[quote name='Raphael' date='Dec 30 2004, 03:12 PM'] I want to be my future wife's best friend, who hangs out with her and wants to be in every part of her life and wants her in every part of my life, who helps her with everything she needs and most importantly--is constantly pouring himself out to her in every little deed of the day. Within the sacrament of marriage, that pouring out of love to her is a pouring out of love to Christ as well. It's not my "angle"...it's who I am and who I want to be...in the order of St. Joseph. [/quote]
Good for you Raphy. When you get there, let me know. ;)

I like that Raphael.

Ya know before I joined the Church I already had two awesome kids, but I never thought of marriage as a Sacrament. Never even heard of it until RCIA.

I think thats why my relationship with my kids mom never worked out. I wanted to be a Church Militant, she didnt.
Prolly too late now since I have 'baggage' (but what awesome baggage).

but if God ever sends me an Angel to be with Im sure it would be with someone that I can attend Mass with, and know that she has the love for the Body of Christ like I do, and want to stay and pray afterwards, maybe visit Jesus late at night in Adoration Chapels here. Someone to complete me, and I her. And we both look to God for fullfillment.

Until then..im in a constant Advent.

Yes, Raphy, security with a big $. Not always. Sometimes security can mean a stable job, blah blah blah. Above all, women unconsciously seek out partners based on what's best for their children. If he has good genes (i.e. athletic type, intelligent), she will be se.xually attracted to him hence want to breed. If he has power, wealth etc, she will be attracted because he will give their children a better future. If he is honest, trustworthy, secure etc he will make a good husband and father. All these factors play a role in the pairing up of lifelong partners. [/quote]
Psychobiology. Blech.

If we as evolved creatures are driven by the mere desire to propagate our seed, why do women who acquire wealth, status, "Prince Charming" type husbands,etc. , end up producing fewer offspring than their poorer associates?

That is hardly the case and please don't lump all women together as falling into that shallow category.

Wealth and being able to support a family are not the same thing. Oftentimes they are distinct from one another. Giving children a better future means much more than providing for their financial needs.

I would much rather fall in love with someone who is poor, who isn't very good-looking, who isn't much of an athlete, who isn't very smart, but who is honest, trustworthy, loving, and caring, than fall in love with and marry someone who is rich, incredibly handsome, athletic, incredibly intelligent, but dishonest, untrustworthy, selfish, and neglectful.

I would much rather spend the rest of my life poor and happy, knowing that I am loved and cherished for who I am, than be well-provided for and absolutely miserable.

Not all girls are so shallow as that. It's simply not true.

I would say that has nothing to do with the laws of attraction.
