How often have you seen a friend, relative, or even a Hollywood celebrity end up in a toxic relationship? Humiliation, chemical dependency, alcoholism, and abuse often define these failing relationships.
Many poor relationship decisions are made because people would rather be in a bad relationship than no relationship. How many times have you seen a bad relationship ruin a good person? Some people believe a meaningful relationship is necessary for self-fulfillment.
This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Society associates marriage with happiness and being single with loneliness. How many times have you heard a single woman referred to as a spinster or an old maid?
Many years ago, when I was single, I was always asked “when are you going to get married?” This line of questioning always came from my married friends. They thought I was miserable because I was single. Little did they know, I was waiting for the right woman.
I would like to share my insight about being “lonely.” When I was younger, I wasn’t in a hurry to get married. I didn’t go out of my way to look for a serious relationship. It just happened at the right time. I didn’t need a soulmate to complete my life because I was already complete.
If you are reading this, I am telling you to be patient and wait for the right partner. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks because you will be the person living with your partner.
Dating, having fun, and screening your relationship applications is fine. Set your standards high and accept no less. If you date Mr. Wrong, you will become Mrs. Wrong if the relationship goes south.
Consider this advice before saying “I do” to anything and you could save yourself many years of unhappiness and legal fees.
