Getting Married

Some people actually meet, fall in love, and get married.

How do you know if it’s right?

Hell if I know! The only time I was ever engaged, I called it off. For me, it’s never been right. Nonetheless, and not at all surprisingly, I have a lot of opinions on the subject!!!

If marriage is your primary goal, and you’re chugging full speed ahead single mindedly, bad things can happen. You may let infatuation and sexual chemistry drive your decision making. You’re hot on him, he’s hot on you, you’ve been dating two weeks and he gets this wonderful spontaneous idea to fly to Vegas TONIGHT! And you, in a moment of complete loss of all sensibility, say “YES!!!” If this ever happens, make him pay for the flight, hotel, and everything else! Why should you go in the hole when it was his idea?!

Sometimes, marrying early on in a relationship works. I’ve heard of couples married two weeks after meeting who have been married for decades. There are wonderful, exciting romantic movies about this phenomenon! But let’s face it ladies, most of these marriages don’t last. If they do last, they usually aren’t happy.
