How to Know if He's the Marrying Type

Two different people stay together because of the love and affection they have for each other. It's such a nice thing that two people stay together because they can't help to live each day without the other. You and your better half may have spent a lot of dinner together, do weird and adventurous together, things that you love together, but have you asked yourself if he's thinking the way you do? Have you ever think of settling down with your partner, or perhaps you are not sure enough if he is the marrying type. Below are the ways on how you can tell if your partner is the marrying type:

Someone who thinks of his future feels that he should be with his family often. It is the time when he appreciates the real definition of being a Dad. Experts say that this is because in a way he knows that one day, he will soon end up with that role and that there is no other perfect time for him that to appreciate his parents but now.

He falls deeply in love. It is only true love that will make a man decide that he's willing to take the risk of settling down and leaving the beautiful bachelor life he had before. It is still love that fuels your mind to open the next chapter of your life, a life you chose with your love.

He talks from his heart. A guy who talks from his heart and not from his head is a guy who will surely want to marry. At times, he will not pay attention to what you are saying, but you see that when it is time for him to speak he speaks to you as if he is giving you the whole part of him, and that is his heart.

Securing financial needs. A guy who would like to settle down will surely show enthusiasm in working hard and join some investments because he knew that he will be providing everything with his family in the future. It is very essential thing for a man to provide the needs of his family.

He’d like to be the Chef in the house. When a guy feels that it is time for him to settle down, he will surely try what he can do in the kitchen. Romantic guys would love to cook for their wives even if it means that they have to stay in the kitchen for two hours just to finish the job.

10 tips to keep respect in your relationship

1. Texting instead of sending a birthday card is not a goer. It generally tells your partner that you actually forgot their big day, and are sending a text to pretend that you haven't. Is your life really that busy?

2.Not only failing to hold a door open but actually letting it slam behind you in your partner's face is never on, no matter how much of a rush you are in. Even worse, is not saying thank you when someone holds the door open for you.

3.Email greetings cards are fine to friends if you put a bit of effort into them (ie: not the freebies you get on a Google search) but unless your significant other is miles from home with only an internet connection for company, it really does show a shocking lack of thoughtfulness.

4.Eating the last chocolate in the box without consulting your partner is unwise - if it also happens to be their favorite, it's unforgivable.

5.Rushing ahead to bag the window seat on a train, 'plane or bus before offering it to your partner could lead to an abrupt end to your relationship.

6.When it's raining, hogging the umbrella to the extent that your partner is left uncovered and soaked is not very considerate. Cuddle up, or you might find it's not just the umbrella that is left surplus to requirements.

7.Drivers who repeatedly park the car so they have loads of room to exit the vehicle, whilst their partner must squeeze like a contortionist to get out, deserve have not just their car keys confiscated, but their relationship too.

8.Taping over or deleting your partner's favorite programmes from your Sky+ planner in order to make room for your own, is not just lacking in chivalry, it's just plain mean!

9.The definition of a swine is a one who hogs the remote control 24/7, especially if they go to the extent of actually taking it off their partner when they enter the room.

10.Insisting your partner always goes to the bar to get the drinks in, especially when you're out in a big group with most of your mates, is not just tight, it's rude!

I often heard these questions which surpasses from every generation in finding someone to whom we feel constantly connected and personal relationship with. Being in a relationship is a challenging yet dramatic one. Just as what we see in the movie, read in novels, it is just a series of ups and down situation, a climax and an end.

A love story

There’s only one good thing about breaking up and that’s making up, especially during the holidays. Why do people fall in love and the end up crying? Breaking up is something like untying a rope to a tree; breaking a glass or tearing a piece of paper. Being meant to be in a relationship in spite of the obstacle the couple encounter is not possible so long if any of them will do the first move to initiate the make up. If love is still prevailing, why not cope up the lost time? I will share to you the love story of my friend. I had known this relationship because I was the “sumbungan” of their happy and sad memories of their relationship.

THE BREAK-UP:
“Looking back, I know that I freaked out; I became a commitment-phobe,’ says 25-year-old Samantha. After she graduated from college in 2002, Samantha returned home to- leaving behind Dave, her boyfriend of two years. ” Dave still had another year of school left,’ says Samantha. “We were totally in love, and I tried very hard to do the long- distance- relationship thing- we would see each other almost every weekend. But eventually we got so caught up in our own lives that we practically stopped talking.”
After a series of strained phone conversations, Samantha and Dave ended their relationship. Determined to make the most of her new freedom, Samantha began to date “a lot”, but she couldn’t stop thinking about Dave. No matter how many dinner dates she laughed through, he was on her mind: “I kept asking myself, how I could have let him go?’
The breakup wasn’t easy for Dave either. “When we ended, I was so upset, “remembers Dave, 24. “I missed Samantha terribly, but there was nothing I could do. She was in Cagayan; I was in Manila. I just had to get on with my life.”


THE MAKE-UP:

When Dave graduated a year later, he moved to Cebu City. Unknown to him, Samantha had also moved to the city to pursue her medical course. Then at 7:00 on New Year’s morning, Samantha received a call that made her heart sink. Her best friend was phoning to say that she had been to a bar the night before and had bumped into Dave- with his new girlfriend, a beautiful blond. “When my friend told me she saw Dave with another girl, I cried my eyes out and called him immediately, “Samantha recounts. “ It was vey weird. I cried even more on the phone. I just missed him so much.”
Understandably, Dave had his reservations. “I didn’t want to get hurt,” he says, “but I couldn’t not see her.” He agreed to meet Samantha for a holiday drink.
Samantha recalls her feelings when she met Dave again: “I felt like someone had kicked me in the stomach. My hands were shaking. The conversation was very awkward. We were both trying to pretend that life over the past year had been great, when in truth we were both hiding a lot of sadness.” But says Samantha with a big grin, “A couple of drinks were just like old times again.”
The evening ended with a good-night kiss, and they quickly picked up their relationship where they’d left off. “We fell in love all over again,” Dave says. “That was two years ago. Now. I can’t imagine life without her.” And that other blond? Promptly banished to Christmas past.
