I find it interesting how much talk there is on this thread about “soul mates” and finding the “perfect” mate or Mr. Right. The thread on men marrying had a lot more pragmatic advice. Just an observation.
I love my husband very much. Right now, he is laying on the couch snoozing and the house is quiet because the two-year-old is asleep and the dogs have been fed. Ask me if I loved him quite so much about 3 hours ago after tripping over the shoes he left in the hallway for 1000th time while trying to get dinner on the table and listening to the beagle who wanted to chase a cat who had gotten into the backyard.
The point is: Marriage is a contract. Feelings come and go. Commitment to that contract cannot waver unless some terrible breach has occurred. Not being “happy” is not a breach. Happy is a feeling that may come and go and I hope and pray that people choose their marriage partner with their head and not their heart.
I hope and pray that those out there who may be considering marriage (men or women) would look at some of the advice of some of the really experienced married people here and take it to heart. There is a lot of good advice here.
