My Question of the Day for 08 December 2009
My Question of the Day: In terms of marriage, you never know who you’re getting until after you say, “I do.” Agree or Disagree?
(this question was inspired by a conversation I had with @_Nitra_; thanks!)
RULES FOR COMMENTS
1. DO NOT include links in your post. There is a place for you to include one link when you’re filling out the Name/Email/Website information. Comments that include links will be deleted.
2. If your post is obviously irrelevant to the question at hand, it will be deleted. This is a tactic spammers use to simply show up on blogs.
3. Please keep your comments respectful. We can agree to disagree without attacking each other.
Disagree. Many people like to act all shocked when the person they’ve chosen to spend their life with acts a fool, but the reality is that you always get hints ahead of time. Most people just think “oh, that will change” or “I’m gonna upgrade him/her,” but none of those things ever works out.

LikeDislikeDisagree. With many couples choosing to live together before marriage these days, there are many opportunities to get to know your partner before you make the commitment. Chances to see how the other person handles certain situations, whether or not they can handle different levels of commitment, and what stresses can affect their ability to fulfill the commitment. Ideally, all that SHOULD change when the marriage takes place is the fulfillment of a spoken commitment, but if you know what stressors would damage or affect that beforehand, it prepares you for what’s to come.
