It is really astonishing how many people who are looking for marriage license requirements to find out if they can legally get married or maybe to see if they are able to have a Church wedding. Yes these same people may not give the same time and thought to whether the person they are marrying is the right one for them. It is so easy to get caught up in the romance of the occasion and to forget that while your wedding day is a big event, it is the start of something so much bigger.
Getting married is a commitment and should be treated as such. More people give longer thought to taking out a joint mortgage than to getting married. This could be due to the fact that divorce is relatively inexpensive, unless you have a complicated estate or are very wealthy, and it is also socially acceptable in most circles. The fact that celebrities marry and divorce at will certainly doesn’t help.
The sad fact is though that most people do not walk away from a broken marriage without incurring pain and scarring. It is difficult to see all your dreams of happiness with another person die. And it is worse when you remember that a significant number of people who divorce, regret it. They don’t regret getting married, they regret getting divorced!
So what can you do to prevent landing in a similar situation? The first step is to be realistic in your expectations. While it is fantastic to have your husband or wife as your best friend, they cannot supply you with everything you need. You have to a happy individual in your own right or you will make both of you miserable. You need to be independent even though you are part of a couple. You need to show your partner love, respect and loyalty while still giving them and expecting them to give you the freedom to have a life of your own. Your partner should know that they can go out with their friends and have a good time without getting the third degree on their return. Your relationship will be much more successful if everyone involved has room to develop and breathe. And if you do have kids be careful to still make your relationship a priority as one day they will grow up and leave home and you don’t want to be left with a stranger for company.
You need to do things as a couple and spend quality time together. Nurture your love and show appreciation for each other. Surprise your partner with a small romantic gesture every now and then and not just on the obvious occasions like their birthday, Valentines day or your wedding anniversary. In the Magic of Making Up you will get more ideas on how to prevent your marriage or relationship from joining the depressing list of the divorce statistics. So stop worrying about marriage requirements and concentrate instead of being sure that you two are made to last the distance.
Hi,
I dated my Ex fiance for 2 years and had a lot of arguments over committing to marriage as he had fear of marrying someone and I was his first very serious relationship at age of 37. He was not leaving me and was not proposing either so I finally with no dead line suggested that we should break it off when the time comes since marriage is not an option. He proposed to me after 2 months from that conversation convincing me that he was sure of it but then 6 months later he said to me he had to since had no other choice. I asked him to go think about it and gave him space but four days after he came back and said he wanted to marry me not he had to! I trusted him and was so happy but only one day before the wedding he called every thing off. I was hurt and humiliated. He paid for every thing for wedding , why would he have to do that if he was not sure? He called me a few days after calling it off but my sister answered and he said he wanted to explain and thought in the long run would be the right thing or he hoped that at least. All of these happened 10 days ago. I am so sad that no words can describe my pain and feelings. I wish he would come back to me.
What should I do?
After eight years of marriage and three kids, she is 37 pounds heavier than the day I married her. It doesn’t seem like she cares about me at all, the way she has let herself go. I’ve asked her time and time again whatever happened to the sleek model wife I carried home on our wedding day, and when did this clunker show up to stay, but she doesn’t seem to make much of an effort. I can’t believe that she is so selfish and inconsiderate of my feelings to just balloon out like she has. She whines about how hard it is to lose weight after pregnancy, how I should love her no matter what, all the usual excuses women give, but what it comes down to is that she is thinking only of herself. Not once does she stop to think about what I have to wake up to every morning.
Our sex life has gone downhill, too. I’ll still do it with her, but I just get done quick and am through; she complains about how she is left unsatisfied, but of course she never thinks about how any of this is for me. What can I do about her selfishness?
Ah, la femme beaux!!!
