My best guy-friend called me the other day, telling me that he broke up with his girlfriend for 7 years. now, he is asking me for an advice. at that time, he really does not have any plans in getting back together. now, the girl asked him to get married! it was the woman who proposed. and so they got back together again. is that ok? do you thing they are ready to go to the next level when they just fought the other day?

well i can relate to that since me and my boyfriend decided to get married next year. deciding to get married is really difficult for anyone, i guess. if you are emotionally, financially and psychologically ready, go for it but if your not try to think about it. are you ready to accept the person for who he/she really is including the negative side? are you willing to adjust to each others personality and attitude? fighting is normal in relationship but make sure that you will not let the day pass without talking it over with your partner.

if fights didnt let dem leave each other then i guess thr love is strong...and if it remains strong like that then thy can move on to the next level well read this artical and send dem this artical aswell so that it could help them out aswell! Marriages are made in Heaven "Remember that a successful marriage depends on two things: finding the right person and being the right person" quote. Do we really know the actual definition of a successful marriage? If not than lets look for it and see what conclusion we can draw. We often say that someone somewhere is made for you and the day you come across that person you feel that that he or she is the one you have been waiting for. But later we see that due to lack of understanding and mental compatibility they move apart. So how can we say that they were the perfect match since they didn't gave any effort to understand each other. So it's important you know your partner. There are people who get physically attracted and fall for each other and eventually end up getting married. But later on when they see their wavelength not matching they easily get separated without a second thought. In today's generation we see these incidents more compare to earlier generation. And this is more due to the changing social scenario. With so many things to divert your attention you really don't know what to do. Marriage is not just coming together of two individuals. There is much more to it. To sustain a marriage it is important that there is effort from both sides than only a marriage can carry on. A successful marriage is like a good recipe whose main ingredients are love, commitment, understanding, concern and togetherness. If you can include these aspects in your married life you can find happiness in your marriage. Andre Maurois once aptly said, "A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short." Which is so true. When we talk about mental compatibility between husband and wife we have seen that not only incase of arrange marriage this problem exist where both of them were unknown to each other before marriage but even after many years of courtship in love marriages this problem exist because when we meet before marriage we are at our best to impress the other person. And we start accepting each other the way we like to see each other. But gradually after marriage when we slip into our natural self that time we have to accept each other as we are. And in most of the cases the real self is not what we wanted to see and then begins the contradiction with the person whom we have loved and with whom I have to spend my life. So it's important that when you love a person love him or her the way he or she is and not the way you want him or her to be. Than only you can be happy. A happy married life calls for constant commitment and concern for each other. There are few small and minute aspects, which we tend to forget in our married life, as we get busy with the daily chores. So at times it is important to indulge in those minute details of a married life, which will constantly remind each other of the love and concern being present. We can conclude by the quote of Barnett Brickner, which says it, all that "Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate, but through being the right mate."

When you love is normaly to faith sometimes,but that is not a problem.They are together for 7years,I think that is something that is keeping together,I'm sure that that,,something,,is LOVE.So,I believe that they are made one for each other,so is better to get married sun. I decide to get married when I realize that I'm with the right person,that understand me and that love me.I get married this year with my boyfriend for6years. Have a nice day!

It is a lot easier to brake up when there is no attachment such as marriage. If they had been together for 7 years as a BF GF, I am sure they can last longer as a marrieage couple.
