Re: **Can anyone relate to my marriage concerns? :(
well guys whoever is in awe of the IQ and maturity have missed one point very clearly. maturity would also mean that the person is realistic, and does not want a photocopy of oneself in the opposite gender. Yo dont have to have teh same IQ, you dont have to be on the same status economically, you dont have to have the same interests... none of these are imperative for a successful marriage.
I have friends, gusy and girls, who are not married because of their rather strange criteria.
one 27 year old lady wants the guy to be 'boyish looking' as if every year that she wastes guys are becoming more boyish looking. One specfically said she wants a guy who has cultural interests like the opera.. I mean wtf.. opera..guys... now she is in her 30's and I have known her for over a decade. when she ws in her early 20's I had told her.. u know u are not going to find a guy who is into opera at 25-26.
what people also do not realize is that people change and evolve, and you have to look at the fiundation. Is the person soemone you can see yourself spending your life, interests change, old ones fade, new ones come up, some stay constant.
A made to order mate is simply not possible..not yet.
and the more specific people get on minutia, the more theya re steing themselves up for either not finding anyone, or finding someone who meets all that criteria and as both of them change over the years, the thing falling apart.
good composition skills, vocabulary and deep evaluation of some potential future situation does not indicate maturity, it does indicate intelligence, but at 15, the person is too inexperienced and all to be able to really.
In the end the post also says that she is concerned due to her parents bad marriage, well..almost anyone an find faults in their parents or friends or siblings marrige, or their own, life is not perfect, it will not be, it can not be. looking at a handful of bad examples as the future fte also indicates a lack of understanding and being out of touch with reality.
