Don’t marry a woman who knows how to spend money. Marry one who knows how to save it.
I know nothing is hotter than a girl who knows how to dress well, buy you nice gifts, etc, but look at the flip side.
Would you rather come home every day to find $100 missing from your wallet… or to find an extra $100 in it?
Marry the woman sliding that money into your pocket, not the one sneaking it out.
Marry a woman who loves you for who you are, not one who loves you for who you’re going to be.
My grandpa had a saying I’ve always valued. “Men marry thinking everything is going to stay the same. Women marry thinking everything is going to change.”
If she expects you to change, she won’t ever be happy with who you are now.
Ditto for bossy women. Bossy is a good attitude for work, it’s not something you bring home. You want to be her husband, not her janitor.
Don’t marry a woman with no goals. Marry one whose goals you can help her reach.
A person with no goals is a person who just hasn’t realized what her goals are yet. You don’t want to wake up one day and discover that she’s changed her mind and wants to live in Antarctica studying penguins.
Unless you want that too, in which case, well done!
Don’t marry a girl you never fight with. Marry one you fight well with
Everyone fights sometimes. A woman who never stands up to you has no backbone, and that’s bad.
But not all fights are inherently bad. Not everyone says things they wish they could take back. Not everyone hits you below the belt. Not everyone gets physically violent.
Marry someone who cares more about your relationship than they do about winning the fight.
Don’t marry a girl who’s effortlessly hot. Marry one that puts in the effort.
Looks come and looks go. But someone who’s willing to go the extra mile to carry themselves well will continue to do so.
Marry a girl who appreciates you, not one who needs you.
Basically, don’t marry someone desperate. This includes girls so clingy they won’t give you space, or ones who give you “proposal deadlines.” If they’re in that much of a hurry, it’s not you they’re after but that stone.
Marry the girl who takes responsibility, not the girl who can’t finish what she starts.
Because what does that say about your relationship?
Finally, and most importantly:
Don’t marry a girl you can live with. Marry the girl you can’t live without.
Go the distance.
