Nice tits
When someone gives you advice, think about their motivations and how they work. Sometimes advice is good, but not for you.
Don't let yourself get stuck with obligations you don't enjoy doing.
Drugs fuck people up
Remember you're gonna die someday

Never ever, ever stick your dick in crazy. Crazy chicks may be a great fuck but trust me - you will pay dearly.

Not 40s yet but I’ll pass on some wisdom. I’m in my 30s and have been married nearly 10 years. This year I fucked a 26 year old girl at work. She’s a total slut. I mean anything goes. It’s the best sex I’ve ever had. She is totally cool and has kept the secret. Except now it’s moved further and we’ve caught feels for each other. Every day it gets harder and harder at home. I can’t just leave my wife because we have kids and a house and I’m not convinced the side chick is worth it but I really fucking like her. She makes me feel something I’ve never felt in my entire life with any woman I’ve been with.

TLDR

Don’t fuck around with other women when you’re married.

Oof, yeah this bit of advice is legit, leave your current wife if your gonna fuck around, if you can't be single first you will always be disappointed in the end, because the problem is you not the relationship.

You don't need to go to college to become a great programmer and make 300k a year. Just use the internet and consistency.

>Don't stick your dick in crazy, I've experienced that 3 times and they've all turned out to be a shitshow.
>Don't drink habitually and don't get comfortable with the idea of "Well I have the night off so I'll have a few or 12."
>Go to school. If you can't afford it go to trade school. If you can't afford that, get a job that will lead to a career as early as you can. >Trades are valuable especially in a weak economy. Such as : Welding, HVAC, plumbing, ironwork (if you're fit and in a developing area. I have sciatica and back problems from ironwork, so choose wisely).
>Get your gen ed associates in college at the very least. It's cheap and will open up any major you want to choose in higher academics.
>Don't masturbate every day. It really will increase your motivation and drive to get shit done.
>If you're in a social group right now; get out of it. From my experience the punk scene where I'm from is toxic as is every other "scene".
>Work out as often as you can. Lift heavy and often. Cardio should be 1/3 of the days you go and pray at the Church of Iron.
>Don't join the military unless you have absolutely nothing else.
>Get a hobby and get good at it.
>Walk tall and carry a big stick; be humble.
>Own firearms, but don't tell anyone unless it's shooting buddies.
>Love your wife/husband first, your state/county second, your country third.You owe your country nothing and any service you render towards it should be selfless and honorable.
>Eat healthy, you'll pay for it later.
>Take a goddamn multivitamin and stay away from aspartame.
>If you're under 18, forget about high school politics. If someone thinks you're alright in high school, they'll think the same after you graduate.
>Network, network, network. Get to know as many people as you can as early as you can. It can help reinforce hobbies, get you jobs, garner favors, and get you laid (hopefully not with crazies). That goes for fellas and sheelas.
>Realize your shit stinks.

She’s young new and exciting. Your wife was likely that as well at one point. Monogamy is hard

Dont listen to this fag. Put your dick in crazy, but make sure crazy dont know where you live and never date crazy.

Don't get your honey where you get your money.

>Dont stick your dick in crazy
>Conversely, don't stick your dick in an anthill
>Live within your means or not that much far above them
>Don't get married, and if you do at the very least choose someone you actually like
>Fuck bitches
>Get paid

Make good use of your youth, but do it in ways that will enrich your life later. Hiking, camping, sailing, mountain biking, whatever you like. Get outdoors in beautiful areas in your own country doing things that develop your mind and body. This is also a great way to meet worthwhile friends.

Don't get into drugs or excessive drinking.

Don't borrow money to get a liberal arts degree. Don't go to college unless you have a clear goal in mind and can pay for it. Look at the trades and engineering technology. If your parents want you do go to college, starting with a two year associates' in a skilled trade might be a good compromise.

Aspartame being bad for you is a meme. No one has ever died or developed adverse health effects from aspartame. The LD50 for humans caused issues in rats. Learn to use the internet.

You tell people to work out every day and also claim to have been an iron worker all your life which lead to you getting back problems. Well what is it? Are you in shape or are you a pussy that can't handle manual labour?

