Not all marriages end in unhappiness, and not all women are out to castrate men. The only “trick” to having a good marriage is finding the right woman to marry. Good sex is not a reason to get married. How do you know when you’ve found the right one? Ask two questions: 1) Do I care more about her needs than my own? 2) Does she care more about my needs than my own?

If both answers are “yes”, you’re on the right path. How do you know the answer to number 2? Trust me, you’ll know. If you have to spend money for her to have a good time with you, she does not care about you, she cares about your money. Is she interested in being with you, or doing things/going places you taker her? And by the way, looks fade for both of you. Make sure you like spending time together, because you’ll have lots of time together over the next 40-50 years. And by the way, if either of you feel you have to move in together first to “try it out”, that’s probably a sign you’re not sure about each other. When you meet the right one, there won’t be any hesitation from either of you.
