Reasoning vs Intuition: Should I get married?

When couples swap vows, which I will never do, most people are convinced they've found their soulmate. Yet a huge number of marriages fail. So thinking carefully about compatibility, do you share a similar age, which don't bother me at all if the man is older than younger, education, attitudes and values? Did you date long before getting engaged? Do you share a religious faith? The more yeses the better. If you can't shake a feeling that marriage might not work out, have a serious discussion with your fiancé to pinpoint the source of your nagative vibes as it may just be jitters, but when a decision is based on an emotion as complex as love, a gut feeling, your intuition is worth exploring.

Reasoning and intuition are all much relevant untill marriage. But perfect match seems to be a mirage. Also, familiarity may not always breed contempt , but some sort of boredom is likely. In India , arranged marriages are still majority, and the failure rate of same is apparently less than that of love marriages. So accommodation seems to be very crucial for the success of marriage.

I believe that couples should live under the same roof for enough time, before they make the decision, to get merried.

Only this way the couple, will get know each other better.
The real problems if exist, will appear, only this way.

Dating does not show the whole "picture", but only part of it.

Marriage is a very serious matter, and it has nothing to do with
intuition, especialy if we want to have kids also!!

Our Intuition may fool us, but the every day life, with our partner won't !!

Let's say that it's a kind of test.!!

Tomin and Makis, somethings you mentioned I don't agree with, esp living together before marriage. When exactly before marriage and for how long?

I was married for 11 years and now divorced. What I noticed that made my marriage fail is the quiet subconsious decision by my ex that she started to stray from the "path" we were walking together in life and wanted her own. Besides the bad influence from TV and movies, I think the only way a marriage will work and the two people will be completely happy is 100% acceptance and commitment to working together on the family, goals, and a future. You've heard that "Life is like an empty canvas", well when you get married, your sharing a canvas with with your spouse. The canvas of your lifes will be happy and content if you both 100% commit to all the avenues of life together.
