Marital relationships are very intimate and they are for a lifetime. Significant differences in the married couple’s personalities will make it difficult for them to live together in peace and harmony all their lives. For this reason and to avoid the terrible consequences of divorce, singles in our days have to be extremely careful about choosing their life partner to marry. The life partner they choose must be compatible with them in many ways. This means that they both must have similar backgrounds, similar cultural traditions and must be raised in similar environments. In addition, they must both have strong physical attraction to each other and both be flexible and willing to compromise their differences at all times. All these realities must be very clear to the prospective couple from the start if they are seriously thinking about marriage. They should realize that their relationship must be based on total honesty, fairness, openness and complete trust. All these are very essential if the married couple are to have a successful and lasting marriage, a joyful relationship and a happy family life together.
