Just when New Year’s Eve is over, another major “date” holiday is around the corner. For single people – especially women - the thought of spending Valentine’s Day without a man is depressing.
“Single women obsess on the fact they do not have that special someone to buy them $75 roses or take them out to a romantic dinner. (As if going out to a restaurant on an extremely crowded night is romantic!) If women focused more on who is in their life, instead of having any male in their life simply to elevate themselves to couple status, society would see more happy - and lasting - marriages,” says relationship researcher Ranee A. Spina, author of I AM Before “I Do” (ISBN 978-0-9774024-0-3) U.S. $24.99, www.IAmBeforeIDo.com.
A recent Woman’s Day survey proves women need new wisdom for choosing a life-long valentine. Only 44% of 3000 married women surveyed would marry their husbands if given the chance to do it all again. “It is much better for a woman to choose a love that makes her heart happy 364 days of the year,” adds Spina, “instead of on the single day that happens to be the second most commercialized holiday.”
Spina believes that women are choosing to walk down the aisle with the wrong man, at the wrong time. The author says there are four things you absolutely need to find a lifelong mate:
1. Choose the man that complements you socially. Are you a couch potato or a social butterfly? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that couch potatoes are more compatible with other couch potatoes.
2. Choose the man that is on the same page as you when it comes to sexual likes and dislikes. No explanation needed.
3. Choose a man that complements you financially. Talk about money BEFORE you walk down the aisle.
4. Choose to marry the man that matches you spiritually. Again, keep it simple. If you are religious, marry someone who shares your faith.
Ranee A. Spina is a nationally known relationship researcher and leadership speaker. She appears on radio and TV stations across the country. I AM Before “I Do,” received the USA Books News 2006 National Book Award.
