Important facts about marriage
- We often choose partners similar to our parents
- Expectations within marriage are strongly influenced by our experience of the family we grew up with
- We may not grow out of childish and selfish attitudes
- We often expect our partner to change to meet our needs
- Proper caring and responsibility can minimise problems
- Physical attraction is not enough to hold a marriage together. Most experts agree that what goes on out of bed matters more than a good sexual relationship.
- When we do something wrong, it is important that we feel forgiven by our partner.
