With the
divorce rate over 50%, too many are apparently making a serious mistake in
deciding whom to spend the rest of their life with. To avoid becoming a
"statistic," try to internalize 10 insights.
You pick the
wrong person because you expect him/her to change after you're married. The classic mistake! NEVER
MARRY POTENTIAL!! The Golden Rule is, if you can't be happy with the person the
way he or she is now, don't get married. As a colleague of mine so wisely put
it, "You actually can expect people to change after their married...for
the worst!" So when it comes to the other person's spirituality,
character, personal hygiene, communication skills, and personal habits, make
sure you can live with these as they are now.
You pick the
wrong person because you focus more on chemistry than on character. Chemistry ignites the fire, but
good character keeps it burning. Beware of the "I'm in love"
syndrome. "I'm in love" often means, "I'm in lust."
Attraction is there, but have you carefully checked out this person's
character? Here are four characteristics to definitely check for:
Humility: Does this person believe that
"doing the right thing" is more important than personal comfort?
Kindness: Does this person enjoy giving
pleasure to other people? How does s/he treat people s/he doesn't have to be
nice to? Does s/he do volunteer work? Give to charity?
Responsibility: Can I depend on this person to
do what s/he says s/he's going to do?
Happiness: Does this person like
her/himself? Does s/he enjoy life? Is s/he emotionally stable? Ask yourself: Do
I want to be more like this person? Do I want to have a child with this person?
Would I like my child to turn out like him or her?
You choose
the wrong person because you do not share a common life goal and priorities. There are three basic ways we
connect with another person: a) Chemistry and compatibility, b) share common
interests, c) share common life goal. Make sure you share a deeper level of
connection that sharing life goals provide. After marriage, the two of you will
either grow together or grow apart. To avoid growing apart, you must figure out
what you're living for while you are single-and then find someone who has come
to the same conclusion as you. This is the true definition of a soul mate. A
soul mate is a goal mate....two people who ultimately share the same
understanding of life's purpose and therefore share the same priorities, values
and goals.
You pick the
wrong person because you do not have deeper emotional connection. To evaluate whether you have a
deeper emotional connection or not, ask: "Do I respect and admire this
person?" This does not mean, "Am I impressed by this person?" We
are impressed by a Mercedes. We do not respect someone because they own a
Mercedes. Yes, you should be impressed by qualities of creativity, loyalty,
determination, etc but do you actually respect and admire this person who
possesses these qualities? Also ask: "Do I trust this person?" This
also means, "Is he/she emotionally stable? Do I feel I can rely on
him/her?
You pick the
wrong person because you choose someone with whom you don't feel emotionally
safe. Ask
yourself the following questions: Do I feel calm, peaceful and relaxed with
this person? Can I fully be myself and express myself with this person? Does
this person make me feel good about myself? Do you have a really close friend
who does make you feel this way? Make sure the person you marry makes you feel
the same way! Are you afraid of this person in any way? You should not feel you
need to monitor what you say because you are afraid of how the other person
will view it. If you're afraid to express your feelings and opinions openly,
there's a problem with the relationship. Another aspect of feeling safe is that
you don't feel the other person is trying to control you. Controlling behaviors
are a sign of an abusive person. Be on the look out for someone who is always
trying to change you. There is a big difference between "controlling"
and "making suggestions." A suggestion is made for your benefit; a
control statement is made for their benefit.
You pick the
wrong person because you don't put everything on the table. Anything that bothers you about
the relationship must be brought up for discussion. Bringing up the
uncomfortable stuff is the only way to evaluate how well the two of you
communicate, negotiate, and work together. Over the course of a lifetime,
difficulties will inevitably arise. You need to know now, before making a
commitment: Can you resolve your differences and find compromises that work for
both of you? Never be afraid to let the person know what bothers you. This is
also a way for you to test how vulnerable you can be with this person. If you
can't be vulnerable, you can't be intimate. The two go hand in hand.
You pick the
wrong person because you use the relationship to escape from personal problems
and unhappiness. If you are
unhappy and single, you'll probably be unhappy and married, too. Marriage does
not fix personal, psychological and emotional problems. If anything, marriage
will exacerbate them. If you are not happy with yourself and your life, take
responsibility to fix it now while you are single. You'll feel better and your
future spouse will thank you.
You choose
the wrong person because you get involved sexually too quickly. This can be a big problem
because it often precludes a fully honest exploration of important issues. Intimate
involvement tends to cloud one's mind. And a clouded mind is not inclined to
make good decisions. It is not necessary to "test drive" in order to
find out if a couple are sexually compatible. If you do your homework and make
sure you are intellectually and emotionally compatible, you don't have to worry
about intimate compatibility. Of all the studies on divorce, intimate
incompatibility is never cited as a main reason why people divorce.
You pick the
wrong person because the man doesn't understand what a woman needs most. Men and women have unique
emotional needs and more often than not, it is the man who just doesn't get it.
Tradition places the onus on the man to understand the emotional needs of the
woman and to satisfy them. The unique need of a woman is to be loved, to feel
that she is the most important person in her husband's life. The husband needs
to give her consistent, quality attention. This is most apparent in the
approach to intimate intimacy. Tradition obligates the husband to meet the
intimate needs of his wife. Intimate intimacy is always on the woman's terms.
Men are goal oriented especially when it comes to this area. As a wise woman once
pointed out, "Men have two speeds: on and off." Women are experience
oriented. When a man is able to switch gears and become more
experience-oriented, he will discover what makes his wife very happy. When the
man forgets about his own needs and focuses on giving his wife pleasure,
amazing things will happen.

My boyfriend is back after he left me. My ex and I were friends for 8 years before we finally started dating. We really had a lot of fun together and I truly believe we can be great for eachother. Yet the timing just wasn't right. We dated for almost 2 years and during that time we both were in university and working so it was difficult to see eachother. And due to that we started fighting and eventually it led to him cheating on me because he was drunk at a party. We tried to move past it but in the end the distrust was too hard for us to keep moving forward and my anxiety caused him to break up with me. It has now been 3 months and we just started talking. He said he misses me and I told him I still have feelings for him but he said he isn't ready. What should I do? I needed help. As i was browsing through the internet i came across a website that suggested Dr.Unity can help get ex lover back fast and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and told him my problems and he told me what to do and i did it and he did a spell for me. 11 hours later, my boyfriend came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my boyfriend are living together happily again. Dr.Unity is the best online spell caster that is powerful and genuine.
