Thanks Blutang (I think?).
I realize that I may be in the minority here. But I wasn't ALWAYS. It's just that with age comes wisdom and maturity (for most), as you all know. I just see A LOT of things differently than I saw them when I was in my early- or mid-twenties.
Now I would have been alright if I had stayed single. But, as a counselor by profession, I had to learn (and it didn't happen over night) that I'm human too and I definitely have my deficits and issues. Now I'm asking myself (knowing my personality and all that my husband has witnessed during our courtship) that if I were him, would I have married me? And I'm NOT putting myself down in ANY way. Apparently I met most of my husband's requirements, right?
My friend and I were talking about this topic last night and she, although single, kinda understands BOTH sides of the coin (as do I). I mean, I certainly wouldn't marry someone who is abusive or an athiest or lazy or untrustworthy or a playboy or anything like that.
My point is EXPECT for your potential mate to be missing SOMETHING.
And guys, please don't think that I'm an "old foggie". I'm only 32 years-old, but with a lot of stuff under my belt.
