Everyone is different; embrace diversity.
Suppose you are lucky enough to be a provider and are financially stable. Look for a genuine person who has a strong work ethic to be your life partner. Venture out with confidence, and if that entails dating outside your community, go for it. Remember opposites attract, there is nothing sexier than interracial dating or learning a new language, along the way, and trying new things with an open mind.
Try not to marry young, and if it doesn’t work out, sometimes divorce is an option necessary for discussion, especially if abuse is going back and forth in your relationship.
However, remember to consider marriage from a business perspective as well. You are not only marrying that person, but also their family, credit history, and so on, and they are doing the same with you.
In a great marriage, there is love, and your partner helps you become the best version of yourself, and you should do the same. They should be your number 1 person to back you up in your personal life, career, emotional support, etc, and that philosophy needs to apply back to them. Help each other with the chores if one spouse is better at ironing or you are better at cooking, trade off within the week.
People notice everything when you go to work; some people even pay attention to the smallest details of a person, like the socks that they are wearing. It’s not about brands but how clean one presents oneself.
Your assets are your partner’s assets, and their assets are your assets. When your partner is attacked, it’s an attack on you as well, so learn how to defend legally and diplomatically when required.
- An old school example of this analogy is if someone hits you first, you have every right to hit back before they arrest the person who started the assault.
- Another old school example is if you have trespassers coming into your home, you have the right to defend your property.
