Help answer this question below.
Nope, that fear never goes away. There is no way to totally make it go away, although making a commitment does help. Believe it or not, sworn word does mean something to many people. But even when you make a commitment, and even when that commitment does mean something to both of you, you can count on it that you will both still sin. And one or both of you may sin badly enough that it will break up the marriage, if the other can't forgive it (which is also a sin).
But the bottom line is, whether or not it turns out to be a mistake, you have two choices: either you suck it up and take the plunge or you stay forever on the side of the pool. If you stay forever on the side of the pool, you can count on it that you will miss out on wedded bliss. You can count on it that you have made a mistake. Its like when you are taking a test in school and you are facing four answers and you aren't sure which on is right. If you don't answer it, you have for sure gotten the answer wrong and you for sure get a zero on that question. Do that to enough questions and you've failed the test. But if you guess on it, you have a 25% chance of getting it right. If you can eliminate two of the answers because they are ridiculous and guess between the final two, you've got a fifty/fifty chance of getting it right. That is a whole lot better odds than a certain zero.
Refusing to get married because you can't eliminate all fear of making a mistake is a certain zero. Make enough of those mistakes and you fail the test of life. If you at least give it a shot, you have a chance at a relationship that will improve you as a human being. It will make you stronger, braver, tougher, more loving, more vulnerable (dichotomies are a bi***, aren't they?) and more broken. It will sweeten life immeasurably. You can count on your spouse being imperfect. You can count on yourself being imperfect. You will be unhappy sometimes. You will have joy sometimes. If you stick it out, you'll reach contentment. It will be unequal. There will be times when you fall and he picks you up. There will be times when he falls and you pick him up. He will work long hours, you'll do more housework. Its just life. But marriage makes life so much more important, so much more expansive, takes you so much outside of yourself and is worth more than you have to give it.
Mistakes will happen. we are not machines.
Be yourself, be kind, do things out of love, you'll never go wrong. Things will happen, work though them, do not give up, growing is what makes the love stronger and lasting. Sometimes you have to give your all to keep things afloat, others will be him.
13years married
I have found someone I beleive to be the one......But my fear of making a mistake has grown...I dont want to lose him, so im trying even harder, even though he tells me not to worry and relaxe.
Yes! I knew the day we married that she was the right choice and I have never looked back. You will get it right. Don't worry.
in my opinion when your with someone and really really with them and you really share your life you have days that are bad and you have days that are good...on the bad days you can feel like you never want to see them again and they are not the person you want to be with everyone I know that has been married 15+ years has confirmed they still have these days even the people I know that are in their 70's they say by that point they know they arent going anywhere lol if your younger you will wonder at times when the cute person across the room gives you that smile you may wonder what would my life be like...But if its your soulmate your match...everyday even if they are 20,0000 miles away it will always come back to them. love is not a fairytale.
not right away. For me, the fear went away after I knew it was gonna work and all would be ok. It took a bit of learning.
