"It's not so much finding the right person, but being the right person"

This phrase was written on the blackboard at church the other day. Apparently the classroom I was in for a meeting had held a marriage class during the week. What do you think of this particular sentence? Do you agree? disagree? Why? or why not?

Hello rocketj1 Hmm well I sort of agree with this but sometimes people try to be the right person but it doesn't last long because they can't be something they are not, d'ya get what I am saying? I think we can all be the right person if we try hard but how long can you keep up being the right person for someone else?

I agree with the statement. I've had a family member whos been married 5 times and don't think its entirely the other persons fault since shes divorced so many times.

Hi rocketj1, I certainly agree with that phrase, and it is something that the church should teach as well. We cannot change another, the only person we can change is ourselves. So many people seem to forget that and always blame the other person. Being the right person is so important, and I think this should be taught to every person before they get in a relationship. Great idea for a discussion. Blessings.

No, I don't really believe it. I can't be something I'm not. I'm hard headed, stubborn, opinionated, strong willed, and set in my ways. I've basically always been this way. I was raised by a feminist, and I'm not a soft, fragile female. Basically, I'm a B**** with a capitol B, and I'm darn proud of it. I see nothing wrong with the way I am, and I refuse to change for anyone or anything. Now a lot of people wouldn't like that about me. Some men may be intimidated by a strong woman. So for them, I'm not the right person, and I won't change to become the right person for them. Luckily I have found the right person for me, who accepts me exactly as I am. So I do believe in finding the right person... not being the right person.

hi. Honestly, I do not know because I have never been in man-to-woman relationship before. For me, you don't have to find the right person because it is He who finds the right person for you if you will entrust it to Him. I can't say also that I will be the right person because who am I to say it, I am just nothing. In finding a partner in life, I will make sure that I will have a strong and consistent relationship with my Maker first before indulging in another. If my relationship with Him is good, I am sure my relationship with other people will also be good. I will entrust to Him also the choice of my better half in the future because I believe He will surely choose the best one for me and our relationship will be with His blessings. Let it be His will and not mine because He knows what is best for me. Godspeed.

I think it goes along the lines of being the right person for marriage. You need to realize that it takes work and takes time to make a marriage work and the wrong person for marriage won't understand that and would just give up quickly. But I personally think there is a right person for each of us as well.

all i can say it takes two to make a marriage work. it's the hardest job you'll ever have no matter how much you love the person.

I agree 100 per cent. You need to be the kind of person you want to attract. Like attracts like. You may disagree with this but if you look below the surface of a person you will find that it's true. Good Luck
