One day I'd like to get married to that one special girl.

 

Do you have any tips to ensure that I will not end up getting divorced? Any words of wisdom? Any kinds of girls I should weed out?

 

Guide me, o wise ones, for I am at the foot of the master.

You seem like a really funny and smart kid from the posts Ive read from you

 

Like a lot of funny, bright guys you probably have a strong sensitive streak in you that is going to cause you a lot of pain going forward, so be prepared for that

 

The whole balanced guy thing gets too much press, but theres some grains of truth there. You'll have to come to a footing where you're human, but not too human

 

CaliGuy likes to talk about this a lot and probably has a lot more to say on the toic than I do. Sometimes I think he goes a bit overboard on it, but hes got some sensible insights

 

Basically the best thing I can tell you is to realize women are just as selfish as men and as sensual as men, but just like most men they don't want to hurt other people either, so theres no reason to hate them, but no reason to trust them

 

If you want to avoid divorce there is no guarantee of that. Work on yourself and your own body and career so that you have something to offer that theyll miss on a very fundamental physical level if you are gone from their lives

 

Just try and keep your life together so that you never need them, only want them

 

Having a great personality is something theyll appreciate, but never mistake it for the basis of love which is physical and rather selfish at its core

 

Thats about all I can think of with my 34 years of "wisdom"

Easy way to avoid divorce......

 

Don't get married!

 

Everything in life, and especially partnering up with another human being, is a risk. The best way IMO to manage that risk in a healthy way is to know, trust and love yourself first.

 

So, enjoy the company of women throughout your 20's and learn. Tempering that sensitive streak is best done during this time, before it gets too ingrained.

 

When your instincts are screaming at you that a relationship/situation is unhealthy, believe them. :)

Statistics show that the dumber she is, not only the more likely she is to GET married, but the less likely she is to get divorced. :) So don't pick up chicks from school if you're marriage-minded. LOL

I actually recently read this poll thing that had something to do with divorce lawyers. The point I remember most from it is that the longer you wait to get married, the less likely you are to get divorced. If I find it I'll post it on here.

I think that is backwards? The more education you have, the less likely you are to divorce. And yes, the younger you marry, the more likely to divorce. Apparently living together prior to marriage is also a higher indicator to divorce.

 

So - date women who have graduated with advanced degrees, who are past 28 or so, and don't live with them prior.

 

But as Carhill says, marriage is a crapshoot. Forever is a LONG time!

Not from the numerous studies I've read. I'm a little tipsy and it's past my bedtime, or I'd look them up. But I've read several that say a woman that is more educated will be more likely divorce - probably because she needs more mental stimulation to stay interested. I don't know. I'd have to find more info.

ps if you're wondering what a 16 year old is doing on a forum at noon on a Wednesday, I'm in exam period and I have an exam every other day. My last exam is Friday and the one I wrote today ended an hour or so ago.
