The marriage gene?

marriage.jpgAre there some people who are just not cut out for marriage? Does it take a certain genetic make up or personality trait?

One of my good friends is having issues finding “Mr. Right”.  She’s beautiful, sweet, funny has a great body so she doesn’t have problems finding guys to date, it’s sticking with them and not getting bored or irritated. She says that she’s just not “made for marriage”.

I say, out of the things that irritate you, decide what you can live with because you are always going to find something that bugs you.  And if it doesn’t bother you initially it may 5yrs down the road. Right?

Marriage is like anything else, it’s what you make it out to be.  Of course, you should never stay in a marriage that is not safe.  But otherwise it’s work, it craves attention.  If it’s not new…it’s through.

Maybe, it’s not wether your “marriage material” but if you’re willing to give up your selfish side. Because after getting married it’s not all about you anymore.

The  priest at my wedding was awesome, he made up the 10 Commandments of Marriage. (If I didn’t have to transcribe comandments.jpgthem I would post them all)

8th Commandment: Never put anything or anyone before each other. What ought to be the determining factor is not what’s best for the career, or what’s best for the pocketbook or even what’s best for the kids BUT what is best for the relationship. Neglect the whole world before you neglect each other

 Awww… How sweet :)
