what you can do to limit a failed marriage is highly limited. there is no level of care that which you choose your partner that will guarantee a successful marriage.
a successful marriage has far too many floating variables that are outside your control and are basically just random luck of the draw. you're making your choice in the face of these despite them being out of your control.
its like a person playing the lotto. all you have to do is pick the right numbers and you're guaranteed to win it. you can in fact say that about anything that involves a decision and make it sound easier than it actually is.
i get it though you people still believe in the system and you have to tell yourself something so you can continue to think that a successful marriage is something you alone can create with your decision making abilities when once you've eliminated all the obvious poor choices much of the rest of your success is based on nothing more than random odds and variables you can't possibly know and can only guess at.
I love how they skipped over this post.
Over here talking about, "find the right woman, THEN your marriage will be successful," as if that's all it takes. There's nothing to promise you that person won't wake up and just not love you the way they used to.
I would like to get married, but that thought scares me.
And just because you see a model marriage doesn't mean anything, so these "fatherless" and "you must've been raised in a divorced home" comments are ridiculous as well. A lot of people stayed in crappy marriages for the kids and whatnot. Is that any better than not being married?
I really hate the rhetoric being spewed by the holier-than-thou. Marriage is beautiful, lets not act like it isn't broken.




Seems we gotta worry more about them getting tired of us.
