Being in a relationship for someone (post high-school) for more than 1 year with no marriage proposal should be the end of that relationship.

I believe many have the error of searching for the "perfect person". Two people that come together should focus more on how to work on themselves. For example, how will I cope with changes in libido or distance, how will I support my partner through their grief?

I think selflessness is a quality to look for in a partner. If both partners possess elflessness, the marriage cannot fail, because each aims to make sure the other is okay and to love the other well. Selflessness can be assessed early on.

Addition to my post: happily married to a wonderful husband.

Addition to my post: tired of hearing my friends complain about countless failed relationships. Establish your priorities, find a person who is similar, be selfless and love one another.
