Nope, sorry.

Here are the things that my mom began hammering into my head beginning when I was 13. And because of them, I have a great life. There are only four ---easy to remember.
1. The most important decision you will ever make is who you marry. Choose with your head as well as your heart.
2. Have no children until your bond is strong, and have no more than you yourself can support. You may just have to
3. At any and all costs finish your education to qualify for those high paying jobs. It is likely that you will work sometime during your marriage, probably for decades…. Get paid for it. And remember, your kids and your education are forever…. Husbands, lovers and promises are not!!
4. Have a stash of cash no one knows about even if you are sure you will never need it. You absolutely will, and the more the better.
I look at some of my friends who have screwed up their lives big time.... too bad they didn't have my mom.

So, no, life is not a box of chocolates... YOU take control of your life, and YOU and you alone make the choices.

Good luck

It is like a box of chocolate, the difference is that some people grab chocolates selecting the ones they like for what they have tasted before with their own experience, others grab a chocolate with their eyes close, with just hopes it will have a certain liquor flavor but it ends up having some lemon flavor, that's because they don't know how to choose, or shouldn't be eating chocolates from that box to begin with and should be doing something else with their time.

The chocolate eather can't blame the box or the chocolate, it can only blame himself or herself for the one they have chosen or for being chosen without knowing.

While a person keeps blaming the chocolates or the box that they can't get what they want, it will keep getting or making the same mistake. Once a person understand it has been his or her fault for the chocolate they have had, and wont blame anybody except themselves, that's when a person has become mature, and is ready to get married or at least be in a serious relationship.

This Forest Gump quote is not accurate for good marriages. Too many people just marry someone they think they are in love with. They do not even know the person they are marrying.

A good marriage is based upon two best friends, who trust, respect and love each other. If you first become best friends and then fall in love you will have a lasting marriage.

Do not let yourself fall into the trap of marrying someone in the same way you pick chocolates out of an unmarked box.

Take care,
Troy

Was certainly true for my first marriage. Dated 2 years before marriage AND lived together for 6 months prior to the wedding, and I STILL didn't know him. If I had known before the wedding HALF of what I found out within the first year, I would have RUN RUN RUN away from the first sight of him! Instead, I spent 9 more trying to figure out how I was going to live with him-- then I decided I wasn't, so I left.

How true that is. Some people don't show there true selves until after marriage. My first husband did not abuse me until we were married. The man I am now married to does not always like my children and they are grown and on their own.
Too bad that we are now married.

this should be true for all marriages, excludeing arranged ones.

you never know who you will fall in love with,
and you never know where you will meet that person
sometimes the heart doesnt always listen to the body(:

Marriage is a crap shoot. People change and sometimes not always for the good.

Just a note: If you marry someone and think YOU can chnage them...it will NOT happen.

I repeat, you can NOT change someone.

it is very true! Men and women change after marriage --well i guess its not really changing, its that they dont discuss what they want out of the marriage,how they expect to be treated and what they expect from one another --I know that was my major problem w/ my hubby.

Absolutely. My ex was crazy but seemed normal at first. It apparently took those other personalities time to get comfortable enough to introduce themselves to me..
