Ten Ways To Avoid Marrying The Wrong Person

h1) Do Not Marry Potential:
Often times men consider marrying a woman
hoping she never changes while a woman
considers marrying a man she hopes she can
change. This is the wrong approach on both
accounts. Don’t a$$ume that you can change a
person after you’re married to them or that they
will reach their potential. There is no guarantee,
after all, that those changes will be for the better.
In fact, it’s often for the worse. If you can’t accept
someone or imagine living with them as they are
then don’t marry them. These differences can
include a number of things such as ideological or
practical differences in religion, habits, hygiene,
communication skills, etc.
2) Choose Character over Chemistry:
While chemistry and attraction are no doubt
important, character precedes them both. A
famous quote follows, “Chemistry ignites the fire,
but character keeps it burning.” The idea of falling
“in love” should never be the sole reason for
marrying someone; it is very easy to confuse
infatuation and lust for love. The most important
character traits to look for include humility,
kindness, responsibility, & happiness. Here’s a
breakdown of each trait:
– Humility:
The humble person never makes demands of
people but rather always does right by them.
They put their values and principles above
convenience and comfort. They are slow to anger,
are modest, and avoid materialism.
