As a coach, I’m always telling my clients that when dating to marry they need to seek out someone who inspires you and whose personality you find attractive rather than someone who just shares your interests.
My recent sailing adventure with Michael, my dream husband, perfectly illustrates why you need to do this if you want to marry your perfect match.
But first I need to tell you a little bit about our early days.
When I met Michael, he was warm and open. I loved his personality.
He was an amazing listener and our conversation just flowed and flowed and flowed. I got so caught up in his stories about his life, especially the parts about how, as a child, he got hooked on sailing with his family. I was also inspired by his passion for design and architecture and how he ran his business.
What was I interested in?
When I wasn’t running my recruiting business, you could find me going to Kabbalah lectures and learning about Judaism, exploring vegetarian and ayurvedic cooking, or volunteering at the local animal shelter.
Guess what?
We never would have connected if I insisted on following the conventional dating advice about how you need to find someone who shares your specific interests. And if we didn’t connect, I never would have had all these amazing adventures.
Growing up as I did, I wasn’t exposed to things like sailing or travelling. We didn’t even have a car and rarely left New York.
But I trusted the Meet to Marry™ method that I was developing and that’s now grown into a flourishing business that is helping so many single men and women find love.
So this week I want to share with you why it’s so important to find someone who inspires you.
