My Ideal Mate
“Young singles looking for a romantic partner are typically attracted to external traits. Physical attractiveness, economic potential and social status are usually high on the list. These are not, however, the qualities that they are likely to value in their spouses after they marry. Happily married couples, when they evaluate each other, tend to emphasize inner qualities: caring, honesty, trust, fidelity, commitment, and self-sacrifice for the sake of the marriage. They value communication skills, companionship, and humor.”
Thomas and Judy Lickona, Sex, Love and You

What Does It Mean to Bethe Best Person I Can Be?
Taking responsibility:
• To become as healthy and mature as
possible
• To be a blessing to my mate

Paradox: One Plus One = One
Marital oneness builds on personal maturity
1. Unity of Mind & Body (individual perfection)
2. Harmony of Man & Woman

Questionable Idea: Marriage Is Supposed to Make Me Happy
![Page 24: 1 Rev. Phillip Schanker October 15, 2011. 2 3 Family Breakdown Is America’s Great Moral and Social Crisis From 1970 to 2000: Rate of marriage declined.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e555503460f94b4bd0a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Marriage Is an Opportunity to Be Happy
• “Marriage does not make us happy—it makes us married. We make ourselves happy if we choose to.”
Frank Pittman
• We tend to be as happy in marriage as is our habit…
• “The strongest characteristic of a marriageable person is the habit of happiness.”
Dr. Mary G. Landis
![Page 25: 1 Rev. Phillip Schanker October 15, 2011. 2 3 Family Breakdown Is America’s Great Moral and Social Crisis From 1970 to 2000: Rate of marriage declined.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e555503460f94b4bd0a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Do I Have the Habit of Happiness?
1. Do I view difficulties as challengingor discouraging?
2. Can I be happy even when things don’t go my way?
3. Do I usually count my blessings or what’s missing?
4. Do I often compare my situation to others?
5. Is my attitude shaped by what happens around me?
![Page 26: 1 Rev. Phillip Schanker October 15, 2011. 2 3 Family Breakdown Is America’s Great Moral and Social Crisis From 1970 to 2000: Rate of marriage declined.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e555503460f94b4bd0a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Taking Responsibilityfor My Feelings
1. We decide how positive we will be
• Whether glass is “half-empty” or “half-full”
2. No one can make us joyful or angry
• We choose our attitude regardless of situation
3. A negative or positive outlook is a habit
Cultivate positive mental habits- “weed garden”
![Page 27: 1 Rev. Phillip Schanker October 15, 2011. 2 3 Family Breakdown Is America’s Great Moral and Social Crisis From 1970 to 2000: Rate of marriage declined.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e555503460f94b4bd0a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Marital Satisfaction Depends on Adapting My Attitude
Happy couples are able to accept and adjust to what is outside their control
• Focus on the positive
• Avoid blame, self-pity and resentment
![Page 28: 1 Rev. Phillip Schanker October 15, 2011. 2 3 Family Breakdown Is America’s Great Moral and Social Crisis From 1970 to 2000: Rate of marriage declined.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649e555503460f94b4bd0a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Internally Responsible Attitude
• “I am committed to growing my heart and maturing my character to its full potential.”
• “I want to learn to love every kind of person.”
• “I want to take on difficulties to relieve others’ burdens and make a new future.”
• “I want to share God’s responsibility.”
