It's the question of the ages --
what makes we men want to marry
some women? Is there a "marriage gene"? Do some women give off
the "you must marry me" vibe? The answer is somewhere in the middle.
Ladies, if marriage is what you want, here are some actual tips you can
follow to meet -- and marry -- Mr. Right.
Men may be attracted to your body, but marry for your
character. That makes sense -- you can be beautiful but boring. Someone
with an excellent personality will make a better, more interesting partner when
looks fade.
Don't dress too provocatively. It's okay to whip out the
sexy clothes once you're together, but when first impressions matter, don't act
like you've been around the block -- if you want to keep his interest past a
one-night stand.
Wow your future in-laws. A man really does care care that
his future wife (or partner) makes a good impression on his family. It seems
old-fashioned, but it makes sense. Who better to turn on the "
when will you
hurry up and marry her?" pressure than his own mother? Plus, if you're
going to get in good with his mother, it's best to start that early.
Don't be a doormat. Men like women who don't accept ----
from anyone, including them. Men actually appreciate women who call them on
their shit -- at least, any man
you'd want to marry.
It's the little things in life. While it's great to perform
grand, sweeping gestures to show your man you love him, do the little things
that make him happy. Even if it's as simple as helping with laundry during a
busy time with work. Those are the things that show you care -- and the key to a
long-term commitment.
Choose Mr. Right yourself. Date the good guys,
avoid the bad. Look for someone who is trustworthy and kind.
Someone who doesn't lie or cheat or bullshit. Someone who isn't married or
otherwise taken. Choose a guy with similar values and interests. That will make
a long-term commitment so much easier for you both.
Now where are these Mr. Rights? Do you think you are marriage
material? What other qualities deserve to be mentioned?
BONUS: (If Tomorrow Never Comes)
"Tomorrow is not promised to anyone young or old alike, and today may be the last chance to hold your loved one tight. So if you are waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you will surely regret the day, you did not take the extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss. You were just too busy to grant them their one last wish. So hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear. Tell them how much you love them and youll always hold them dear. And if tomorrow never comes, you will have no regrets about today."
