Probably the most succinctly-written guide to the institution of marriage I have seen. No, I don't buy 100% of the advice but a significant chunk of it makes sense and are worth thinking about (and the author is not pushy about his points -- just throwing them out there and you have to do the hard work of thinking what works for you). However, the points written here probably apply to a vast majority of people who are educated, monogamously-oriented, marriage or long-term relationship-inclined and would rather only do it once, and interested in upwards mobility and growth. To that crowd I'd say give it a spin.

- This is a really, really, really good. In essence: treat marriage/dates like a business. Sure, romantic spark is important, but more important is compatibility. At the end of the day, the initial spark of romanticism fades away. Two people at the end of the day stay married because they have the same goal together

- I highlighted most of the points I want to remember going forward. But another important note is: see things in a practical way. Yes, you could truly fall for somebody. But if that person has a flaw (health defects, broken childhood that can't be fixed), you're not a charity and you need to move on.

Love the humor and practical insight. Not written as a mentor but as a fellow struggle ward.
