A marriage is made when two people choose to love each other. You two have been quarreling frequently. She has left you for another man. Seems to me that it is quite clear that she doesn’t want to marry you. You can’t force her to change her mind and God isn’t going to force someone to change. Even if it were possible, you both would be miserable if she married you against her will.<\/p>\n
What do you do? Have a good cry about losing her and then start looking for a better woman, one who is interested in marrying you. Appreciate the fact that she did help you improve, even if she does not want to marry you.<\/p>\n\t
Your advice really worked. Thank you so much.<\/p>\n
