... To make a marriage work, you need to know what you want out of life!
You can’t build a lifetime relationship on love alone"; you need a lot more!!!
Love is not the basis for getting married. Rather, love is the result of a good marriage .
Choosing a life partner should never be based on love.
When it comes to making the decision about choosing a life partner, no one wants to make a mistake.. Yet, with a divorce rate of close to 50%, it appears that many are making serious mistakes in their approach to finding Mr./Miss. Perfect Right! If you ask most couples who are engaged why they ' re getting married, they ' ll say: "We ' re in love"; I believe this is the ..1 mistake people make when they date.

I think young people should spend two years getting to know each other, before tying the knot.

Totally agree!! Love is not the be all end all in a relationship.

Jan 27You're right. Love isn't everything. A woman needs to be capable of many things. Cooking, cleaning, washing up, ironing, cleaning the car, entertaining her partner, singing, dancing, shopping, looking good at all times, being romantic, sense of humour, able to carry out enjoyable conversation.
Just a few things there. Does that help?

Makes sense to me now, Teena, but didn't when I was much younger ( I was more naïve and idealistic then).

True love when the couple are friends and share their thoughts and hopes and become what we call soul mates, is the primary objective. You then have the best chance to be successful in the long term relationship, but there is never a guarantee, though life experience offers the best hope, as it does for every important activity a human participates in.
