It is natural for a young unmarried man or woman to think about marriage mate-- a partner in life? Some are influence by appearance - they prefer to find pleasing personality others look for material benefits for security and securing their needs and wants. But do you think these approaches lead to happy and satisfying relationship?
Some tips help in selecting a partner:
* Let God be the head of every actions you made.
* Check your feelings toward your prospective mate.

People to people and place to place the ways of doing this so called selecting process have slight variations, for sure. The culture and the standard of living all has to go with this process. Many of the selection is mere single eye contact and also takes a real lifetime because there are many who have opt not to marry and remain free for the rest of their lives.
In my point of seeing live with a life partner, I have eye on some of the traits of a human being such as her personality, intelligence, way of handling life in situations that need just common sense and not all the tensed overview and thinking every second about it. Looks are also necessary yet they are of less priority, but one should match with our ratings of looks too, because people shouldn't say that he's very handsome than her or shes so pretty than him.
Anyway the time for all the selection process can come any day any time, to wait for just that is not a wise thing but feel right for the right person is so important, we mustn't lose a loving person in our short period of life. To lose them is either foolishness or cowardliness, isn't.

I have to say that I completely disagree. Not everyone is religious, nor does anyone have to be. People should be with someone who is compatible with their values, beliefs, goals, desires, etc. If you are Christian, then it's no wonder you value a Christian partner. However I am not and I wouldn't be able to tolerate being in a relationship with a religion person.
And parents are not infallible, either. Their opinions should be taken into consideration, but you are not obligated to listen to them if you feel they are truly wrong.

I think it is very important to find the right person to join in marriage but I think one of the most important parts of a successful marriage is the dedication to stay married to a person despite the inevitable struggles the relationship will undergo.
