Finding an eternal
companion generally takes times and is part of a trial and error process. When someone has found a potential spouse
there are a series of phases that are gone through that lead to marriage. Before entering in to such phases its necessary
for both individuals to be sure that they are both in emotionally healthy and
happy. To reach this point, one needs to
be comfortable with their past in order to move forward.
According to the
text, “Researchers like Sroufe, Egeland, Carlson, and Collins (2005) suggest
that many experiences exert an influence on your success in meeting and
choosing an eternal mate, including family experiences with other significant
people in your life (such as teachers, Church leaders, or peers), and things that
are happening in your current environment.” (Holman, Poulsen, Other, p. 17,
2012).
So, because our past influence us and our
choices presently, it is vital that people deal with any problems from the past
that might impact negatively their future marriage relationship
Emotional health
is another matter to assess prior to committing to any serious relationship. Having any serious conditions such as clinical
anxiety, depression, or immaturity can all factor in when selecting a spouse. As difficult as such conditions can be, they
are treatable through family or individual therapy. Once these matters are resolved and/or
treated, a person is more prepared to enter into relationships that may lead to
marriage and family.
