How do you keep hope for marriage alive after a split?

Cupid’s Advice:

After a split, it’s tough to move on, and you may think that you’ll ever find, or even wed, “The One”.  Here are some ways to keep hope for marriage alive after a split:

1. Meet new people: After you’re done healing from the break-up, go out and meet new people.  Otherwise, you’ll never find the right person.

2. Think positive: Avoiding thinking negative thoughts about the opposite sex and figure out what you’re searching for in a future spouse.

3. Behavior changes: Once you know what you want in a marriage, find someone who is compatible with you.  Don’t settle until you do.
