"for the rest of your lives?"

Getting married is once in a lifetime decision for many people. When people wish to get married, consistently all of them expect a full life together. Very few would think of marriage as a short-term exercise. That’s why, it is very much necessary that all aspects of a life together be fully analyzed before tying the knot. Usually men and women tend to have different perspectives about married life.

Who fits well? When you and your partner love each other, you connect well and have a rather healthy relationship...
But is your partner the one you should marry? Being a great boyfriend or girlfriend is different than being great spouse material. Many people assume that just because they get along great with their partners as boyfriend and girlfriend, that they will automatically end up married, living happily ever after. The sooner you find this out, the better, because it will really prevent a lot of confusion and heart ache later. However, even if you have been with your partner for many years, it does not mean you should stay in the relationship simply because you have been together for a long time. The first thing you need to do is understand what your goals are with your relationship. This way you will be fully aware of your expectations and standards and can then focus on your partner and see whether you two are on the boat or not.
So, how can you tell whether your partner is the marriage “TYPE” Well, the signs are very clear to read, if you are just willing to see the truth and nothing but the truth, even if it is not always what you want. The first step in seeing this truth, is throwing your blinders away and to observe all angles of your relationship not just the wonderful parts that you want to see. If you are the type of person who would like to settle down and get married when the time is right, then you are naturally going to want a partner who will have the same dreams and goals as you when it comes to love and relationships. While this is only natural, you should not assume that just because you are involved with your partner in a serious relationship that it will end in marriage. This is exactly why you must talk about this with your partner once your relationship reaches a comfortable enough point to talk about marriage and commitment.

The best thing to do I guess! Is to observe your partner’s behavior around the topic of marriage and then trust your instincts. Do not rob yourself of true happiness by telling yourself that he or she will eventually come around or that you can change him, because this usually never works and you will only end up waiting around for a man who will never give you what you truly want.
If your partner ends up not being the marrying type, then you should try and move on as soon as possible, so that you can move on and find someone who will see love the same way you do. If you try to adapt to your partner’s non marrying ways, you may be okay for a while because of the love you feel for him or her, but you would eventually grow tired of it and would resent your partner and yourself for not accepting the truth a long time ago.

For me Getting married is a beautiful life experience, but only if it is with a person who wants to be in it just as eagerly as you do. WHO WILL BE MY GROOM? It’s too early to tell… I don’t know either!
All I know is that SOON ill be walking down the aisle… with him (whoever he is) I know GOD will choose the right person for me to hold on to for the rest of my life. Having a beautiful children and a wonderful Family with him will be a blessing and a reason for my breathing. Way way back when I was 10 years younger than my age now I’ve attended and became a part of my Tita Lara’s Wedding Entourage as her flower girl. Right there and then I injected to myself that if ever ill be getting married I want this church to witness my very special day...
