Lack of communication is devastating in relationships. It can be survivable but will always involve hurt to get over it.

Older OT's give me a run down of what you have learned over the years.
1 - Money doesn't buy happiness; it's important to have but don't fall in love with it
2 - no one is ready for marriage; it's something people "grow" into
3 - hang out with people that share your morals and values; you'll end up with better friends
4 - if something seems like it's too good to be true, it is
5 - NEVER loan money to a relative
6 - be careful of the toes you step on today, they could be attached to the arse you're kissing tomorrow
7 - loyalty and respect are 2-way streets; you can't get it if you don't give it
8 - don't trust anyone until they've earned your trust
9 - God gave you 2 ears and 1 mouth; he wanted you to listen twice as much as you talk
10 - my sig; there is no right way to do the wrong thing

Now that I read a little bit I will add this to the stew.
Choose a mate with a sense of humor. If you laugh a lot find someone else who laughs a lot. Life is meant to be enjoyed. If the lovely Mrs. LCA and I didn't laugh so much I don't think our deal would be entering its 25th year.
If you DON'T laugh a great deal, I really don't know what to say to you except, "sorry". Start watching MSNBC, no one ever laughs on that station either.

In your early twenties focus on your education and getting a good career start
If at all possible choose where you want to live and then find a job there. Do not move to a place you don't want to live for a job.
Establish your life where you want and how you want to live then bring a wife into your life.

how do we get other humans to see truth and to embrace it?
Why do we put ourselves through so much torture when we have the tools for complete true happiness and fulfillment.

Marriage is about compromise and trading the "excitement" of the single life for security. But, it is not for everyone and if you are self aware enough to know you are selfish (and are not going to change), do yourself and the other person a favor and don't get married.

See I don't agree with that at all, if you are aware of your own selfishness then change it. It is not a good virtue in any way and it will only bring pain and loneliness to your life.
Even if you do not get married, then you should still work on virtues. Staying a selfish person will lead to a wasted life. Most likely that selfish person will be on their death bed with no one to hold their hand and the regret will probably be enough to induce death itself.

then society will continue its trek downward into calamity. We as humans are responsible for the behavior and morals of the humans in the next 500 years. Not directly but we lay the ground work for their societal inter workings and we are fricking up in a big way when I look around. Yet we keep going.

The wife and I make 36yrs together in April. Still no expert, but trust has been our best friend. When she says she loves me and I to her, it has to be true, no guessing involved.
It still baffles me all these years later that my relationship to her is carrying on
GL to you ....

You're only 22 you have plenty time... I didn't get married till I was 41, my 30's were a blast, and married someone 14 years younger...
Down side, I'm 51 with 5y/o twins... I'll be working till I'm 70... No regrets though...
Like I said my 30's were a blast. I had money, a house, 2 boats and no responsibility.. came and went as I pleased and women were everywhere. Met someone I fell in love with, and just finally decided to settle down. My single friends were few and far between, and I didn't want to be that old guy in the club..

Jesus man, are you serious? At 22 you should already have at least one marriage under your belt and working on a second, at minimum. You got some work to do kid.

Been married now, happily, for close to 17 years.
Marry someone that you respect and admire. Everything else goes away, but respect and admiration endure. Also, let your spouse's happiness be your top priority. Once that is your top priority, your happiness will be her top priority, and everyone's needs get met.
I've seen friends and family hold out for a drop dead gorgeous spouse, but ultimately they were miserable and divorced shortly thereafter. The physical, while important, will not carry you through the difficult times. There must be something in your spouse that you admire and respect.

Caring for others rather than yourself is what real joy is, or so I think. Constantly pursuing your own happiness seems hollow and not fullfilling in the long run.
You are too young to be talking like this..drink a cold brew and relax. You missed the point of the thread..dont marry the first broad you think you have feeling for unless it's real.
