The topic of the week that really sparked my interest in class was about marriage and dating (of course). We learned that the way we date, is the way our marriage will end up to be. Whomever the main provider in your relationship will likely be the provider in your marriage. Also it was mentioned that most women marry with the idea that things will change and men marry with the idea that everything will stay the same. This can be a bit of an issue in marriage if nothing changes and the wife becomes unhappy and the husband cant understand why. You have to love each other "as is" before you go into marriage.
How well do you really know your significant other anyways? It is said that you dont even begin to know another until you hit three months. And thats just the beginning! There are 3 T's to knowing someone. Togetherness, Talk, and Time. You need to have experiences together, in a variety of settings to fully know how the other person will react to different situations. How will you know how to give comfort to your loved one if you have never seen them in distress or upset? Talking is important because you create a mutually disclosed relationship with one another and experience self-revelation through knowing someone else. Communication is always key. Lastly is time. Spend time with your loved one, only with time can you truley gain an appreciation of who they are. Lust will wear away a little but respect and deep love will be nurished over time.
How long do you think it takes to really know someone? How long would you date before considering marriage?
I like what's going on here
