The first lawyer is really smart, well spoken, tv type of person. I could spend an hour listening to hem. He should start his own YouTube channel
Reinforced by his looks too.
I agree
He is really smart, well spoken and easy to understand. He’s amazing
He was on Steve Harvey show
I have the same sentiment lol.
His my favourite , next is the bald guy.
A wise man once told me, “Love is grand, but divorce, is a 100 grand.”
married is for two matured minded peoples
@c 560630 I’ll be sure to sign a prenup.
A wise man once told me, “Forgiveness is divine but never pay full price for late pizza”.
Jokes aside, they’re dishing out solid, reasonable advice.
So in a nutshell whoever U plan to marry is going to be the same person after the marriage…
@J Williams somebody’s gotta do this job though…
I am saving this vid
Yea, the best thing to do before marriage is sign a thick PRE-NUP ..hands down
Don’t only judge a potential husband/wife by how they treat you. Look just as much at how they treat others. A few years down the line when the honeymoon period is over they are likely to treat you the same way.
Well said.
off, i should break up with my boyfriend then
As a spouse you are automatically being treated differently than all others so your theory don’t hold water right off the bat
told family members this. they had to learn the hard way. sigh.
I feel like marriage is like a tattoo, it used to be a life long commitment, but now we have multiple procedures available for tattoo removal, so people think they can just do that if they get tired of it, same with divorce. The thing is though, it’s going to be time consuming, expensive and painful lol and may forever leave a mark
There you go. A woman understands.
the lottery part is so on point.
That’s a very beautiful analogy
Marriage is like a Tornado: “In the beginning there’s a lot of blowing and sucking, then you lose your house”.
Hahahahaha
My parents have been married for 60 years. Their example was respect, mutual interests, similar goals, a good sense of humor, respect, commitment, intelligence, wisdom, and above all, respect.

Life is hard; without the values that I stated above no marriage can survive. What I described is my observation of 50 years. The challenges that we face as human beings are supposed to be overcome or you give up, perish and die. Thus necessity requires you to develop the skills that will increase your chances of success. And that’s the list above. There are others but they were unique to my parent’s circumstances, culture and history.
You are lucky!
@D. Suarez Dude you’re exactly right but, the problem is finding love with all those traits is so rare that it almost feels impossible, thus, him exaggerating as if it’s impossible. Totally not impossible but very hard to find.
Wow !!!!
I’m a marriage therapist and completely agree with what they said. It’s about who the people are and what the goals are that can make something successful.
Yeah your right truly right
This needs to be featured in women’s magazines much, much more, instead of the wedding dresses, cakes and rings. Is it romantic? No. But it could save many marriages.
Yes, probably could save a lot of marriages and avoiding bridezillas mentality. However, the main purpose of those magazines is advertising.
yeah, SO TRUE
When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
She once showed me who she was, and I was reluctant to believe someone for the previous rejections I encountered. It’s still painful and I regret it everytime. Now I wish you told this to me before all of this.
When you’re dating someone (too late for people married), watch how they treat others….waiters and waitresses at a restaurant is a sure sign of how they truly are.
… and run
This should be the top comment.
Yep
I married someone I wanted growing up. Someone who has a plan, is supportive and loving, pushes me to be better, treats his parents and friends with respect as well as not friends with shady people, a GOOD Father, there is more. Also, I realized if I wanted that I needed to be that so I worked on myself. He’s more than I asked for and appreciate him Soo much I also realized I’m glad he is someone who is willing to sit down and talk about serious things and how we as a couple can resolve it.
“…if I wanted that I needed to be that so I worked on myself.”
That’s such a great piece of advice so many people forget…and congratulations!
So what did you bring to the table?
@Rishi Parashar freak lmao
Marriage is a legal contract, take it seriously. Also, never sign a contact with someone who is dishonest. Knowing his/her finance is the most important thing before getting married.
Exactly! It’s a contract to be with a person who can turn on you at any moment.
@343 Foxden that part
If you wouldn’t want that person as a roommate, don’t marry them. This one thing would eliminate a fair number of divorces.
