Study Notes

Choosing a Life Partner

  • The process of choosing a life partner involves two aspects: setting standards and determining compatibility through courtship.

Setting Standards

  • Setting standards involves identifying non-negotiable qualities and characteristics in a potential partner, such as:
    • Religious beliefs (e.g., being Catholic)
    • Level of dedication to faith and family
    • Educational background
    • Interests
  • Non-negotiable standards include:
    • Maturity to fulfill demands of married life
    • Fidelity
    • Being a true friend
  • Negotiable standards can be adjusted in terms of degree, such as:
    • Having a stable job → capacity to provide for family needs

Determining Compatibility

  • The second aspect of choosing a life partner involves determining compatibility through courtship, which has two parts:
    • 2a. Determining if the potential partner meets your standards through courtship, which allows you to:
      • Assess if the person is the right choice for life
      • Evaluate if the person meets your standards
    • 2b. Determining how the potential partner and you relate to each other's:
      • Family
      • Friends
      • Social circles
  • Courtship allows both partners to:
    • Be immersed in each other's social circles
    • Evaluate compatibility in different social settings
