This is a great article for me. I recall you had another article some time back and it spoke about picking the “One” gal. I remember you said in the article that you felt exicted and full of anticipation for the day of your wedding and I believe that’s how every gentleman should feel about their wedding day. I’m 24 and I’m getting married on Sunday May 5th and I have to say I feel the exact opposite. I feel anxious and depressed. I don’t know why though. I’ve known my fiancee for nearly 5 years and I know she is a great woman that will take care of me and love me eternally. I have no doubt that she will be a great wife. I feel unhappy even though she tries her best to bring joy to me. Could it be that something is missing for me in her personality? All my friends like her and love her as well as my family. Is their something wrong with me that I need to get over?

Carl, 95 % is pretty good! But you can make it 100 % if you become a Mormon! (BTW they consider themselves Christians too.)

But seriously, religious differences are like other differences–they can be important, but they don’t have to be ALL-important. You have a lot of common ground.

all/almost all (about 95%) are a positive for me, but the only problem remains that our families are different religions :/ hers is Mormon, mine Christian…any suggestions? I don’t want to give up on her, she means the world and almost everything on there was a positive response…I don’t want to give up a chance with her just yet if it can be helped.

Goodness, you write articles on decisiveness but the compounded lists of perfectionism seems to negate that all together! If there is any list I would write about what to look for in a man, the first and foremost is that he would recognize that humans are imperfect beings! We may not all have the same experience in life, but it is the willingness and curiosity to learn and seek a higher good that is important, in my humble opinion.
E.g., understanding money is something that can be learned, health is something that unfortunately not everybody can control even if they are avid athletes, and family is something that we need not be picky unless there are extremities.

@ Jon Morris: We cannot judge ones FB friends as anyone’s true friends. It is more of what her true values of friendships hold to be true to your beliefs as well.

If I gave any of these gentlemn tips, it would be to dive into love when you feel it. Trust your gut from the core. Ask God for what you want and appreciate what God gives you since you asked for it. But own your decisiveness and be careful what you wish for.

Good advice to follow. Some which I wish I’d had. Now at 50 years old, I’m a bachelor until they throw the dirt on me.

An item that cost 98 cents in 1944 would cost over 12 dollars in 2013 due to inflation. You got a steal!

In 1944 there was no such thing as a pre-nup agreement. Is she in agreement once should be signed to save both from financial ruin ?

This seems obvious to me: are you sexually compatible? They wouldn’t have said that in 1944, of course, but you better believe it’s important.