Or a friend…
Very true
@Charlie Dallachie I sleep in different bed with my husband but we still make love it’s juts that he uses a machine too slept and I don’t like that.
what if I’m not a roommate type person
Marriage is like saying “I love you soo much, I wanna get the gorvenment involved”
@Jared Degen Your comment is foolish to me. If marriage was never legally binding, people could just constantly lie about their “relationship status”, abandon their families, and do whatever when it comes to anything pertaining to family. Also, a marriage certificate is a public record so people can know if the person they are dating is in another relationship or not, whereas if it didn’t exist, people would have no way to truly know. Strong families with the same last name wouldn’t even exist.. It’s really not that complicated to understand. The “lgbtq” community were fighting for a right to get married for a reason, even though I don’t agree with them.
Thats why god invented grindr
ryan george
yeah bc the government grants you certain rights and legal protection..you wish you’d have gotten the government involved when your significant other dies unexpectedly and you get jack squat or they’re in the hospital and they legally can’t tell you anything and you have no say in medical decisions etc.
I got married later and looked for a man that has the qualities to be a good husband, leader and father. Romance is important but so is being practical. Today I’m happily married.
Well, that’s what’s important at the end. Competent. Industrious men and women are good husbands/wives, leaders and supporters! So good for you!
@Stanley Johnson No, you just didn’t understand the implicit. She didn’t let attraction or romance lead her choice in partner, plenty of people do that.
@Nikhil 7 It’s not all that obvious, most people date whoever they’re attracted to sexually or romantically without considering practicalities for a long relationship
“Doing a prenup forces couples to talk about finances before they get married”. Great advice because most couples don’t talk about money before getting married. This should include a financial disclosure to reveal any and all hidden debt. And that includes student loans and credit card debt.
Shoot the main thing I’ll be talking about when I get married is money!
What are the names of the lawyers?
or might as well just live in without getting married.
@Missan Trafalgar Some people attach a lot of emotion to money. My husband is like that. In contrast, I’m very practical and can discuss finances completely dispassionately. It’s just facts and figures to me. But with him, he’s either angry and shouting about it or he shuts down and doesn’t speak about it at all – completely evasive. It’s very frustrating. I want to just discuss in a factual way whether we can afford that new TV or an $700k house, or whatever. But he just blows up like it’s a slight on his manhood or dashing his dreams or something. And when I say, in factual terms, this is what it will cost, and this is our income and existing expenses, how are we going to afford it? He has no answer, but adamantly insists on plunging ahead anyway. Then when things go pear-shaped I’m the one left doing clean-up, liquidating my own assets, securing and paying off loans, etc. while he goes back to evasive no discussion mode again.
everyone needs to watch this..” people don’t change MUCH after marriage”
Woman want men to change after marriage, men want woman to stay the same…
@sabina wickforsen idk what’s with people and making them change, it hard to change someone it’s easier to change what’s in you
@Coca Black Often the people who are willing to change themselves are well aware of their own issues. The ones who won’t change are the ones who think they are perfect the way that they are. Which is absolute bollocks. We are all imperfect and we all learn to become better, if your significant other doesn’t have that growth mindset then don’t marry that person. It’s an absolute waste of time and you’ll lose everything because if they are selfish for their own benefits then they will be selfish when it comes to yours
The day we got married was definitely the happiest day of my life…still married and in love 20 years later….
I hope he feels the same way lol
“she’s never yours, it’s just your turn”
I feel marriage life was easier back then when everyone had traditional value.
Come back when it’s 40 years or 60 years.
You won the lottery
Men, do not hesitate for one moment to put a restraining order against your female partner if you feel your safety and health is in jeopardy. Placing a permanent restraining order on my female partner was absolutely the wisest protective move of my adult lifetime. My only regret is not doing it years earlier. Men, be safe!
@Nikhil 7 …….Yup…… I make my mother mow her own grass now.
I don’t think it exists in india. So I spread awareness about narcissism.
good men is always safe.
@ManThePlow well done
@Robert Allen Carl good men are always safe in their DREAMS. Lol
