      True and maybe to help see in the future live with them for a while and seriously observe traits and quirks they have that bother you and communicate on it. If they won’t change it’s a sign you are better off as friends or benefits type ones that only show love but can’t stay in one room for a long committed time. An I think that is easier then lying and try working things out of truly neither person can do better. An honestly I think some people have own issues that are meant to probably be solved on their own and not need help by others so that’s a thing too. It’s all about communication and maturity if you can’t handle the truth that you shouldn’t be married at that said time period or never in the future if you can’t grow then it’s better off not dating .

      @@mimil.2606 Yeah, essentially people don't change. Often people are blinded by attraction, and choose to overlook red flags. People can learn and change little things if they're open to it, but basing all your hopes on your partner changing is not a good sign. Being happy with someone as they already are is a good indication that they might be a good match. If not, pass.

    To sum up what they said. Dont marry the person you think your partner will one day become, but marry the person they are right now. Too many people fall in love with a fictional version of their partner and that is why they get surprised and hurt when that person never materializes. You are not training a dog, you are spending your life with an individual and if you want to change that individual in significant ways, then it means you dont really respect them and your marriage is doomed.

    "Doing a prenup forces couples to talk about finances before they get married". Great advice because most couples don't talk about money before getting married. This should include a financial disclosure to reveal any and all hidden debt. And that includes student loans and credit card debt.

    • @jamesnash6101
      @jamesnash6101 Před 2 lety +15

      @@missantrafalgar782 in my opinion, most people don't talk about finances because we have been programmed to think it's a private matter, and in most cases that's a wise decision. However, when you get married your finances are no longer private. Because you entered into a partnership/contract.
      Benjamin Franklin famously advised fire-threatened Philadelphians in 1736 that “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
      When we say that prevention is better than cure, it essentially means that it is better to stop something before it happens instead of having to repair it or deal with its consequences after it has already been done.
      That proverb was applied and practiced in 1736 and it is still relevant today

      @@jareddegen9937 Your comment is foolish to me. If marriage was never legally binding, people could just constantly lie about their "relationship status", abandon their families, and do whatever when it comes to anything pertaining to family. Also, a marriage certificate is a public record so people can know if the person they are dating is in another relationship or not, whereas if it didn't exist, people would have no way to truly know. Strong families with the same last name wouldn't even exist.. It's really not that complicated to understand. The "lgbtq" community were fighting for a right to get married for a reason, even though I don't agree with them.

    My parents have been together 35 years since they were 22; They grew up in the 70's. Observing them I realize that you have to accept and love the other person. I observed that they forgave easily, spoke honestly, and often diffused tension with humor. Both were willing to lose some (even if they were right), because at the end of the day they love each other, and no petty thing topped that sentiment. Lastly, the respect they show each other is probably the most striking thing about their relationship. Growing up my parents got mad and had disagreements like anyone, but I never once saw them yelling at each other or mistreating each other in any way. They grumbled, they stewed, they needed time alone, but somehow 35 years later, there they are: still holding hands when they walk down the street together.

    I blame Disney. All of these early princess cartoons teaching girls to find their perfect prince charming, which is usually the same generic person through every movie (how many times have we heard "Ugh, all guys are the same"., "You're so much like my ex"., "I just wish I could find someone different"). The problem is they keep going for the same type of dude and yet wonder why they constantly are getting heart broken. That's early programming. Also notice how most Disney princess movies end with the wedding and happily ever after. Even after knowing the prince for a short amount of time. I guarantee that if they had sequels, it'd be a whole different story

    • @fabianbladez123
      @fabianbladez123 Před 5 lety +42

      The point about change, is that most people usually don’t. The person you meet on the first date is the same person 10 dates in, 10 weeks in, 10 months in and so on. You may learn new things about them as time goes on, but these things are not “new” to them, they have most likely been the way they are, long before you dated them.The way they act and behave during a divorce only comes as a shock because most people never think that the person they loved so much could be “that way” to them. The truth is, most people ignore and accept their partners flaws when things are going well, but sooner or later they start to bother them. This is not to say that the person you meet on the first date doesn’t have the capacity to change or grow, but only if they are the compromising and mature type of person. If the person you met was loud, immature, rude, demanding or whatever, why would you think they would act differently later on?

    • @pauls4742
      @pauls4742 Před 5 lety +7

      Your right about that. The challenge is to be open-minded and mature enough when you first meet to recognize what type of person you're dealing with. I was married for 20 years and was shocked by the behavior of my ex during the divorce. As you said, I ignored and accepted her behavior when we were married for the sake of getting along.. but it did bother me. During the divorce I was no longer going to accept or tolerate her bad behavior and it was a shock to see how callous and ugly she really was. I'm happy to be free of that woman.

After all, our finances were still completely separate. But I wanted her to succeed and better herself. Not because I wanted her to get a better job when we were married, but because I wanted her to be happy doing what she would do with her life. That was a huge reassurance to myself that I was with the right person. 7 years and 3 kids later, we're stronger than ever. I know there's lots of time for me to screw this up, but I like my odds.

    Compromise, respect and good communication are the most important things in a good relationship in my opinion. Spending time together and doing small things that are fun is another thing. A lot of my friends are unhappy and say their daily life is boring and they are bored of their relationship. Me and my husband and our son we make small trips to the park or the mountains, we watch something together, play in the pattio or cook together.. everything that is fun.

If you say you want kids and you don't, don't lie, if you say you love animals and in reality you couldn't care less, don't lie (that sort of things).
