Choosing a Mate

Do you know what to look for in a potential mate? There are lots of qualities that matter: character, integrity, stability. But here’s something else to consider: look for someone who encourages you and has a positive outlook. It’s hard to have a happy marriage when your partner criticizes you or make you feel inadequate. On the other hand, it’s easier to have a happy marriage when you’re with someone who finds hope in situations instead of always seeing the glass half empty. Choose well when you choose a mate, and the path to a mutually satisfying marriage will be smoother.
