particular person and when it is not. The time you spend in
any relationship is not a loss if you learn from it and complete
it in a positive way. Each time you follow your heart and then
plainly recognize that someone is not right for you, then you
are definitely one step closer to finding the right person for
you.
WHY COUPLES ARE WAITING TO GET MARRIED
Recent marriage statistics reveal that both men and women
are waiting longer to get married. Some people worry that this
is a problem, when really it is a sign of greater wisdom in
young couples. They are waiting to get married. They are
wanting to first get a sense of who they are, what they can do,
what they want to do, and where they are going before decid-
ing to make a marriage commitment. It is wise to first know
yourself before trying to share yourself in a marriage.
It is wise to first know yourself before
trying to share yourself in a marriage.When people get married before feeling autonomous, they
run the risk of being too dependent on each other for love.
They do not get the opportunity to experience sufficient inde-
pendence to discover how they can be fulfilled without having
a partner to depend on. Instead of taking a few more years to
fully release their dependence on their parents and become
dependent on themselves, they shift from their parents to a
partner for love and support. By rushing into an intimate rela-
tionship, they can miss the opportunity to discover the inner
confidence, self-assuredness, and autonomy necessary to make
a marriage work.
