Congrats and good luck.
Thx breh1. You already know this, but keep God first in all you do.
2. It may seem weird at first, but surround yourself with married couples at least 5 to 10 years older than you, maybe even hang around older married black men and women in their 50's - 60"s who have weathered the storms of what a lot marriages go through.
3. STAY OUT OF DEBT AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT. STATISTICS HAVE SHOWN THAT THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF DIVORCE OTHER THAN THE DEATH OF A CHILD IS DEBT. #DEBTFREESQUAD
4. Communicate about your sexual needs and desires, don't assume what you think will satisfy your spouse. ALSO DO NOT BASE YOUR MARRIAGE ON SEX.
5. NYKKA DIDN'T YOU JUST HEAR ME SAY STAY OUT OF DEBT!!!
6. Do not spend more than 10K on your entire wedding including her dress, and her wedding ring. KEEP IN MIND, UNLESS HER DAD PAYING FOR THAT SHIII, THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY, AND RECEPTION IS ABOUT YA'LL ENTERTAINING YOUR GUESTS, DON'T GIVE THEM GREEDY HUNGRY NEGROES, AND NEGRESSES MORE THAN THEY CAN EAT CAUSE YOU GONE BE LEFT TO PAY INTEREST ON THAT BILL.
7. Always set aside time through the week to manage your household bills and budget. Plan for goals to achieve together every month.
8. ON YOUR WEDDING NIGHT EAT HER COOTA BOX LIKE A POPEYES TWO PIECE SNACK WITH EXTRA BUTTER ON THE BISCUITS
Happily married to a black queen, oh yea, and she high yella!!! #teamlightskin
Living habits are pretty crucial though. Those 6 years might not cover everythingThey are 6 years in... I don't think a "trial" live together is necessary
1. Throwaway phone
2. POF acct (outta state zip)
3. Undisclosed line of credit
4. Flexible work schedule
5. Hobby/activity (shooting pool/basketball) (plausible deniability)
Be vigilant
don't do it...
Reconsider....

This is BIG. I used to be on that fairy tale "na you just stay home and take care of our kids and our home bae" steez. But I done seen A LOT of my partnas get burned BAD by that shyt when things fall apart and end up in court. If your exwife got 0 income, that judge will show you no mercy.Do whatever works for you....don't have her stop working tho, that'll bite you in the ass
THIS is great advice. Have all these crucial discussions BEFORE so that everybody on the same page.Anyways, make sure you plan more for the marriage than the wedding.
Kids?...How many?
Frequency of sex? (don't plan for sex lol but make sure you both are good with how much you are having)
PUT YOUR MONEY TOGETHER!!! Each get a checking and have a joint savings
Lifestyle? City or Burbs? Single family or condo
Business plans that involve each other or other people?
Plan on taking care of elderly in-laws down the road.
Good luck and congrats!!!
