I know what you mean. It's like the song: "It is sad to belong to someone else when the right one comes along..." (By England Dan and John Ford Coley) But you have to think that when you decide to get married, you already know in your heart that that person is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with. Make sure that you chose the right person, the one you truly love... so that you will not look for another love. Be contented of what you have and accept him with all your heart. If that is your frame of mind, you will not find true love because you are already telling your mind that the "right one" might come after when you are married. Then what do you call to the person you married? Is he not enough to be called the "right one"?

I'd say that my spouse is the right one. We've been together for like, 9 years ( 5 years as boyfriend girlfriend, and 4 years as married couple). Even now that we're married, we still date, and the courtship is still there. I guess I'm just one lucky person..

I think it should be in a way that one should make the perfect relationship rather that look for the perfect person. There is no such thing. What if one day you wake up and it's like 40 years after and you still haven't found that perfect guy. You didn't marry because you kept on waiting for him, you didn't have kids and grandkids. You missed the chance of the very essence of a being woman, to be a mother. Just a thought.. cheer up.

Yeah, true. Very well said. It's just a matter of making the relationship strong. Relationship is also about braving the storms, and holding to the principle of fidelity.
