Indeed, that is the key to his success. Playing to the lowest common denominator always gets you the largest following. |

I think individualism is the root cause of much of the divorce we see today. Too many people believe that their wants and needs are all that is important or at best they are of paramount importance thus they give too little consideration to their partner or the family unit. This leads to people acting in their own interest, which often conflicts with their partners... if both are acting for their own interests then when they conflict the marriage will be dissolved.
Nietzsche stated "the will to marriage is the will of two creators to create something greater then those who created it, and in doing so go under." (thus spoke zarathustra part II). What he's stating here is that marriage is and must be a choice by the two individuals to create a new entity that is greater then each of the individuals... this new entity is the couple. In forming the couple the two individuals must give up their individual will in favour of the couple's will. I agree with this completely. Once married, individuals need to give greater consideration to what is in the best interest of the combined couple then what is in the best interest of each of the individuals. If each person always acts in the best interest of the couple then the marriage will be a success and both partners will share in that success and happyness. As soon as one of the partners puts their will above the best interest of the couple then the marriage suffers. |
although it is still very important to have your time away from each other too. ie have your own groups of friends and doing things with them without your so.

nigga please... that idiot wouldn't, nay couldn't, be quite so elequent or relevent... and certainly he couldn't possibly understand Nietzsche. If it were Dr. Phil talking he would have said something more like this.....
"Ya'll can't be behaving like you're single. Ya can't win a tug of war if everybody on the team is pulling the rope in different directions. Fruit salad ain't a salad unless it's all in one cup, the way ya'll are acting yer just peachs and pineapples in different bowls." |

What do you mean "like"? You're supposed to love her and not be ashamed to admit it if you're even thinking of getting married.

yes its very important, but when u do that, one of u will always get jealous eventually and all hell breaks loose...this marriage thing just doesn't work anymore these days. Its bad enough having a girlfriend/boyfriend living with u, and not having a legal agreement where u can walk away easily :( |

not true. if they are spending a healthy amount of time with their so/fiancee/wife then it will not be a problem. also if it is a healthy marriage it wont be a problem as they talk to each other and also let each other know what is bothering them. if your getting jealous then there is a communication problem. and we all know communication is key to a healthy marriage. |
