I'm thrilled at the resurgance of young men pursuing marriage and/or taking marriage more seriously.
But don't be deceived: marriage is hard. Yes, it is good, and holy, and can come with innumerable blessings. But don't romanticize it (so to speak); when two sinners vow to live their lives in such close proximity, there's nowhere to hide. It takes humility, it takes sacrifice, it takes forgiving and being forgiven.
Go for it--but be ready. There's a reason for the vow--and not the soy-boy, fiat, non-committal "for as long as love shall last" hogwash--it's "until death parts us."
Amen brother
Everyone should read the book of Proverbs carefully in general, but specifically before finding a wife.

AMEN. It's a gold mine of potentially life-saving wisdom--especially for young men.

When I came back to the faith and read Proverbs again, I thought, 'Wow, I could have saved myself a lot of trouble if I had paid attention when I read this as a kid!' 😂
