Getting Married Soon?

The short list of recommendations from Dr. James Dobson:

(1) Don't marry someone who has characteristics that
you feel are intolerable.

(2) Do not marry impulsively!

(3) Do not marry someone with dramatically different religious
views, especially if matters of faith are important to you or to the other person

(4) Do not move in with a person before marriage. It undermines a relationship and often leads to divorce.

(5) Don't get married too young. Those who wed between the ages of 14 and 17 are twice as likely to divorce as couples who wait until their 20s.

(6) Finally, I'll conclude with the ultimate secret of lifelong
love. Simply put, the stability of marriage is a by-product of an
iron-willed determination to make it work.
