. You will grow old. Unless you are bashing nigerian female folks or advising the female folk to be subservient your thread ain't going to smell frontpage. But just incase it gets to frontpage lemme drop my own comment;

Nice piece especially when both spouses are committed to doing all these, if its just one party doing all these, you are on a long thing cos it won't take long for the sacrificing one to feel frustrated and resentful, before you know the marriage comes crashing down like a pack of badly arranged cards

I think people just have too much time on their hands, that's all.
Well majority of the movers and shakers on the Romance section are still in School and those who aren't students are housewives!. That's why they have too much time on their hands. IMO.

So this whole brouhaha is happening because someone use one of his/her alternate account to defend his or herself?. If this is true, I say: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".

The sinners have already casted the stone forgetting they are also guilty of what they accuse the said kristina1 of doing.

Family / 6 Sure Ways To Save Your Marriage by Nobody: 11:49am On Jan 16, 2015
If your marriage is struggling, or if you’re working to keep it strong, these six ideas will help you learn how to be selfless in your most important relationships.

1. Put your spouse's needs first

It may seem difficult to put your needs aside and focus entirely on your spouse’s, but that trust and commitment is what will strengthen your relationship and allow you to feel and express love. This idea works best if both spouses are serving each other equally.

2. Love unconditionally

One of the worst things you can do in a marriage is keep track of mistakes and weaknesses and use them against your spouse. If you are selfless, you love unconditionally. There are some behaviors that cannot be condoned, like any form of abuse, but small personality flaws and bad days should be overlooked. When you love unconditionally, you feel motivated to help your spouse be happy, succeed and feel loved by you.

3. Find ways to serve

If being selfless is new to you, it may take some practice. Start by finding small ways to serve your spouse. Take his turn doing the dishes. Make the bed in the morning before she does. Vacuum out his car or take the dog out in the morning so she can sleep in. Service promotes love and acts of service in return. It may take time for your spouse to reciprocate or for the idea to take hold, but keep trying. If you are in a good habit of service, continue.

4. Be a good listener

You can be selfless as you help your spouse emotionally. Be the person your spouse turns to as he vents about a bad day at work. Don’t try to fix things for your wife, just validate her feelings and offer suggestions if she asks for them. When listening, be engaged. Try holding hands and looking at your spouse’s face to read his expressions. Develop the quality of empathy so you can be more emotionally connected.

5. Learn to compromise

Being selfless does not mean being a martyr. You don’t have to give up your favorite period drama to watch his action movies for the rest of your life. Sometimes, being selfless merely means compromising.
Compromises bring you closer together. Cultivate the ability to compromise if you can’t quite agree on something. Let go of the need to be right or always get your way.

6. Pray for strength and help

have a firm belief that God wants you to be happy and for your marriage to be successful.Praying for selflessness helps you have more love and energy to spend on your partner.People have a tendency toward selfishness. Praying to overcome selfishness is important as you strive to be more selfless.

No marriage is perfect, but every marriage (and relationship) can be made better by developing just one's characteristics and selflessness. Implement these ideas and see how your marriage improves.

Family / Re: 6 Ways To Avoid Marrying The Wrong Person by InvertedHammer: 4:14am On Jan 15, 2015
lilmaxfidel:
There is a right way and a wrong way to get to know someone for marriage.  The wrong way is to get caught up in the excitement and nuance of a budding relationship and in the process completely forget to ask the critical questions that help determine compatibility.

so based on my observations, here are seven ways to avoid marrying the wrong partner.

Do Not Marry Potential
  Oftentimes men consider marrying a woman hoping she never changes while a woman considers marrying a man she hopes she can change.  This is the wrong approach on both accounts.  Don’t assume that you can change a person after you’re married to them or that they will reach their potential.  There is no guarantee, after all, that those changes will be for the better. In fact, it’s often for the worse. If you can’t accept someone or imagine living with them as they are then don’t marry them.  These differences can include a number of things such as ideological or practical differences in religion, habits, hygiene, communication skills, etc.

Choose Character over Chemistry 

While chemistry and attraction are no doubt important, character precedes them both. A famous quote follows, “Chemistry ignites the fire, but character keeps it burning.” The idea of falling “in love” should never be the sole reason for marrying someone; it is very easy to confuse infatuation and lust for love.  The most important character traits to look for include humility, kindness, responsibility, & happiness.

Avoid Pre-Marital Sexual/Physical Activity

Recognize that there is incredible wisdom in why God has ordered us to refrain from intimacy before marriage; they are to prevent great harms as well as to keep sacred what is the most blessed part of a relationship between a man and a woman.
Aside from the obvious spiritual consequences, when a relationship gets physical before its time, important issues like character, life philosophy, and compatibility go to the wayside. Consequently, everything is romanticized and it becomes difficult to even remember the important issues let alone talk about them.


Avoid Lack of Emotional Connection 

There are four questions that you must answer YES to; Do I respect and admire this person?  What specifically do I respect and admire about this person?
Do I trust this person?  Can I rely on them?  Do I trust their judgment?  Do I trust their word? Can I believe what they say?
Do I feel Safe?  Do I feel emotionally safe with this person?  Can I be vulnerable?  Can I be myself?  Can I be open?  Can I express myself?
Do I feel calm and at peace with this person?

If the answer is “I don’t know, I’m not sure, etc.” keep evaluating until you know for sure and truly understand how you feel. If you don’t feel safe now, you won’t feel safe when you are married.  If you don’t trust now, this won’t change when you are married!


Pay Attention to Your Own Emotional Anxiety

 Choosing someone you don’t feel safe with emotionally is not a good recipe for a long-lasting and loving marriage.  Feeling emotionally safe is the foundation of a strong and healthy marriage.  When you don’t feel safe, you can’t express your feelings and opinions.  Learn how to identify whether you are in an abusive relationship.  If you feel you always have to monitor what you say, if you are with someone and you feel you can’t really express yourself and are always walking on eggshells, then it’s very likely you are in an abusive relationship which is potentially leading to a wrong marriage in all standards.

Beware of Lack of Openness In Your Partner
Many couples make the mistake of not putting everything on the table for discussion from the onset.  Ask yourself, “What do I need to know to be absolutely certain I want to marry this person?” “What bothers me about this person or the relationship?”  It’s very important to identify what’s bothering you, things that concern you, and things you are afraid to bring up for discussion. Then you must have an honest discussion about them. This is a great way to test the strength of your relationship. Bringing up issues when there’s conflict is a great opportunity to really evaluate how well you communicate, negotiate, and work together as a team.  When people get into power struggles and blame each other, it’s an indication they don’t work well as a team.  Also important is being vulnerable around each other. Ask deep questions of each other and see how your partner responds.  How do they handle it?  Are they defensive?  Do they attack?  Do they withdraw?  Do they get annoyed?  Do they blame you?  Do they ignore it?  Do they hide or rationalize it?  [/b]Don’t just listen to what they say but watch for how they say it!

[i]With all this put into considerations, you could really head to a successful marriage

We know all these already.

Do you know how to differentiate between "packaged" and real deal?

Now that's the one I am interested in learning not the obvious things.

Honestly, no one knows their spouse until they live together for some years which is why people pray for divine guidance instead of checking a list of shallow characteristics/traits.

Both are equally important, its marriage and not business partner, without chemistry then you can as well live as a friend.
