If you have any fear that she is that shallow, DO NOT MARRY HER.

I’m sure that she is a wonderful person, and I don’t mean any disrespect to her. But this is something that you have to be 1000% certain of.

Hollywood, romance novels and the media have convinced people, particularly women, that we should be happy 100% of the time and our relationships should be nothing but strawberries and orgasms. That is not reality. Marriage takes effort. There are good times and bad times. The love you have for each other will grow into a more meaningful one than they one that leads you to marry her in the first place.

Good luck.

Actually, it’s quite the opposite of Hollywood. She’s six years my senior and recently widowed due to her late husband’s affinity for pain killers. I’ve never met someone who I feel so wholeheartedly connected with. We take turns with chores, she gives me leeway with my schoolwork, I fix things around the house and cook. The symbiosis is like none I’ve ever experienced, and I have to say my confidence for our relationship is higher than any I’ve been in before.

I do agree that Hollywood and society in general has turned women into creatures of need as opposed to PARTNERS in a pact of love and devotion for life. The feminist revolution has continued to make women think they are superior to men instead of equal on life’s terms. We have disagreements and spend a lot of time on the porch talking and playing cards, but we never go to sleep angry and always part ways with a kiss. It’s not utopian, and we both know that; but as long as we both a committed to the partnership, we’ll never fail.
