Would you marry you?

I am a Facebook nut. (come join me)Some might say addict. The networking with new friends and reconnecting with old ones is really fascinating to me. Within Facebook there are Notes that can be created. These notes can either express opinions, relay stories or ask probing questions. One of the notes that is being passed around is a questionnaire about you, your life and personality. Within this set of questions one, I feel, should invoke a lot of thought.

The question is this, "If you were someone else, would you be friends with you?"
What a great question to ask yourself. What a great opportunity to take inventory of how you are as a friend. Do you gossip? Are you loyal? Are you helpfully truthful? Are you a flake? Do you show up on time to events? Do you show you value them being in your life?

This is also a great probing question when it comes to marriage.

Ask yourself honestly:
If you are married- If I was my spouse, would I want to be married to me?
If you are single- If I was my potential spouse, would I choose me?

Are you caring and sensitive to your their needs? Do you go out of your way to show charity, compassion and understanding? Do you forgive easily? Do you uplift them in their endeavors or hobbies? Do you ask them if you are being a good spouse? Are you open to hearing what they have to say and really trying to understand their needs? Do you confide in them instead of someone else? Are you growing as a person? Are you growing spiritually?

If you are not someone you would marry or want to stay married to, why would you ask someone else to be?
