Who would you rather get relationship advice from?

Would you rather take advice from someone who has ';been around the block'; and perhaps been married a few times and made their mistakes but has finally gotten it right or would you rather get advice from someone who has been only with one other person and has been married for a long time? Which advice would carry more weight in your eyes?


Who would you rather get relationship advice from?
One person that has been married for a long time.





And I NEVER bother with anyones answer where they are like 25 years old and been married for like two years.......I don't think most people have a clue until they are at least 30.........that's just me.....Who would you rather get relationship advice from?
I don't think you have to get your advice from someone who has the perfect life now. Bad stories and situations can be quite eye opening! The person who's been married several times might have finally just settled for the next one who came along. And the person married for years may have just gotten lucky enough to meet someone very compatible with them. I would rather have advice from people who care about me, whether happily involved or miserably married. I think that's what's important.
It depends on what relationship advice you are seeking. The one who's been married for ages would be good for advice on say how to get through a rocky period in a long term committed relationship. The one who's been around the block might be better to consult on things like, when to give up and break up and how to choose from prospective new lovers.
The person with the long, healthy relationship. Clearly, they know how to create success and happiness with their partner. The other person, how can you even guarantee they have ';finally gotten it right'; - what if it is just a matter of time before their next divorce? Their track record shows that they might have a few things that they don't understand about making a relationship work.
Dr. Phil: married and divorced wife beater





Dr. Laura: divorced adulteress





Barbara DeAngelis: divorced 5 times, including from the 'Mars/Venus' guy





Mars/Venus guy: divorced








It's pretty clear who peolpe listen to.





certainly not those who have successful lasting happy relationships.


















I would like to get advice from anyone who has reasonable ideas, but experience counts a lot. If someone has been married twice...does not make them an expert...sometimes it makes them worse. Sometimes, the subject will really grab a person's attention and they will give you great advice. God bless us all
The best advice will come from the 2 that are in the relationship.


Talk things over.


Discuss your feelings


Find compromises if you can


What works for some couples may not work for you, it's best to communicate with your partner first



Well honestly I would listen to both walks of life. Hearing each one's advice would be very interesting. You have to take peoples advice very lightly. Just listen to what they both have to say and filter it the best way that fits your situation. gl !
I'd be open to listening to both but I'd say the person married one time has honored their commitments and vows. The one who's been married a few times didn't.
The person who has been around the block they have more experience and aren't wearing rose colored glasses.
You have the two best advice givers on yahoo on this thread in Valerie and Anji i will take their advice any day.
The experienced one.
I would chose the person who learned how to make it right the first time.
Some one like my dad who has been around the block.





I love Miss Valerie too.
Someone who had been married to one person
person who has been married a long time.
