Feedback. I know that many scams are out there and everyone needs to be very careful! Just never send money. But..I met and married a beautiful Russian lady that is more than I could have ever dreamed of.

Do most people consider you emotionally mature, able to compromise, communicate well, share your feelings, and handle anger constructively? Do you love this other person so much that you are willing to put his or her happiness before your own? Are you marrying out of strength I know who I am and am happy with myself rather than weakness I need someone to fill the gaps in my personality? Have you developed strong friendships that have lasted over time?

Are you able to keep commitments and delay gratification? Do you struggle on a regular basis with harmful habits or addictions, e. Is God calling you to marriage? Have you prayed and discerned about this? How do I know if this is the right person? Does your significant other bring out the best in you, and you in him or her? Are you physically attracted to this person? Can you imagine growing old together?

Do you experience ongoing conflict or, worse, violence and abuse in your relationship?