>Network, but also leave your social circles. Based on my mature experience of my local punk scene

>Go to college but also get a trade.

>Don't masturbate too much I read on Yea Forums it's bad for you

Your opinions are mostly stupid where they aren't contradictory. You're probably 25 at most and are largely parroting stupid opinions you heard on Yea Forums, or you really are 40 and you think you're hot shit because you managed to not fuck your life up as bad as your "shooting buddies"

Ask her out. Don't wait. Don't make excuses.

I know it could be embarrassing. Yeah, she'll probably say no. Sure, it's awkward as fuck. She's got a boyfriend, so what? (unless he's your bro...)

But, the more you do it, the better you get and eventually some will say yes. And then you get to play hide the salami.

Your 40 year old dick that can't get hot tang anymore will thank you later.

I agree with that except for the part where you say it doesn't matter if she has a girlfriend. I think it does matter. Asking other people to do immoral things is as bad doing it yourself.

But yeah you shouldn't let fear stop you from asking someone out. If they don't wanna go out with you then you have already been rejected. Asking them just reveals the answer. You should never be afraid of knowing the truth.

>>Own firearms, but don't tell anyone unless it's shooting buddies.

definitely this.

100% yes. However you gotta show persistence and you gotta be great at persuading job providers. After you get hired as a junior or intern, expect to be an apprentice. Doing small portions of bulk work, nothing important. You are not a programmer. You may occasionally do programming tasks, but most of the time you are just a code worker apprentice. Know your place and you'll easily survive on high cashflow.

i'd like to hear your advice then

>tfw being a Python & Java code monkey and barely making 11k/year after taxes

Conditions are way to harsh.

if you come in Italy you will make at least ~$14k

Anything less than that, and at best you're a slave to something/someone.

on the same token, chicks dig taken guys so he might not've gotten this young calve if he wasn't

yeet

never underestimate a crazy's autismo superpowers

If you want to marry, marry while you're young, but only it you find someone who wants to help you succeed in life and benefit from your ongoing success, not exploit your achievements, there is a difference.
It's easier to pair bond and change the things you don't like about your partner at 18 than 28, so you can be less picky than you think.

Being masculine matters, if you want to be respected like a man you need to act like it, and you can't fake it.
Discipline is sexy, that is why fit bodies, well read minds and impeccable grooming is attractive. Learn to be disciplined, and everything will follow.

Bisexual women who are obsessed with one man and love watching you bang other women exist, I married one. There is someone of equal degeneracy out there for you, you just have to learn how people work.

Drugs are great but only if you wait til you have the money, if you're living paycheck to paycheck there are more important things. Once you're moderately successful and happy in life drugs are much more fun and won't ruin your life.

Stay fit, it's literally the easiest thing you can do and will make your life better in every conceivable way. You don't have to be an adonis but if you can't run up some stairs or go for a hike you should be ashamed.

Nice cars are a waste of money if you're just going to drive a bitch home to your shitty apartment anyway.

Sure... 42 and successful.
- don’t marry a woman who loves cock
- never admit to anything
- don’t show anyone your hand. Keep your cards to your chest.
- be confident, even when you’re not
- never accept the first offer
- own a home, and learn how to improve it
- learn to control your anger
- stop putting poison shit in your body; it’s stupid
- have hobbies that you enjoy. Join a softball team, take up golf, go fishing, etc
- don’t have children before you’re ready.
- don’t let women convince you to do things you don’t want to
- pay yourself first... start saving NOW

I could go on, but I’m sure most have lost interest

31 here

+polygamous relationships are really hard, if you are going to try it, make sure its the right person. otherwise you will alienate your primary girl

+ Try to get a sense if you want kids or not, it might not be important when your 20, but when your 30, it is

+ Dont worry too much about uni/college, there is a path forward usually

+ Try to get a handle on your mental health early, it will become harder to recognize unhealthy habits the longer they persist

+dont worry so much about being the biggest guy in the gym, just be healthy. Make sure you do some strength exercise before you hit 30, for bone density

> Try to get a handle on your mental health early, it will become harder to recognize unhealthy habits the longer they persist

33 and wish I did this when I was way younger. If you have mental health issues don’t ignore them until you hit 30 like I did, that shit doesn’t go away. Also, different things work better for different people. Don’t expect to just take some meds or something and walk away, you may need to actually drag your fat ass outside to exercise or find a hobby that engages you. Find what works for you and don’t be afraid to drop what doesn’t.

