and i would like to quote this from the article :

Beware of Avoiding Personal Responsibility: It’s very important to remember no one else is responsible for your happiness. Many people make the mistake of thinking someone else will fulfill them and make their life better and that’s their reason for getting married. People fail to realize that if they are unhappy as a single person, they will continue to be miserable when they are married. If you are currently not happy with yourself, don’t like yourself, don’t like the direction your life is going now, it’s important to take responsibility for that now and work on improving those areas of your life before considering marriage. Don’t bring these issues into your marriage and hope your partner will fix them.

I've said this to my girlfriends before and wrote something similar in this blog. I always believe that its important to feel happy and balanced on your own first before taking on a partner. Be contented with life and the things around you and you will find that your partner will complement this. Dont always expect them to bring in that ray of sun to you. That light should already exist within you and it will just shine brighter when you have someone to love.
