not always good ,
marrige needs compromise and i hate this
Haha, yes it does. Are you married fiona? How old are you? My first year of marriage was hard. Not easy to compromise, especially when I know I'm right all the time. :lol: No, only kidding, but it does take an adjustment. I'm married now 16 years. I think everyone should have a partner to go through life with.Quote:

what's your standards , it's still hard for me to accept this realityQuote:

Marriage is different than love.
"Marriage" , depending on how you define marriage, and how you define love, really matter here, fiona.
My own personal standards were thus: will he be a good provider for our family? Is he capable of growing old with "me" am I capable of seeing "him" grow old, is he someone I would hold hands with when the ocean is in our sight? Does he know the meaning of effort?
i know many of my fellows who married just upon their parents' request or just because everyone else does so they just follow suit
that is a ridiculous reason to link oneself to another for LIFE, in my humble opinion, fer chrissakes. come on! May I ask you, are you feeling pressured to submit to an unwanted marriage?
right ! i have no idea what love is and it takes a long time to understand this love and marrige thingsQuote:

Of course it's possible! Poppy and I have been married over 33 years and we are more "in love" than when we first got married. It's a much deeper love that seems to grow every year. Marriage is very hard work and it's not always fun. But together we can endure anything and achieve anything. We've turn out to be a pretty good team.Quote:
