[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 1318984, member: 7900"] [FONT="Georgia"][SIZE="3"]A lot of good advice here, from both genders. But, let me add the perspective of one who has been married for almost 42 years. (Next Christmas.) 1. Commitment - Marry for life and make sure that you keep that in mind. 2. Commitment - Each of you should ALWAYS be prepared to give 100%, not half. 3. Trust - If for some reason that you feel the need for a pre-nuptial agreement, run like h*ll. If there isn't enough trust in one's partner-to-be for EVERYTHING, then there will always be doubts, even for the little things. 4. Compassion - While every marriage will have problems, and anyone that tells you otherwise is one to NOT marry because they aren't being truthful, always be prepared to forgive. 5. Love - While we tend to speak to a potential mate in a way to express love, I found that when my wife and I got married, we both LIKED each other. Love comes with time, so unless you've known your potential partner for a considerable amount of time, you'll need to be patient for the love to kick in. 6. Interest - Believe it or not, you don't both have to be interested in the same things. My wife has tolerated my desire for the outdoors and photography, but it was only last year that she took enough interest herself to buy a good camera and start doing what I love doing. 7. Good times - it may take time, but you will at some point realize that being together is more important that WHAT IT IS THAT YOU DO while together. Over the years, we have really enjoyed our lives together and are looking forward to many more years to come. 8. Family - Even without kids, a couple can have the feeling of family, prepared to defend their partners at the drop of a hat (and drop the hat themselves sometimes), and really enjoy being together. When kids come into the mix, it brings mixed emotions because at times one wishes that there weren't kids to interfere with one's own desires. But, all in all, they are also a blessing. Good luck with your future, and my it be as blessed as my life has been.[/SIZE][/FONT] . [/QUOTE]
