Reddit reviews Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married

I have a lot of divorce in my family, so I never wanted to get married before 30, and I'm glad for that. I lived with my ex for 6 years after college before we broke up. That could have been a divorce. At 33 I married my 32 year old boyfriend. He proposed after we had been dating for 5 years and we got married a little before the 6 year mark. We are very cautious people when it comes to such a life altering affair, if you couldn't tell.

Sadly, many of my friends who got married in their twenties are now getting divorced now. It's heartbreaking to see.

EDIT - Damn, some youngins are getting hitched up in here! Promise the old lady you're being cautious because divorce sucks the most - believe. Do yourself a favor and read something like this in between pintrest sessions. You don't want to get hitched at 22 only to find out he sucks at 30. Life is the longest thing you're ever gonna do, take your time and pick the best partner possible.

Going off of this, Things I Wish I'd Known Before We Got Married by the same author is fantastic. Even during marriage, it helps you and your spouse communicate and flourish in the gritty, unspectacular, day-to-day business of marriage.

I'm used to and enjoy long term relationships.

I try to love myself, so I don't have to rely on someone else for love.

I'm trying to become more fit, though... the strength is increasing, but I still eat my body weight in ice cream.


There are two books I've read, for personal pleasure, not to 'snag' a guy, but I think they're helpful in all relationships, not just romantic ones.

The 5 Love Languages. This book I recommend to EVERYONE that ever has family, friends, or romantic relationships.
