be as Christ (the husband) is with the church (the wife). In no way do Kaisha and I take on the privileges of marriage any time soon, but we consider ourselves married by faith (which means in the future and something we hope for, but don't have marriage upon us in the present) time). I would never dare say that being married and having children means never letting go physically or at least always being in the same vicinity as your partner, but of course... middle of paper... rest of our lives whenever possible (always side by side and touching us physically). Finally, due to our master status, people thought that I had sexual relations with Kaisha or at least kissed a lot because of the way we acted, but this is far from the truth; also, Kaisha and I haven't even kissed and we want to save this for when we get legally married. I feel at peace about leaving the kisses and everything for when we get married, but because of my master status there was a lot of disbelief about this goal of marriage. I don't care what the world thinks of me because of my status as a master and my future goals, because I'd rather be honest and be seen as fake by the world than be truly fake and be seen as honest by the world.
