The Art of Marriage?

Yes I am going to discuss it and yes there is an art to it. First and foremost you need to get married for the right reason sex is not it, neither is compatibility or physical and mental attraction or just the ability to communicate and grow together. It is all of these with none being more important than the other. Having been married for almost 30 years I can say it is no bed of roses, or is it as the rose has many thorns. People now get married without really looking at all the reasons to do it and that is why there are so many divorces. Yes there is the case where circumstances have turned the husband or wife into something they never were before. I believe that if there is open an honest communication on both sides that most of the thorns can be removed.

Communication - A process by which information is transferred between at least two parties. It is much more than this when it is between 2 partners there must be an exchange of information but also there must be a clear understanding of what is meant by the verbal, non-verbal or written communication. People interpret things in different ways and read thing into the communication that are inferred or not. There are many example of this especially in non-verbal communication. Example: the way a guy or girl dresses may say to one person I want SEX and to another it is just being dressed for the occasion. I will expound more later as I get opinions or feel the need to add detail.
