I am happily married (12 years), but I would be happier if I was not married. If it wasn’t for the kids…
I never congratulate a man who announces he is engaged. And, I counsel against marriage to my friends. (Sadly, they never listen – I remind them of my advice when they are in their divorce proceedings.)
The only reason that makes any sense to get married is if you want children. If so, you need to find woman who has a similar interests, and family history. If she puts off having children get rid of her before it is too late. You don’t want a mother who puts her career before having children.
The marriages that seem to last are ones where the wife is Asian and Catholic. That combination is your safest bet.
And for those keeping seperate finances – the divorce court often does not care about that. It will add all the assets up and distribute them “equitably.”
