YOU WERE NOT MEANT FOR
MARRIAGE
1. Sex doesn't matter to you, marriage isn't for you.
In marriage, sex is not optional - it's core. If you
don't want sex, seek support from friends and
relatives, and consider adopting children.
2. If you want to keep your money separate, stay
single. Marriage is a shared vision, shared wallet,
and shared sacrifice. You can't pay bills like
roommates and expect the full rewards of marriage.
3. If you love your parents and children more than
your spouse, marriage will feel like a burden. Your
partner must come first.
If not, live with your parents and raise your
children there.
4. If you can't listen, stay alone. Marriage is not
ruled by one voice. It's built by two humble hearts
that listen to each other.
Know-it-alls depress their partner.
Humility holds love together.
5. If you're not correctable, stay single. If you can't
say "I'm sorry", you can't live with anyone. Marriage
is not for the proud. Marriage is for people who
choose to grow.
