Trekking is for the fit, for those who love adventure and those who have the exprience will find it easier. You are foolish to think that those who can't trek, can't live happily. You can be fat, unfit, a couch potato and still be a good partner, depending on what kind of life you and your partner want to live. I have never seen a more short sighted article - you can't have 10 crieteria and say those who score 10 are going to be good partners. In fact there is no criteria, it is all about whether you both can understand and compliment each other. What is ideal quality for me may not be so for someone else.

Actually I completely agree with the OP. Trekking is not for everyone, and if you're one of those people who happen to be less of an outdoorsy-type person going on a trekking trip can bring out the worst in you. That doesn't necessarily mean that you would be the same in a marriage. There are some applicable points, for sure, but this 'trek date' analogy is not something that would hold for every couple.
Not a well thought one. purely from the point of view of the writer without thinking about the practicality of it. First of all both of them must have an mutual interest for this to work out. for that matter any activity. if one likes trekking and other does not, then obviously one is going to be whinning. otherwise he is not truthful about the entire thing is it not. if he whins he is not a good character, if no complaints, then not truthful either way it is defeated. going for a trek ? I wonder what else they have do together to understand each other.
In India risks are more and generally a good family girl will never opt for a Trek date. So this article needs to be thrown into the dustbin. If you go by this article, divorse is sure.
In India, you trek with a girl and the girl will be returned a woman, as she is most likely to get molested or raped.... so this is not a India suitable article.
Good Article. Agree with you 100%. But those who trek and interested in trekking will understand the reality and appreciate your article. For those, who are never been to treks will compare this approach with the western cultures.

that's right . Most indians do not know the joy of being one with nature and the feel that it gives to heart and mind.

but once again, Marraige is a commitment to marriage. It is not in trying to find the right person but a preparation for compromise
He is really away from reality.Why only treacking even after one year courtship married couple say bye bye after seet time. Marragige needs self commitment that is somting diffrent from searching others for perfection.
