Willing to Settle?

[silverorchid06]

What would you say if a good friend told you that she is willing to marry a man that she knows is not right because she would rather marry the wrong person then take the chance of never getting married? I gave the answer that I think most of us would give "You will find the right person. You just have to give it time." I would like to apologize

I agree with you 100%. Marriage is a sacred and wonderful thing that needs to be fully understood and mutually accepted before people even think of entering into it. People wonder why there is such a high divorce rate and why so many married people are unhappy when they shouldn't have to wonder at all. It is peoples' willingness to settle that is the cause for these. People have a need to have someone there for them to hold, to love and to share their lives with, but when they are burned a few times in relationships or they dont find exactly what they are looking for right away, they are willing to settle for someone who is just there. But they won't be there in the way that they truly need. They don't look into the future and see that when they settle for someone who they aren't a good match for, all they are doing is setting themselves, their family and their friends up for years of pain

No Honey, I am not "the friend" :) Besides you should know that I'm to stubborn to settle.
