Would you rather marry someone who you know will be:
1. A responsible spouse, be the supportive husband/wife, be a great parent. You know you will find security in that individual. However, this individual is average looking, and has an kind personality, however is not an adventurous or to fun so your marriage might sometimes be a little dull.
2. Individual #2 will be a fun loving, good looking, and an outgoing individual who you know you will have fun being with. You know they be a good spouse but the thing is that they may be too easy going that you dont know if they will be responsible when you need them to be.
Who would you choose?
Pretty unrealistic possibilities. If people knew ahead of time that their prospective partners were going to fall into either one of these categories, they'd never get married in the first place.
Madly and totally can sometimes be infatuation or something totally crazy, which is in fact short lived and fizzles out a few years into the marriage.
Obviously, you want to test that love thru time and experiences together BEFORE you get married to make sure it's not just infatuation.
But to marry without being completely in love, ready to literally walk thru fire for that person, is just foolish. It takes THAT kind of love to make it for the long haul.

I think the signs are often there...we just choose to ignore them.
For example, there have been several times where I've looked at my friend's significant other and thought, "You have got to be kidding me." And the friend was too starry-eyed to figure it out.
For every cheater-bo-beater who said, "I want a combo!" - that wasn't a choice.
I would like to fall in love with #2 and after the honeymoon is over she would reveal her true #1.
My last relationship started as a #2, but I had to come to the sad realization that she was never going to be anything close to a #1. When you are talking about having a partner in life, you need to have someone that is going to be able to do their part and carry their weight, not another dependent to worry about.

Wait for Door #3.. as someone stated earlier, I believe you can find someone with the majority of attributes your looking for.
