Why So Many Marriages Fail


One of the chief reasons so many marriages fail is that the functions of a date and mate differ radically: that of a date is to be charming; that of a mate is to be responsible; and, unfortunately, the most charming individuals are not necessarily the most responsible, while the most responsible are just as often deficient in charm.

    Good stuff Mark.

    This could be applied to many situations.

    A charming politician who after elected is not responsible in his job.

    A charming pastor when seeking a position who after being hired is not responsible in his duties.

    A charming group who wants your money for a project who after they receive your donation are not responsible with the finances.

    Charm is a wonderful attribute but fails to get the job done.
