Question
It may take years for you to develop the kind of relationship that's satisfying to both of you-cud u pls explain this statement better.thanks in advance
People change over the years. My wife and I have been married 42 years - we're both different people than we were when we were 22 when we got married. You have to move, adapt, change to get along with one another, make concessions and compromises - there will be some items that you will NEVER agree on, and you learn to live with them. For example, my wife is a democrat. Always has been. I was a Republican and recently joined the Libertarians. We just agree to disagree. In the 2004 election, I was a Republican who voted for Kerry, she was a democrat that voted for Bush. Weird, huh.
People do not remain the same. If you want to change your spouse before you get married, don't get married. Accept each other as you are now, and make changes as you go along. In a few years, you will reach an almost compatible relationship.
that's my opinion on your statement.
blessings,
carl
