To Marry your Best Friend...

[camellia0]

This sounds so nice and many of us would love to do this, but when you have known each other for less than 10 weeks and you are ready to walk down the isle? A friend of mine posted this on her Facebook page. I have not responded, like many others because you cannot know someone in that short amount of time. Plus this is her 3rd marriage and she is not 50 years old yet.!! SMH

I don't think in 10 weeks you can even tell if he/she is your best friend or not let alone spend the rest of your life with.    I've been married for over 30 years and sometimes it's a lot of work on both sides to keep things running smoothly LOL.

When I see postings on Facebook that are over the top, I don't believe it.

Nine times out of ten, they'll be posting gaga about some other person next month.

I think in 10 weeks you can fall in ‘like’ but nit really love.  I don’t think you know enough about the person in that short period of time.

She is still in the honeymoon phase of the relationship, when they are both on their best behavior. It's scary out there with scammers who know how to work people into falling in love with them, only to take them for everything they've got... so many stories out there.

I hope she has found her true love, and it all works out.... but my experience in life is doubtful.  I want to believe though

It's not a good idea to jump into marriage when you don't know that person for just a few weeks, think about it before you do it.

Having made that wrong decision (marriage, not the best friend thing) twice, I see a disaster ahead.

Thankfully, God granted me great kids and grand-kids, or I would be so sad all the time.

The sermon today was about marriage.  I pray for my future spouse.

One of the primary purposes or "jobs" of a person in a marriage is to help your spouse to get into heaven.

For some people it works out.  More power to them.

I have a friend who was incredibly meek.  She was a strong independent gal.  After a few dates early on in her adult life that ended in initial and obvious misfits for her.  She went on a date with her now husband and by the end of the first date they were discussing marriage and children.  Within a week she had her wedding gown picked out.  That was over 11 years ago... 3 kids later they're doing great.  So ya just never know.

          I think that knowing someone for that short of time, wouldn't think that they could be your best friend. If they choose that marriage this soon is what they feel is right to them then, they can get married. I think it's too soon for that.

Personal story - My husband (married for several decades!) and I met on a blind date.  By our second date I knew we'd always be together.  Five months exactly from the day we met, we were married.  A true love story!

I think it's possible. I knew my first husband for 10 years before we got married, and we still failed in just a few years. When I met my (now) husband, I kept trying to avoid committing to him. But in my gut, I knew we were right for each other. We're going on 10 happy years married.

A woman my husband dated briefly (when he was younger) was out with a few girlfriends one night. A guy she didn't know pulled up in his car, told her she was beautiful and asked her to marry him. She said yes. They've been married for many years and have grown daughters now. Crazy but it worked for them.

Thats way too early. Im sure for some it might work, but Id like to know a person alot longer then that.
