Lots of things have kept me married 42 years in Dec...mainly I trusted God's judgement to find the right person for me...how could I know what type husband I would want 42 yrs later?? I am not the same person I was a 20.

I think if you are looking for a life partner, they should be an addition to your life..NOT your life. Work on being happy with yourself, then look for a companion. Too many people expect marriage to provide everything they are missing or want...not fair to heap that job on anyone.

I went into marriage "expecting" very little..."hoping" for some measure of happiness and possibly a family...I got everything and more...
