Ideal Marriage Standards That Brought Me Happiness
Marriage is meant to be a beautiful union with our best friend and love of our lives when we set realistic standards. Growing up, I wanted the "West Life" kind of men. In fact, it was my dream to marry a tall, and very handsome man. My focus has never been on money, I just wanted a comfortable and happy life.
I had two relationships in school during my university days, and both had some of things I looked out for, I started wanting more realizing that physical features is not all it takes to have a happy married life. Nevertheless, I continued with the last relationship until after my graduation and ended things amicably, making sure my reasons were clear and we understood each other.
Another problem was the distance and language barriers. I couldn't picture myself doing a long-distance relationship, and it wasn't a time for me to start learning a new language, either in marriage.
Meanwhile, there was this particular person who had always been on my case. He was head over heels in love with me and wouldn't let go. I didn't really give much relevance to him because he didn't possess what I felt was a standard for marriage. It took me years to actually notice him and realized that he was the one to give me that love and peace I desire from my partner.
When I look back, I'm always grateful for the support I got from well-meaning friends who helped me appreciate what I have today. I love a romantic man, one who shows me affection. It's definitely what I can't trade for anything because I love attention. Today, I have my husband as my best friend, my love, and the husband of my youth. It's a treasure that is beyond any physical attributes I had wished for and he takes good care of me, so what more can I ask for.

Have a great day friends 🧡

While societal and cultural narratives shape our initial expectations of love, often prioritize external markers over emotional resonance, It raises the question-- How can we cultivate self-awareness to discern true compatibility earlier, resisting idealized fantasies?
Embracing vulnerability and openness to unexpected connections can lead to profound fulfillment, challenging us to redefine “standards” in relationships as fluid, rooted in mutual growth and understanding rather than rigid criteria.
Exactly but many aren't ready to made needed adjustments
Glad you married your best friend and someone who loves you more than you can imagine. That's all that matters in marriage, love, peace, understanding

At times we just don’t get too give attention to what we should have. But all for good if you had not gone that way it might not have ended up this way. What matters most is that there is happiness
Yes! True happiness 😊
