Are you thinking of getting married? Is it for love or convenience? Are you just wanting to find a partner because you are sick of going solo to events that seem to be flourishing with “couples”? Are you tired of going to Christmas parties and weddings without a date or significant other? What do you need to do before you get married? Find someone you are compatible with, someone who loves you and cherishes the very ground you walk on? Someone who opens the door for you (because I say chivalry is not dead)! Or do you simply want to get married, to become a couple and have children for the sake of doing it before you are told you are “too old” to have a baby. Yes we have that time bomb ticking inside us that is an internal clock when it comes to motherhood! Tick tock goes the clock, time to have a baby! Do men ever feel this sense of urgency? I doubt it! All most men care about are sex and food, usually in that order. So what’s love got to do with this? Well I think a whole lot for most people. It’s not like it can’t or won’t ever happen, we just have to be open to seeing that person who will make us laugh and be able to be ourselves around. If we think there is the perfect man out there what does that say about us? Are we perfect? I’m not, and I have a lot to learn and things I want to change about myself. But if you don’t love yourself first, I can guarantee you that you won’t find love, real love that is understanding and patient and kind. Real love that is forgiving. Real love that is dynamic and makes you scream sometimes. And the real love that is tender and caring and nurturing.
