I love it! I can only stand people around me for...Look Deep!
Friday, February 29th, 2008According to some old traditions, women may propose to their men on 29 February. Some of you may be thinking of taking the initiative and going for that desire to solidify your relationship. If you are, I urge you to really think about it first.
Everybody know that most marriages will end in divorce, but that doesn’t stop the hopeful ones from trying to beat the odds, bless them!
Recent research suggests that the often-quoted findings about married men being happier than single men, and single women being happier than married women is not entirely sound, but of course your man isn’t like all the rest, is he?
Sure he might be gorgeous now, but will you still love him when you’re both eighty? The chances are that you’ll outlive him, which might be the only thing to look forward to if you end up with the wrong bloke.
Is the sex good? If it’s not good already, you’re not going to have fireworks on the wedding night.
Do you have similar views on raising children and dealing with your finances? These are the things that can chip away at a marriage until there’s nothing left but hatred and bitter resentment.
Judge Mablean Ephraim often says on her TV show Divorce Court: Look deep before you leap. She also says that it’s the little things that tend to break up a marriage, those insidious habits that annoy us each day. You may start to despise the way he demands sex when he comes home from the pub, or when he fails to remember your birthday.
Ask yourself: does he treat you like the goddess that you are?

Having many sets of families around me that has made a success of marriages is a great motivator to believe in marriages. I have seen first hand how a good marriage can enhance a couple to the point where they achieve much more than the sum of thier combined whole!
Coming from an eight family unit (three sisters and three brothers – one died at infancy) reinforces this, especially if you were all conceived and raised by just one set of mother and father who were together for nearly 40 years before they died.
Indeed, my eldest sister is celebrating her 25th wedding anniversary today, my middle brother is two years away from doing the same, my eldest brother has clocked up nearly 30 and my other sisters, now estranged clocked up nearly 22 years between them.
I’m the only one who has not succumbed to the lure of marriage, despite several opportunities!
I’m hoping to resolve this issue with the right woman around 30 when she comes along and no divorce or threat of it is gonna stop me!
