I think many are scared because of:
-they don't pass through right way in choosing their partner (i just like her/him).
-not paying attention to red flags during courtship
-some are scared that their past can catch up with them in their future marriage.
-blindfolded by material things
-lack of parental and pastoral counsel and prayer.

There's no pressure from marriage so far friends and family can mind their business. If couples agree on MONEY. Money is the number problem 'causer' in marriages.







And ehm, lastly, er, the joystick is good to behold too.

Feminism won't let marriages worth it.

TV01:


1. I feel united with someone I can travel through life with. Who accepts me as I am and lets me be me - no, she encourages me to be me, and makes me want to be better for her.

2. Don't know/not applicable, but with remorse and repentance, anything can be forgiven

3. First, prepare yourself. Be mature and of sound character. Properly understand marriage for what it is for, what it does. Form a consistent worldview/theology of marriage. Then find someone you fancy like mad, who is of sound character, and who shares that worldview, or who is at least on the same path. Commit to them, marry, them, live happily ever after !

There, proper marriage in a few easy steps.

The short answer to that is "yes". The slightly longer answer is "yes, but sometimes with varying degrees of effort".

[quote author=uglyogre post=26802863]First define what is paramount to you and stick by it. Is it respect, love,compatibility, wealth, faithfulness,mutual understanding, patience,etc? what might be a deal to you might make no sense to another. it all boils down to what is important to you and not what others think

Exactly Miss
Respect and faithfulness is far more important to me than anything else, not even love
