IMO, in general people simply don't commit in the first place. There is no "right" reason to get married other than both wanting to spend the rest of their lives by the side of the other person. It seems very few people want this anymore. They label this "smothering." People enter into a marriage and expect to retain their "space."
Marriage is SUPPOSED to change the way you live your life. It's no longer two people living individual lives, but is supposed to become two people living ONE life.
Woah... how many of you just cringed at this statement? Therein lies the problem.
If I had to choose between them, the rest of my life without any money or the rest of my life without any love... I'd choose to live on the street with someone I loved.
Of course women want honesty - who doesn't? I do believe in honesty, but I also believe there's a time and place for everything. The first step is honestly portray your positive qualities. focus on these for as long as possible. The negative qualities will "out" themselves soon enough - no need to make it a point to have them be a topic of conversation.
However, don't try to hide them either. When one surfaces, just take the attitude that "no one is perfect" and leave it at that.
Gee, imagine that... affordable health care available to more people. No wonder it was quickly vetoed.
While the "theoretical" upper limit may have been that high (I don't know the details), I have no doubt that few people making that much would actually have qualified for it. (There's a big difference between being eligible and being qualified)
You can respect the position without showing respect for the person holding it. As has often been said before, respect has to be earned - and Dubya has done just about everything he can do to lose as much respect as possible.
It happened only once to me - 32 years ago. We were married and I was happy. An unfortunate and unlikely set of circumstances happened that resulted in a divorce, but I still to this day love her.
I'm learning this the hard way. It seems the moment I start thinking "I couldn't possibly live without THIS", I end up losing it and finding out I was wrong.
