It is my considered opinion that any couple considering marriage should conduct a series of 3 tests to determine their chances for success and longetivity as a couple. These are 3 experiences that they will most likely face together, as a couple...better to find out "before" the rings have been exchanged that they should not proceed, than after...right?
The idea for this blog came as I was discussing my own recent experience in one the test scenarios with a friend. We were sharing stories and experiences and after discussing our observations of other men in these circumstances it was decided that the testing would be of immense value to Men and Women considering marriage. These three test scenarios will provide great insights into the following aspects of each person's:
1. Personality
2. Logic & ability to reason
3. Financial aptitude
4. Love and empathy quotients
5. Patience
6. Idiosyncracies, quirks, victim complexes & insecurities
7. They will underscore who controls what in the relationship
8. And lastly..who will make the decisions.
Any of these tests separately, will prove useful information. But all three should be run for maximum benefit and to ensure that a solid test bed of data has been developed for evaluation..The great thing is you can run these tests..and not actually buy anything! Simlulation will prove invaluable in much the same way that "practice moon walks" simulate expected outcomes for another type of situation where lack of attention to details can proved catastrophic...Take my word for it folks...You haven't seen "bootsey" at his or her best until you run these tests!
I wish you well!
The three test scenarios are as follows:
1. Purchase an Appliance for the home.
2. Purchase Furniture for the home.
3. Spend time together on a Sunday Afternoon in the
Women's section of a retailstore.

AARRRRGH!
It's so hard to see those that you love struggle. We get ourselves trapped in destructive loops that we can't get out of. I am one of these people...say the right word, the right phrase and off I go..push the button and I look back 10 minutes later and think...what the hell was that? Who was that person..that's not who I normally am...How can we dis-assemble these buttons? Get rid of them? Remove them for good?
You can't help someone if they are not listening. They are not listening because the voice in their head is screaming at them and won't let them consider something different. Desparation, Fatalism,Fear of death, We can drive ourselves to death by living with stress that we create. This can happen when death is the last thing we actually want. Our system hears what we tell it, feels what we feel, reacts to what we feel, Weight gain is a direct reaction that our bodies have to stress.
