There’s a new dating website that is only for people who are ready to get married.
On the surface, it seems like a good idea and may be ideal for those who are tired of meeting casual daters and people who are not serious about a relationship.
However, here’s why I feel it’s the wrong approach:
1) It’s better to date casually, without an agenda, so you can get to know each other better, instead of focusing on and being distracted by a destination that may not be meant to be, or meant to last.
2) Sometimes those who are overly interested in getting married are those with whom you are better off not entering a legally binding, life-long contract like marriage. For example, the types of people who could potentially be more burdensome than rewarding are those who are in debt, looking for someone to take care of them financially, emotionally dependent, or not happy with their life or themselves.
3) Based on my research, I firmly believe that you meet who you are meant to meet, when you are meant to meet them, and it will last for as long as it’s meant to last. Therefore, marriage isn’t always the best idea for all couples.
4) If people only want to date you casually, there are probably reasons why. Most casual daters will want more with someone if the connection is there and it’s to their advantage too. If there’s no real benefit for them to commit or get married, why should they?
What do you do if you want to get married but have no options?
1) Make the most of yourself (including getting fit physically and emotionally). Yes, appearance is superficial, but in our society, it does matter.
2) Learn to love (okay, at least like) being alone and single and be grateful for the benefits.
3) Make an effort to meet like-minded people.
4) Accept that if it’s not happening now, it will happen when it’s meant to be. A good intuitive consultant and, or numerologist and astrologer can tell you when it’s most likely to happen (and not happen).
5) Enjoy the journey and try not to focus on the destination too much.

Have you ever rushed into a marriage? If so, what happened and what was the end result?
If you are happily involved, did you meet your partner when not trying too hard or when you didn’t expect to? How did you meet?
Interesting blog you got here but I can’t seem to find the RSS button.
Thanks for posting this, it’s just what I was googling. This is why I like blogs, you get a personal opinion from someone rather than a corporation trying to sell you on something, or an idea. I’ll be reading your blog more often!
I discovered your blog on facebook groups. I just added you to my MSN News Reader. Keep up the good work buddy! Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
That rss page on your website here is awesome, you should tell people about it in your next post. I haven’t noticed it a first, now I’m using it every morning to check on any updates. I’m on a very slow dial-up link in Ohio and it’s quite daunting to sit there and wait for such a long time ’til the page loads… but hey, I just found your rss page and added it to the Google Reader and there you are… I’m always up-to-date! Well buddy, keep up the good work and make that rss button a little bigger so that other people can enjoy that as well
I usually don’t leave comments!!! Trust me! But I liked your Why Marriage Only Dating Sites Are a Bad Idea | HowIsYourLoveLife.com blog…especially this post! Would you mind terribly if I put up a backlink from my site to your site?
We ought to all care for ourselves just a little better, your post merely emphasises the fact.
I really like the fresh perpective you did on the issue. Really was not expecting that when I started off studying. Your concepts were easy to understand that I wondered why I never looked at it before. Glad to know that there’s an individual out there that definitely understands what he’s discussing. Great job!
Well, I had different opinions but I suppose the picture is clearer now. Thanks God for your site and the world wide web. Best Wishes, Yours Biggest Fan Nenita Giovanini
