Is it important to select someone you really like?

When you marry, is it important for you to select the someone you really like? Or is "anyone will do" good enough for you?

Is it important to select someone you really like?
A total understatement. Absolutely pick someone you you like and like everything about them. How they walk, talk, think, look,.....everything.


Because after excitement of the new love wears off, you still have the friendship and the fact you like everything about them to continue on the relationship.


If the realaionship is just the hottness and lust; chances are it won't last long.

If you work diligently, and have very few same gender friends,


would you want to marry someone who doesn't work, or doesn't take it seriously. And has friends of the opposite gender who they go hang out with until all hours of the night?





It is important to marry someone with whom you have respect for. And no, not anyone will do.
Reply:in order to even consider marriage it is important that the two people deeply love each other.





marriage is the bonding of two into one. with this will come differences and disagreements. it will take this deep love to maintain the union of the two individuals as they work toward compromises in all aspects of their lives.





marriages fail when one or both of the individuals stops compromising and puts their own desires ahead of what is best for the couple.
Reply:Never. If you are almost 50 and alone, maybe its time to settle.


If you are 20's then keep looking you have the time. Do you want your marriage to end in divorce? You need to marry someone who is worth fighting for. Someone you love and respect even if they do things that annoy you sometimes. Love helps you to accept peoples attributes and bad habits equally.
Reply:Marriage is a serious lifetime commitment.If you are unable to say that your partner is your best guy , your best friend, your best confidant, your best play-mate....don't marry.
Reply:Anyone is not good nor is someone you like. If you do not love the person then surely you do not want to spend the rest of your life with them in marriage.
Reply:Why would you want to legally commit yourself to be with someone you didn't really like? What would be the point of marrying?





I've gotta love 'em, not just 'really like' them...otherwise, I'm just fine being single. ☺
Reply:Better get someone you really like It is hard enough then


The second choice or he will do approach is heading straight into disaster zone
