I know you guys know this stuff already, but I want to cover the basics, and so I had to tackle Step 1: don't get married. I give 13 reasons not to. Here's an excerpt, along with a link at the bottom, if you'd like to read the article.

Don’t Get Married

"Many men blunder naively into marriage.  They are like greenhorn recruits, wandering blindfolded through a minefield, whistling a happy tune.   

I need to cover the basics, and it doesn’t any more basic than this: do not get married. 

Here are 13 reasons. I could name more, but I figured I’d stop at lucky 13.

1. Lethality

I try to keep things light, but this one isn’t even remotely funny. After a divorce, men kill themselves seven times more often than women do.  Men’s suicide rate – which is already three and a half times higher than women’s – doubles after a divorce.  By contrast, women’s suicide rate remains constant after divorce [1]. 

That should tell you something. 

Divorce hurts men in a way it does not hurt women.  Among those who commit suicide after a divorce, 88% of them are men.  Not only can divorce be financially, relationally, and emotionally ruinous, it can take your life."
