If you miss the first lady, you might not get anything close to her again, its better to love someone that loves you more than someone you love more

Character is more important has the foundation. Love would follow very shortly after!!!!
NB: Why marry someone you truly love, but she has a bad character? You would quickly fall out of love which such a person!!!

@OP, I have to assume that you and I hold diverse view/understanding about what relationship love truly is. Well, as far as I am concerned, in good character/attitudes (gratefulness, humility, intellect, wisdom,virtuousness) lies the stream of merited relationship love. Something like facial beauty,smile, body carriage, dress sense, accomplishments etc are just the added advantages. In summary, without good characters there won't be genuine love for the informed and sincere one.

Two cannot walk together unless the agree. U can't place Love and Character together because the are two different thing. For me. Love matters more than character because your love can make her change her character if indeed she loves U..

There is always a lot of uncertainty in marriage. The man or woman you think you know today may turn out to be better or worse after marriage. Character can change. There is always a 50/50 chance that a relationship will turn better or worse after the solemnization.

Thus the safest risk (especially for a guy) is to marry someone you love. Even when turbulent times come, it is the love you have for her that will sustain the marriage. On the contrary, if the love or infactuation "disappears", the past memories of the love you once shared (reminiscences) will sustain the marriage. In the very unlikely event that the marriage ends up collapsing, at least you were sincere about your intent of marriage which is love.

On the other hand, you may not be happy all your life if you marry someone you do not romantically love even if the marriage turns out to "peaceful". And if the loveless marriage turns out for the worse, you will regret it all your life.. It is a lose-lose for a loveless marriage.

I don't believe a guy can learn to love a woman he never had feelings for. A guy can only pretend to love a woman he has no feelings for. True marriage can only be built on the foundation of love. Everything else is falsehood and make-believe. Love is worth the risk!

Cheers.......!

BTW....ain't married yet.


Character is far better. Marriage does not run on love alone. Those who have been married a while can tell you that. A stable character is best to enter marriage with because sometimes when the love fails, the individual knows the character will suffice. Those who say character can change should know that character is built over years, love on the other hand relies on many factors (character being one of them).

So shine ya eye!!

I need advise from the married folks here.
There is this lady that i have been dating for over 3 years. She's pretty, her character is almost flawless, neat, domesticated, hardworking, respects and loves me a lot. In short, she will most likely be a good wife. However, I like her but do not love her from the depth of my heart. I have tried hard to love her because shes is a good gal but it just isn't there. However, I am still considering her because she has the best character i have seen amongst all the women I have met. My greatest fear is if i will be able to endure a loveless but relatively peaceful marriage.

On the other hand, I am beginning to fall in love woth someone else that i hardly know. She appears friendly, maybe not as pretty as current girlfriend but her smile can melt my heart. I am very fond of her and I just tend to like eveything about her. I have only known her for a short time and I am almost ready to go ahead with marriage. She's nice but not as loving as my gf. My fear is - what if she turns out to be a lazy, nagging and hateful wife. Will i be able to endure a bad wife that I love so much?

So which is more important to a successful marriage? Love or character? My dear brother, experience is truly the best teacher, wish I had the opportunity to seek peoples opinion like you are doing now. I thought marriage was about love romance and happiness but i learnt the hard way; you only appreciate the lady you claim to love now because you tend to see occasionally but you both become very familiar with each other thats when you will come to appreciate character over the so called romance called love. Marriage is about sacrifice, therefore, happiness in marriage is predicated on your ability and your partners ability to make sacrifice, if its one sided, it will choke you but if it is mutual, then you have made the best choice in marriage. So, if you want to be happy in marriage, marry a woman who can make the highest sacrifice for you and you will never regret it...... Remain blessed.
Which should be the foremost in choosing a wife? To marry a good and loving gal, or to marry a girl I love that may turn out to exhibit some very bad characters?

Only for the married folks please....they have the experience.

Its character. There is a stage in marriage according to my mum where love is no where to be found. Its character that sustains it at this stage. One will have to calm down for peace to reign.

Read 1 Corinthians.
Love is the greatest.
Good character and enviable virtues can only come from love.
Have you ever asked yourself why you don't love her and have stayed with her for 3 years now?
There's is something very special about her that compelled you to stay this long.
Love is developed, built and grown.
NO MARRIAGE COMES WITH LOVE!!!
In every marriage there's is a love basket, what you put inside is what you get.
Hence, you make your bed as you would want to. I'm very sure she has put some effort into it, but you are very busy looking at another woman who is not as great as what you presently have. Everyone thinks that the grass at the other end is greener until they cross over.
Appreciate and value what you have before you loose it forever.
Do you think you are getting married to an angel? God helped you to find a great woman with such enviable character, yet, you are still window shopping.
1 Go and pray, seek the help of the Holy Spirit to order your step as marriage is till death separates.
2 Obey God totally and honour Him as He directs your path.
3 Make up your mind to love your wife no matter the circumstances and situation.
4 love isn't just feelings and emotions, love is character, respect, help, obedient, encouraging, faithfulness, peace, joy, and godliness.

Love is a thing that grow as you tags along.
Characters is a thing you need for love to grow.
If you love someone without a good characters, the possibility of the person to kill your love with bad behaviour is almost certain.
So, go for good characters.

Let me put it straight. You might be carried away by those Big Buttocks, Breast, Beautiful face and other external to make you say you love her.

Bros LOVE grows. I CAN CATEGORICALY Tell you that fact. Pls go for CHARACTER it is very essential to keep your home. Don't forget you don't have to divorce and change to another girl except you want to have step kids. Pls my brother go for character for own good and for the marriage. It is very important Oh


I am talking fromm Experience. My wife was not the best of beauties of Love birds I married. But her character was suberb. I have so grown to love her now due to how she was able to help me manage, raise and keep my home with Godly and Homely Character.

Now If I travel out of Lagos, I am so much in a hurry to be with Her that sometimes I ask myself if I can really stay without her for Just 6 months.
