First item on the checklist: be certain marriage offers you something (a benefit) unique from just being in an LTR.

Don't get married.

Don't get married. Find a woman you hate and buy her a house.

Our_media_lies · 2023-06-28T16:21:08+00:00

Why not cut out all the fuss and just give her half or more of what you own.

You need to be okay with her past, present, and future. They all matter. No exceptions.

By NEVER proposing. Is this a fucking joke or what? smh

Do not buy an engagement ring. If she cannot marry you due to not respecting this man abusing "tradition" made up by ring sellers, she might not be a good wife material anyway.

The common thing will all divorced men is that at some point ... all of them thought that she was different. Not like other girls.

I am guessing you are gonna learn it the hard way.

If you get married there is a 45% chance your wife will divorce you, take half your money, and half your paycheck potentially forever.

You have a 51% chance of winning a single hand of blackjack.

Your check box is this: Would you be willing to put half your assets on a single hand of blackjack? Because the odds are better that you'll succeed.

How long is your relationship? Have you 2 been living together? Common indicator of divorce would be different lifestyles and future plans. Here are a few clarifications you should consider with your girlfriend

Do you both want children? How many?
Disagreements happen. Are your arguments civil and are you both reasonable enough to compromise?
Spending habits? What type of lifestyle are y’all looking for and do they match?
Do you think she will support you if you become sick/disabled? Will you do the same?
Any complaints about household management and moneymaking, get them clarified now. It will build up in the marriage and cause problems later.
You both have to agree to sign a prenup. It protects you in cases of infidelity. If she isn’t willing to, thats a huge red flag.

You need to consider more variables but good luck op! Sit down with your gf and have a long heart to heart talk to make sure you both are on the same page

Plan ahead by figuring out who the good divorce lawyers are.

Prenup prenup prenup.

Probably not the best place to be getting marriage support, but just the fact that you’re asking makes me think you are being as careful as possible so that’s a good start.

Zazadoozie · 2023-06-29T08:03:01+00:00

Just don't do it.

Historical_Coat5274 · 2023-06-29T12:09:14+00:00

If you are sure it will work out, because she is the right one, you don't need to marry her, as it does nothing to improve your relationship.

If your relationship turns sour, a marriage doesn't help fixing it. It only entices her to divorce you, as she then get's half of your stuff.

So the only the only checklist item would be:
o Am i too happy with my life right now?
