Just wanted to say that I have truly enjoyed the first few segments of this discussion. I am thankful for an outlet that elicits a healthy male and female perspective, and it’s refreshing to hear tasteful adult conversation that is uplifting; thought-provoking, and relevant to audiences of the Christian faith and other belief groups.
Nancy, thanks for pointing out the imperativeness of being the person you hope to marry. It’s crazy to ask someone to be what you are not willing to reciprocate, but there are some who have the mentality that they are such a prize, that anyone would be lucky to have them just as they are…which is why many of them are still single and/or regretting settling with the person they played for the okey-doke. I believe marriage requires mutual participation, but becomes a hardship when two seemingly unfit persons yoke themselves together and think their marriage will magically evolve into something great with minimal to no effort (never been married but it doesn’t sound feasible). The sacrifice and effort put into preparation is a gift to your future spouse that says, “I valued you this much before I even knew you to earnestly become the spouse you deserved and am grateful we will have the opportunity to share our unique gifts with one another.”
This is great content and I look forward to the subsequent convos. Awesome job as always. Blessings!!! #foreverfan

one think i notice in my view is that REAL relationships seem to lack drama. this maybe because in those relations the individuals have chosen to be patient, unconditionally loving, and have made companionship the main focus of their relationship rather than sex. not to say there isnt arguing, but it often lacks the drama/emotional charge which is observed in media and discussions on relationship. they value their relationship more than any argument.

You’ve made some great points. I really appreciate you sharing them with us. I agree that real relationships should be free to drama.
