ARE YOU WELL PREPARED

Have you ever thought you could pass a test you did not prepare for? That does not make sense right? Well how do you think you can have a good marriage that you did not prepare for?

Most people seem to think it is a natural process. Well 5% of marriages end good. So what? It Naturally Goes Wrong.

End good? As in death? Seems like a natural process.

• Bad Communication (sometimes Insolent)

• Kids following the same patterns because they had not been taught;

As in divorce, separation or death.

Have you ever been married Willie? I've experience all of these marital examples.

If you think it takes having stable jobs and marrying the person who always goes to church and acts nice then you are headed for a big trap.

Are you going to figure it out/let it conquer you like 95% of once married people. And you might say: it is not that important. Well think about all these problems USALLY occurring from bad mate partnerships:

• Financial Stress that Falls on One from Breakup;
• Lost Opportunity to Build a Kingdom;

• Depression in kids;
• Emptiness;
• Loneliness when Not in a Good Mate Partnership;

• Loss of Time you can’t get back, Life does not Start Over;

• Misery in It;

• Hate Developed;
• Division;

• Bad Communication (sometimes Insolent);
• 
  
• Kids following the same patterns because they had not been taught;

All these is important unless you are the type of person who is not concerned about the quality of your mate partnership but the quantity in it.

I feel like telling someone that they should "just get married, and god will take care of everything" is like satan telling Jesus to take a leap of faith off the pinnacle. There's no organized marriage pamphlet in the bible, but I feel like there's plenty that can be gleaned from different parts of scripture that show us that there are plenty of things to consider beforehand.

Easy.. wives respect your husbands and husbands love your wives.

You can't prepare to be in a marriage because nothing is like it.

LOL. Yea, what does it mean that a marriage ends good? One of you dies? lol

Easy.. wives respect your husbands and husbands love your wives.

The bullet after (not behind) "Bad Communication" in the original is a computer error.

I'd say that's as good a summary of marriage, as "love the lord and thy neighbor" is a summary of the bible. They could both use an expanded explanation.
Hopefully both parties have the same idea of what "love" and "respect" mean.

There's nothing like skydiving either, but there is a way to go into that situation prepared, and you're much better off doing that, than going into it deciding that you will figure it out on the way down- or that God will help you on the way down. Anything that takes commitment is well worth looking into in detail, before going through with it.

A marriage ending good cannot be a good thing.

How do you propose someone "prepare" to be married, exactly?
God helps every day in every way. At least my God does.

I don't think anyone at all is confused about what respect is and what love is.

If you and your spouse do not agree what the definition of these terms are, then do a study together.

And sometimes that help is letting people live with the consequences of having done something stupid that was completely avoidable. A close friend of mine had a pseudo-christian girlfriend that liked church, but he didn't find out that she didn't actually believe any of it was real until a while after they were married and she was pregnant.

Read the forums more, I guess. Because I see plenty of confused people.

I'd say it's probably more effective to do this before you're married, but that's one good answer to your first question.
