How do you decide who to marry?

This showed up in my in-box this morning and, though I can’t take credit for it, I thought I would share it.

Happy Couples, Happy Planet!

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (written by kids)

You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
– Alan, age 10

No person really decides before they grow up who they’re going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you’re stuck with.
– Kristen, age 10

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
– Camille, age 10

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
– Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don’t want any more kids.
– Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough.
– Lynnette, age 8 (isn’t she a treasure?)

On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that Usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
– Martin, age 10

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?
I’d run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
– Craig, age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they’re rich.
- - Pam, age 7

The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn’t want to mess with that.
- - Curt, age 7

The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It’s the right thing to do.
– Howard, age 8

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It’s better for girls to be single but not for boys . Boys need someone to clean up after them.
– Anita, age 9 (bless you child)

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN’T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn’t there?
– Kelvin, age 8

And the #1 Favorite is……..
HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.
– Ricky, age 10

Expectations

If you are getting married this year (or committing to a serious, long term relationship) you really need to think about your expectations for this new stage of your relationship. And you need to ask your partner to do the same.

What one person anticipates will happen after the wedding, may not necessarily be what the other person expects. Because of that, it is best to have the necessary discussions and make sure you are on the same page as your partner when you join your lives. As a start, try sitting down with your mate and discussing these questions:

  • How do you think you your lives will change after you get married? Make a list and consider the positives and the negatives.
  • Do you expect your marriage to be easy or challenging?
  • What are your expectations for your domestic life? Who will do the cooking? The cleaning?
  • What do you expect your social life will be like after you get married?

Want more questions? Try out CouplesQuestions On-line Marriage Preparation Program. It provides questions in 18 Key topic areas that absolutely should be discussed before committing your life to another person. It’s risk free with a 60 money back guarantee, so why not give it a go? If you are planning a wedding, don’t you think you should spend a bit of time planning your marriage?

Expect to have a fabulous life together and take action to make it happen.

Happy Couples, Happy Planet!
