Got this from a women’s magazine. While some of them I didn’t agree with, and some weren’t appropriate for this forum a few of them were really good advice I think.
-Don’t be with a stupid man just to be with any man.
-A real man always takes care of his family.
-You dont want to be walked over and you dont want a man you can walk over either.
-Don’t trust anyone who doesn’t laugh.
-To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.
-You can tell alot about a guy by how he treats your cab driver (or waitress or doorman, whatever).
-If he likes you, you’ll know. If he doesn’t, you’ll be “confused”.
-Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away.
-Respect yourself-don’t make someone your everything if you’re their only something.
-Never marry a man who has no friends.
-All love that has not friendship for its base is like a mansion built upon the sand--Ella Wheeler Wilcox
-When you have a family and you cheat on your spouse, you cheat on everyone, even your friends.*
-Whenever you’re wrong admit it; whenever you’re right, shut up*-Ogden Nash
-Its unhealthy to have a predisposed expectation of what you think a marriage should be–as this thing at the end of the rainbow. False expectations take away joy–Sandra Bullock
-When things are going poorly with your kids, you don’t put htem on the doorstep and say, “See ya later.” the same goes for your spouse. Its not all bliss but commitmen is what love is about.–Faith Hill
My favorite one:
when asked how she stayed married so long, a woman replied: “we never both fell out of love at the same time.” Because no matter how much you want to deny it, there are times we want to throw our boyfriends or husbands overboard, and vice versa. But a long as someone is trying, you can make it."
”Love is one of the most subtle blessings that the Most Merciful One has bestowed upon humanity. It exists in everyone as a seed. This seed germinates under favourable circumstances and, growing like a tree, blossoms into a flower, and finally ripens, like a fruit, to unite the beginning with the end ”.
i'd say this applies for friends also....i've definitely been betrayed/hurt by girlfriends who were just quiet/shy and i assumed thats why there's never any true emotion on their face but it just turns out they were hiding their true personality.
I was gonna ask that, too. My fiance has no friends, he never really had close friends and neither did I. As a matter of fact, I am his best friend and he is mine. So that's really pure BS.
a few of them were really good advice I think.
