"A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences." - Dave Meurer



Here are a few tips for a successful first meeting with a potential life partner:

  1. Be yourself: It's essential to be authentic and true to yourself. This will help you build a genuine connection and attract someone who is interested in the real you. 

  2. Prepare: Do some research on your potential partner and think about what you want to know about them. This will help you have a more meaningful and productive conversation.

  3. Find common ground: Look for common interests, values, and goals. These shared experiences can help build a strong foundation for a relationship. 

  4. Ask questions: Show an interest in your potential partner by asking about their life, interests, and opinions. Be a good listener and respond to what they have to say. 

  5. Be open and honest: Honesty is vital in any relationship. Be open and honest about yourself, your interests, and what you're looking for in a relationship.

  6. Avoid sensitive topics: Avoid discussing topics such as religion, politics, or past relationships at the first meeting. Wait until you have established a stronger connection before debating these topics. 

  7. Have fun: A first meeting should be a fun and enjoyable experience. Take some time to relax and enjoy each other's company. 

  8. Respect boundaries: It's important to respect each other's boundaries. If your potential partner isn't comfortable discussing a particular topic, respect their decision and move on to another topic. 

  9. Plan a second meeting: If the first meeting goes well, plan a second meeting to continue getting to know each other. This will help you determine if there is a potential for a long-term relationship.

  10. Trust your instincts: Trust your instincts and pay attention to how you feel about the person. If you feel a strong connection, take it as a positive sign. If you feel uneasy or unsure, it's okay to take things slow and proceed with caution.

Arranged marriages are still a common practice in many cultures around the world. While it can be daunting to meet someone for the first time with the intention of getting married, it is important to ask the right questions to get to know the person and see if they are a good match for you. Here are some questions you can ask a boy on your first meeting for an arranged marriage: What is your idea of marriage? This is a broad question that can help you get a sense of his overall values and priorities. What does he see as the purpose of marriage? What are his expectations for a successful marriage? What are your long-term goals? This question can help you assess whether your goals are compatible. For example, if he wants to have a large family and you don't, that could be a major point of contention. What are your hobbies and interests? This question can help you find common ground and see if you have similar interests. It can also be a good way to gauge his personality and lif...

He’s like my best friend.” “She’s the best friend in my life.” He’s like my best friend.” “She’s the best friend in my life.” These are common statements and beliefs about a relationship with our spouse.That they must be our friend, no, best friend — as well as all the other roles a spouse plays in marriage.While I don’t discount that there should be friendship between husband and wife,  having him or her as your best friend will be the death-nail to the marriage. To clarify, I’m referring to best friend here as a primary and/or sole outlet of your relational needs. When you first met your spouse,  ideally  you were both living lives that were fulfilling and interesting (note the emphasis on “ideally”— if you and/or your spouse didn't have a lot going on when you first met, the relationship was already in really big trouble). One reason your spouse was attractive was the life they were living apart from you. The lives you were living before you met we...

The Biggest Communication Problem In Any Relationship

George Bernard Shaw once said, “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” Picture this: someone is speaking to you, expressing their thoughts carefully for you to understand. You wait for the breaks in the conversation when you think they’ve finished talking, and then you interrupt with your own piece of information or repeat what was just said. “Oh, I know just how you feel,” you say, or “I had the same thing happen to me. Let me tell you about it!” You fail to listen. You create your own ideas. You miss the message and the opportunity to understand. It’s about your agenda, not theirs. Have you ever experienced this?  Often, you think you’ve understood what was said, but the reality is that you spent the whole time formulating a reply and forgot to actually listen. Arguably, listening is the most difficult skill in communication, and we’re getting worse at it. What We Listen Vs. What We Understand There is a lag time between listening ...
