The basic idea is this: for a marriage to last, the partners need to recognize that there will be periods of intense stress, non-romantic moments (often lasting days or longer) when life gets tough. It could be illness, or lack of money, or just something serious going wrong.
Maybe a flat tire. Maybe you arrive at midnight at the cabin you rented and you discover the key doesn’t work.
How will you and your partner-to-be handle it?
Will you work well together?
Will your love continue despite the stress?

my brother YOU SAY?

You have indeed asked the question of the century. Rhetorical perhaps.

I have no idea. Not sure there is a 'set in stone' way of knowing. It's a certain risk no matter how well you know this "the one".

However, you can decrease the risk, but doing due diligence:

1. Make a list of what's important to you.
2. Make a list of deal breakers and non-negotiables (this should be moral/ethical and some character/personality traits mainly)
3. List what you are willing to compromise or overlook (this should be physical traits mainly).
4. Make a list of how you are going to observe for these, what time period before you check it off the list.
5. PRAY.

Fvck her fvcking ass

If I can't picture a future with a woman then I can't marry her. Simple

saintCaligula:
Op this is one question, young people in a relationship fail to ask themselves before going on to become couples....
A marriage that is not built on assurance won't last..

Thanks so much for your reasonable comment..
