During the wedding rehearsal a groom approached the pastor with an unusual offer: ":Look, I'll give you $100.00 if you change the wedding vows. When you get to the part where I am supposed to promise to 'love, honor and obey' and 'be faithful to her forever, well I'd appreciate it if you just leave that out.' He passed the minister a $100 dollar bill and walked away satisfied.
On the day of the wedding when it came time for the groom's vows, the pastor looked at the young man in the eye and said, 'Will you promise to prostate yourself before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life, and swear eternally before God and your lovely wife, that you will never ever even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?' The groom gulped and looked around, and said in a tiny voice, 'yes.' then leaned toward the pastor and hissed,'I thought we had a deal.' The pastor put a $100 dollar bill into the grooms hand and whispered, 'She made me a better offer.'
I do not know the original source of this joke, but think this charming joke to the seriousness of commitment and marriage. It is not something to be taken lightly yet many do. Here are some tips.
Prepare yourself for your mate. What can you bring to the table of marriage? What can you work on in your life until the time you meet?
When you start dating ask yourself can you see yourself married to each other? If not why date that person.
Treat her like you would want to be treated. Offer respect, integrity, communication, compromise and honesty.
Give of yourself selflessly and tirelessly as you work to prepare for a life together.
Ask questions. The more the better to know if you are right for each other. I once had a friend that drew up a list of 888 question to ask her future husband while they were dating. Be wise with your questions and be silly too. This is your time to trouble shoot.
Remember there are three types of glue that will keep you together. God, Sex and Children in that order. God can be applied in the beginning but try to save sex and children for when the marriage is sacred.
Go into it as if it is forever.

This was actually funny lol!
Also I agree. The base of it all is respect, integrity, communication, compromise and honesty from one to another. And always one must remember that the compromise is with God and yourself, stay true to yourself, be honest to yourself; if you are you will be with your partner too naturally. This is where the true value of a man/ woman is.
Much thanks!
