Also, considering the financial aspects of relationships as you have is important. This isn’t talked about enough. Yes, for most decisions about romance and marriage are the most important financial decisions you make, like it or not.

My oldest son is just that , as his lovely woman.They have a group of friends like that too. They have been from the minute they finished high school been keen to get their qualifications,, get work, have clear expectations of their women in that regard ( the level they will have careers & tasks to contribute as a team) while showing respect, commitment, preparedness to satisfy their partners as they have loved their woman to the capicity they can, recieving the same.

They aren’t daunted by marriage and children, setting up homes with them, but want to.
They all have worked very hard at all aspects of this being constructive, natural personal differences, setting goals and obtaining income security to have houses and health necessecities as well as a balance of fun.
They do spend time and are supportive of their families of origin as well as have a sense of community giving.

They realistically have recognised that their will be new pressures & challanges that can emerge witth having children, financial & practical demands of larger family sized homes as well as increased demands from their jobs as they take on promotions and have the confidence that they will effectively deal with these as a couple, confident because of having such loving trust in their partner’s qualities.

A woman can accept less than this if she has no desire to have children, a series of adventures in passion, possibly still her own lucrative career,or maybe a bohemian life.

The reality is that this ettling for less happens more often to women with the dream of the ideal husband & family settling for men who show none of the good husband traits overall or towards them.
Then their most common outcome is ending up struggling on social security or an insufficient income with kids and no reasonable quality guys wanting her aside from brief encounters or worse a series of abusers..

There are those who think a capable young woman has time to make mistakes with the lesser offers and this is risky if she ends up to far out of her initial circle of support & location in following her passion.

She returns less confident and with less of the good guys available to get what she really wanted and needed.
These good husband types know what counts and have been moving to this and are gone quite soon. So they are left at best with the ones who do later go for the job, wife & kids package, though only when they have had enough of indulging themselves
These guys have an underlying self centered side, “PERSONAL FULLFILLMENT MAJOR” means they can get going when the going get’s tough.These are the ones who are more potentially likely to have marriges that end later in divorce.

Their are limited external catastrophes that through no ones fault ever happen,
so while life with the good husband & children can be struck with harsh adversity it is those that usually have forms of financial insurance & more means to help coping as well as the emotional ground work has more resilience provided and the recognition mostly nothing one did or didn’t do created the catastrophe.

In regard to not ending up with a man who falls short as a true partner/husband, a quote I saw on another site was good,

” Daughter/sister – get a backbone instead of a wishing bone”

Therefore don’t settle for less love, respect, qualities required of good husband material hoping the passion felt for a man not demonstrating all this will somehow result in more than realistically just time limited passion with final pain.

lolol @ “Worthy of Reproduction”! .. I’m going to have to write an article about that! hahahaha

“Learn to love her weaknesses and you’re going to love her forever..”

I think it’s not just the good traits that we should be looking at. If we learn to love both, strengths and weaknesses, I believe we’ll be on our way to fulfill til death do us part. But that’s just me.

Btw, I don’t know if you know @megapixel (Meg Porter). She’s a vlogger from FW. She just passed away, killed in a car accident.
