Should We Get Married?

Choosing A Partner With An Attitude

In deciding whether to get married, there are many decisions to consider.  You are trying to decide if this partner will be someone you can live with forever.  You are trying to decide how this person might enrich your life.  You are trying to decide if you will have compatible life visions and trying to figure out if this person meets your relationship essentials.

One of many essential requirements you will be considering is attitude. I received this anecdote the other day that I feels best explains the difference that a positive attitude can make. It is a story about choices to help you in your choice. It is a tale that just might help you think about what you can or can’t control in becoming the kind of person your potential spouse would choose.

John is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"
