Even if u read all d materials on marriage, it is still what it is. A RISK. you never would find all the answers. If you find 60% and above, forge on. No real risk taker has it all figured out. we make do with what we have and believing in ourselves and our ability to make it better. so guy, believe God, believe in yourself and believe your woman. You are analyzing too much. ENOUGH! |

[quote author=Perspectives post=57208325]Marriage is one of the next thing in my life right now and I don't want to get it wrong. What are those things that can convince a person to tie a knot without regretting later in the future? Are there signs that should be looked out for? What are those red flags that shouldn't be ignored? Married people, about to married, people in serious relationship, please we need your input. [/rquote] Look for the most important reasonable qualities You desire in your spouse to be. Try to decide what you can live with and what you can't e.g she/he always scratches their armpit in front of the tv but he/she is a good listener and not too pushy. In this case is the scratching too mucu of a bother to you as compared to the good point? In a nutshell, find out if you can tolerate your future spouses bad side. You are good to go if you can. |

Marriage is about accepting each other for what they are. Not tolerance. |

ImaIma1:Funny enough I have never gone for counseling I just made a lot of mistakes ... ![]() Communication is important too ...the one thing I can say is don't let social media be the key medium of communication . Call and talk to your partner . If you guys want I could give more advice Sha just open a thread and ask me . People do not like what I say because it's the realistic truth . |

all right guys here goes i will call this topic - " the freak meter theory" |
| Re: If Love Is Not Enough For Marriage, What Is? by greatwhite(m): 11:02pm On Jun 05, 2017 |
Marriage is a long distance race. So it is important we all get it right. The most important human related demographic in marriage is peace. In whoever's heart you find peace that is where you should reside. When u have peace u have everything. Let God guide u. |
| Re: If Love Is Not Enough For Marriage, What Is? by Nobody: 11:06pm On Jun 05, 2017 |
now let me tell you what this theory is all about and how it can help and hurt you in finding a sexually compatible partner . first of all note that it might not work for everybody but at least you will learn something . i mean its nothing new ...let me give you a scenario - you meet someone new and exciting and attractive . You start to get to know them and ask a few questions and when you get comfortable with them ...you often ask, " hey on a scale of 1-10 ,how good are you at sex ? " . the freak meter is just that exactly the level of your practical sexuality . take me for instance i regard myself as a 9 ..not because i believe i am good at it but because i need it a lot and i am realistic enough to know that i need it a lot . |

now how does this freak meter affect your relationship ? quite obvious if you ask me but it goes deeper than that . Let me tell you why ... ladies pay attention . men seem to be wired to be more sexual in nature ( nuance point ) so a man who has high freak meter will naturally want to be around women who are high on the freak meter except for marriage . most men because they know the truth about sex will marry a woman who is " virgin " or who has a low freak meter say 4 or below . why ? because most people believe that the lower a woman ranks on the freak meter the less likely she is to cheat on you . |
| Re: If Love Is Not Enough For Marriage, What Is? by Nobody: 11:17pm On Jun 05, 2017 |
now if you are in the upper quadrant of the freak meter and you marry some one who is in the lower quadrant ..you might just have a problem . because you are going to be tempted to cheat . so its either someone levels up or someone levels down . and this is where the farce is . pay attention. |

we live in a society that condemns the sexuality of women . I mean just look at most of the comments and posts on this forum ...bitvh ,hoe , slut ,etc . The truth of the matter is that today's woman is just as sexual as today's man . |

| Re: If Love Is Not Enough For Marriage, What Is? by Nobody: 11:36pm On Jun 05, 2017 |
why most people have problems in their relationships is that they are not open from the start about certain issues . before you decide to take it a step further . there are a couple of questions you might want to ask yourself . 1. how much does this person make and how much do they owe ? 2. where does this person live and where would we live ? 3. how does this person treat the waiter who serves on a date ? 4. how does this person treat the children around them ? 5. what was it like for them growing up , whats their family history like ? 6. whats this person like sexually ? 7. how hard is it for them to say sorry and thank you ? trust me you will save yourself a lot of money to be paid for those pre- wedding photo shoots . one important thing is being realistic . |
| Re: If Love Is Not Enough For Marriage, What Is? by Nobody: 11:44pm On Jun 05, 2017 |
be will real with yourself and realize the following before you get married - marriage is all about business , its mostly about finance ..marry some one who you can afford to love . everybody is expendable in a relationship . who you are in a relationship with now upon attaining the age of 30 will likely be who they are forever . its all about what you can tolerate - the more options a woman or man has the less of they will tolerate . your partner and your spouse is going to to do bad things to you ...just be open to this . They will also do a lot of good things too. if you do not support your partner's goals or dreams ...its best you leave them before marriage . Marriage can kill a dream ..which in itself is not entirely a bad thing . |

do not bow to social pressure to get married when you are not ready . do not speak ill of your partner to your family and Friends . This will come back to haunt you . do not get her pregnant if there are no resources to take care of a baby . wait ..but if you have the grace to borrow money continue . before you introduce your partner to your family ...give her or him the scope of how to relate to them . e.g don't just push them to survive . not everybody in your significant other's family will like you , if they do fine ... identify the influential members of the family and relate with them ...in times of trouble they just might side you . what you start with in courtship is what you must be prepared to do for the rest of the life of that relationship . |

True,unconditional and unadulterated love is enough.... Nowadays it seems love alone is not enough because we let it wane due to the fact that it was'nt pure in the first place...it was a conditional love in the beginning. A love based on external features of your partner during courtship may never last in marriage |
