Choosing a Mate
The practice of choosing a mate based on their ability to provide for a family is
an important one, and while that ability in the human world is not judged by their
ability to go out and hunt wild game it is judged on their ability to meet their
responsibilities. The amount of responsibility that you are looking for in a mate
should be determined by your expectations for your future. If you are attempting to
retire at a young age you are going to want a mate who is willing to help you work
and sacrifice for that goal.
On the other hand, if you want to start a family you are going to want to choose a
mate who is willing to carry their part of their home responsibilities and possibly
put future career advancements on hold. If you are a free-spirit content to go
through life as a free-spirit you are going to want to find a mate who shares the
same viewpoints you do. Whatever the case, you are going to need to choose a mate
who is going to be willing to hold up their half of your future together. While a
mate who is undecided as to their path in life and is content to depend on you to
make your way may still be enjoyable at the beginning, over time you will come to
resent the extra strain that constant worry over financial matters will bring.
