Getting married now days is subjugating yourself to your (a) wife and (b) court system.
The woman has you by the balls. If you don’t give her everything she wants, when she wants, she runs to the court and divorces you. She gets half of everything and nice check from you to sustain her lifestyle. It’s a win-win for her.
I spent 4 years dating my wife before we were married. In 3 weeks today I will celebrate my 43rd anniversary with this woman.
It takes hard work on both sides, but is well worth the effort
Proverbs 5:18
Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
