WHY SETTLE?

That's the question I ask you. WHY SETTLE? We as Americans have become accustomed to having the biggest, the best, the fastest, the coolest. That's why American's have so much debt. People want to drive cars they can't afford, live in houses they can't make the payments on, and live a lifestyle that is beyond their budget. We always want the best. But when it comes to getting married or being in a relationship, our motto seems to be totally different. Our attitude of wanting something above and beyond goes out the window. We settle for unhappiness, yet this seems ok to us. Why is it that we go for stuff that we can't afford, but with something that's free, we aim low. Why do we settle?

Why are there so many broken homes? Why are there so many wives that stay with abusive husbands. Why are there so many people that stay in relationships with people that cheat? Why do people stay with people that treat them like garbage? With so many other people in the world, so many fish in the sea, why do people continue to fish for bottom feeders?

I believe they need to have a class for guys and girls in junior high. The class for guys would be on how to be a real man, and how to treat women. The class for girls would teach a girl to have self esteem and confidence, and to be patient and find a good guy that deserves her. Both classes would teach the students about relationships, and what all is involved. I think that if schools would spend less time on teaching dates and things that aren't applicable, and spend more time teaching real life stuff, there wouldn't be as many problems as there are.

Of course, you can't put all the blame on the schools. The blame definitely goes on the parents. If parents were better role models and did a better job of raising their kids, we wouldn't have as many kids in gangs, kids on drugs, and kids getting into trouble. Unfortunately, this is all another subject, and we're not going to discuss it. But the problem is that the majority of kids never see what a real marriage is all about. They grow up in broken homes where there is one parent raising them, and the kid doesn't get to see what a true marriage is. The divorce rate in America is 50%. That means that 1 out of every 2 marriages ends in divorce. That's actually a pretty scary statistic. It really doesn't give a lot of hope.

But I'm hoping that things will turn around soon. And the way to turn things around is through proper education, and acting out those principles. This actually all started as few page paper I wrote for a couple girls I worked with that were having guy troubles. But after talking with scores of other people and realizing that relationship and marriage problems are all over the place, I decided to take it to the next level.

I have spent a lot of time writing a lot of this information and making it into a website. If I can change just one person, then it is all worth it. But unfortunately, reading the information on this website isn't going to do much. Knowledge without action, is just a bunch of useless information. It's not what knowledge is, but it is what it does, and how we apply it, that makes the difference. I hope that you can apply some of these principles, and share the website with people you know. I know that this information isn't perfect, and there is a lot I left out, but hopefully it will open some eyes, and show that there is such thing as true love, and you can find it. Thank you for your help!
