[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't marry lazy men.  Make sure they know how to take care of themselves; ask about their debt and spending habits.  You can't change a man.  Marry the man who is, not who you think he can be.   [/quote]

Wow, this is exactly what I tell my son.  I tell him don't marry a lazy woman.  Don't marry a woman who does not want to work. Make sure she has her own money and is not dependent on your money alone because you don't want that stressor in your life.  Find out about her debt and spending habits.  [b]Don't marry for looks but love [/b]and remember, you can't turn a stripper into a wife.  You can't change a woman.  Find out her relationship with her family and how she treats them.

I guess we are telling our children the same things, whether they are boys or girls.  [/quote]

I don't know if marrying for love logically flows from your advice.  I agree 100% with your advice but to suggest that one marry for love, so long as that love makes her own money and isn't lazy, maybe isn't the best way to present the topic.  love is just one factor in picking a spouse, marriage is a very serious decision, far more important than choosing your college and area of study or which job to take.  I wish that I could have married for love alone but that's the stuff that movies and books are about, this is the real world.  It also suggests that there is only one true love out there, I don't know about you but I've had about 5-6 true loves in my life and but for a happy marriage of 11years would have likely found a few more.
