Will It Be a Marriage of Desperation? - DivineCaroline

The other day, I heard the latest tale of woe regarding two people I know that are getting married in a couple of months.
?
We will call them Rob and Laura.
?
Laura is in her late thirties, and we?ve known each other for five years now. In that time, her desire to find the right guy has gone from hopefully optimistic to complete desperation?so much so, that after only six months of knowing each other, she?s decided to marry Rob.
?
The thing about Rob is that he is the antithesis of Laura in nearly every way.?
?
She is obsessively neat; he never learned to clean up after himself.
?
She is an independent career woman; he has a chauvinistic streak a mile wide.
?
She has traveled the world; he?d rather ?stick to places where people speak English.?
?
She manages her money well; he buys based on what he wants rather than what he can afford.
?
The list goes on.
?
They fight constantly to the point that it is uncomfortable to be around them together. The way she treats him and talks about him behind his back shows that there is no respect between the two of them, let alone love. While differences are not necessarily the death knell of a relationship, a lack of love and mutual respect is.?
?
With the wedding only two months away, the only thing left to ask is, ?Why? Why would she want to marry a man who is obviously incompatible with her??
?
We are given constant reminders about the alarmingly high divorce rates in the U.S., and we wonder why it happens so often. The truth is that the Robs and Lauras of the world are the culprit. The desperate beeline toward marriage is leading many men and women to realize that they are miserable with their spouse a year or two after the wedding.
?
When it comes to having a successful relationship, love, compatibility, trust, and respect are everything. Take away any one element, and you are left with a relationship that most likely will not weather the difficulties of marriage. Many people are so desperate to get married that they ignore the fact that their relationship is already missing one (or all) of those elements.
