Myth #1: You really should live together before you get married.
I don’t believe this but I did test the waters to see if we were sexually compatable.
Myth #2: Don’t get hitched until you can afford it.
If you want to be married you will compromise the means(money).
Myth #3: Marriage is like fruit. Once it’s rotten, it can’t get ripe again.
stupid statement.
Myth #4: Women have the most to gain from marriage.
No, I think that a married couple both have something to gain by marriage. Usually better health and a discount on auto insurance rates.
Myth #5: Your kids actively want you to remarry after divorce.
Some kids do think so because it can take the attention off of them, but sons who have been told they are the man of the house have the most to lose by a step daddy.( I have never told my son that he was the man of the house because I was not married nor dating),
