Better Relationships Keeping Marriages Together
By Jason Reed
Better relationships are a result from those who prepare
to meet challenges in life together. In order for a
relationship to last a long time, you need to be able
to listen to each other, have the ability to give and
take and listen to each other and review your options,
together. You need to be soul mates. You need to be
there when the other hurts. True love between soul mates
helps to keep relationships together.
You may have met your sweetheart at junior college,
and after a period of dating, you decided you could
not spend any more time away from each other. So you
decided to live together in a long lasting relationship.
You may have even sealed your relationship with a wedding
ceremony.
Once you are married and living in the same house,
the strains on the relationship may be open, but if
you spend a lot of time preparing for challenges to
your relationship, then you will be in one of the few
better relationships.
Examples Of True Love In Shakespeare And Movies
It’s a fact that men and women today are marrying at
a later age than in past generations. Today, the average
age at which women marry is 26, while men hold off until
about 28. There are a number of factors that play into
people’s decisions to wait. Both men and women want
better relationships that will stand the test of time.
Current statistics show that among teens who marry,
two out of three such early marriages end in divorce.
Among all age groups in the U.S., the divorce rate is
a staggering 50%. Many young people have seen their
own parent’s marriages end in divorce and know first
hand of some of the devastating effects divorce can
have on all of the family members. Young people have
good reason to delay marriage, making the process of
finding Mr. Or Miss Right a careful, considered choice.
Growing Up And Gaining Experience In Relationships
One key to better relationships in marriage is giving
yourself a chance to mature. Teens are still in the
process of growing up, gaining experience in relationships
with their peers, of both genders. Teens simply don’t
have the maturity, or real time interactions with a
variety of personalities and don’t have adequate skills
that allow them to communicate with others in productive
ways.
Teen relationships tend to be predicated on good looks
and the more superficial aspects of their partner. Decisions
to marry, based on superficial considerations, are typically
shallow and won’t stand the test of time.
Better To Complete Your Education Before Getting Married
Young people today are also aware that a good education
is necessary to a good career. Completing their education
translates into a better income. When you consider that
money problems are the number one reason cited in divorce,
it’s wiser to complete your education before you marry.
Besides starting out in marriage with a satisfying
career, you also gain more experience with a variety
of personalities and are better able to refine your
take on the one you might want to marry.
Learning To Understand People On A Deeper Level
Your judgments are not so impulsive. Observing your
friend’s love relationships, the good and the bad, contributes
to better relationships of your own. You learn to recognize
characteristics of people on a deeper level.
While Joe or Mary may be the best looker around, you’re
not so likely to overlook, or fail to recognize, that
Joe has a reputation for cheating on all of his girlfriends,
or that Mary is an insincere gold-digger.
Most Important Personal Characteristics In Your Mate
During the transition from adolescence to adulthood,
you begin to build true self confidence. You have the
freedom to give yourself a chance to find out what you
really want in a marriage partner, as well as define
your personal goals. For example, do you want to have
children? At what age? What personal characteristics
are most important to you in your mate?
You might date twenty losers before you can answer
this question. The result of giving yourself time to
mature is, undoubtedly, better relationships that are
more likely to last. That teen heart throb from your
high school days may seem a laughable choice by the
time you’re in your mid-twenties.
Preparing For Marriage
No matter your age, all couples who marry hope that
the marriage will last a lifetime. Give yourself a chance
to mature, get a good education and establish what you
really want for your fairy tale marriage.
Take these steps, don’t rush into marriage and you’ll
find, at the very worst, you’ll have a better social
life in general and a better relationship in marriage.
You deserve to make your dreams come true!
Preparing For Marriage
Once you are married, you will find you have plenty
of responsibilities and many challenges to face. It
is better to know about these challenges and prepare
for eventual outcomes than go in feet first, blindfolded.
If you have ideas in your head, like you want to graduate
from college and work in business, then you should do
that first, before you get married. Once you have your
graduation certificate and you have stability in employment,
then you know you are ready to take the next step in
your life and prepare for marriage.
A Stable Life With A Steady Income
You may find your fiance, may feel more comfortable
with your relationship, if she knows you are leading
a stable life with a steady income. If you decide to
get married, without stability in your life, then you
have already started on the backfoot and it may be difficult
to maintain your marriage, if you do not have a job
and you are still studying for your graduation.
Some couples are engaged for a few months or a year
and then get married. There are other couples that are
engaged for years, before taking the final walk down
the aisle. While the couple is engaged, there is a lot
to find out about each other. You want to know what
makes her tick, what she likes and dislikes. Is she
a romantic, or does she take things for granted?
Knowing a lot about each other, always leads to better
relationships.

More Romantic Wedding Facts....
I’m getting married, should I ask my wedding party to give a speech?
That is a tough question. It comes down to whether
or not you intend to micromanage everything in the wedding. Speeches,
much like toasts, should be voluntary. No one wants to be forced to give
a speech they do not truly mean.
Making someone give a speech is a step away from writing
the speech yourself and having them read it aloud. It
is better for everyone if the members of the wedding
party wish to do a speech because it means that they
truly believe in the words they are saying. It should
not be about a formality but instead a blessing on the
future of the bride and groom.
If you have a real fear that no one will give a speech,
you may want to evaluate who is in your wedding party.
The wedding party should consist of people who love
you and wish you the best. If no one in the party can
or will do that on their own, you wouldn’t want them
to be a part of your special day anyway.
The exception to this is if everyone suffers from severe
stage fright or agoraphobia. The chances of that are
pretty small.