Never ever EVER date a girl not willing to cook for you. Look for a woman that will take care of you. Looks are transitory, love is ethernal.

If some fucking bitch friendzones you, just ignore her and fucking move on. Don't waste time on others unwilling to spend it with you.

Is better to be alone that to be de n bad company. Never settle for less than what you deserve.

Even if you are still single by your 30's, men get crazy attractive again as they get closer to their 40s, take this as your last chance to get the best girl you can, don't waste it, it doesnt last forever.

I’m married with 2 kids, and do all the cooking.
I fucked up...
At least my wife is hot and rich

Yes totally, Cognitive behavioural therapy works for some, medication for others, standard talk therapy for others. meditation, music all that shit, it can help.

Just thought of another important one:

+ Don't live your life for someone else. do it because you want to or dont want to, dont live to please anyone, even if your fucking married. If you are married and you live to make your wife happy, you are a chump and she wont respect you

>She makes me feel something I’ve never felt in my entire life
Just remember she's getting something out of this too and what she's making you feel is not genuine and she supplies it for you, it's not just there to take. The supply would dry up if you told her you wanted to be with her. You really fucked up.

>I’m married with 2 kids, and do all the cooking.
DAMN
that is kinda sad, but at least she's hot and rich as you say

Don't stay together for the kids. You'll be miserable together and make your kids miserable.

Looking back, I should have gotten divorced LONG before I did but we stuck together for the kids. It lasted about 3 years before she cheated and we split. I did okay in the divorce but it was not a good split, it left me bitter and I missed out on a woman I worked with who married my best friend.

>on the same token, chicks dig taken guys so he might not've gotten this young calve if he wasn't
ever since my female colleages found out i'm with my gf for 8 years straight, that i cook and workout they flirt heavily with me.
one of them kept a conversation with me going for over 10 minutes and ever since i've heard rumors that her and i have a thing and some even got jealous of her. wtf.
some women really can't understand why someone isn't into them so they try harder to get your attention just to prove it to themselves.

>I could go on, but I’m sure most have lost interest
not really mate, everything you said makes sense and is good advice.

>some women really can't understand why someone isn't into them so they try harder to get your attention just to prove it to themselves.
I know this problem.too, but i found a cure. My wife and I are living in a dom/sub relationship. I am her sub and my dick is locked in chastity.One day at work the female coworker who flirted the most with me got a bit too much taken away during her flirt attempts and touched my trousers beneath the belly. She said it was on "accident", yeah of course!
She felt the cage and gave me an asking look, so I told her that my wife put me in chastity and that it is locked and only my wife has the keys. Since then none of them is flirting with me anymore, but also no one said a word to me about the fact that I am in chastity.
So just casually drop it in a convo or "accidentilly" flash your cage. Just let one of them know, or atleast make belive that you are locked away.

i'm not a sub though, mate. weird advice

holy shit lol

Don't have gay sex or even suck a dick, or even talk to gay guys online for their attention, or even post on Yea Forums for gay guy attention. You'll regret it and it's cheap and not worth going to hell. Especially don't have sodomy just to try it. That's like murdering once just to try it. Once you fuck a guy, you're always gay to God.

dude you should also wear butt plug, so no one could sick it in you. And when you need to take a shit, you call your wife and ask permission!

Don’t listen to what someone else’s ideal life is and assume that will make you happy.

It doesn't matter. It is just an easy way to get rid of them without having to deal with any nonsense. It is only important that they think, you are locked, no need for beeing actually locked.

No, me and my wife aren't interested in anything with scat/taking a shit etc.
But thanks for the advice.
Yeah, I know, right.
You should have seen my wifes reaction when I came home and told her. She knew about the flirting attempts, but she never before laughed that hard when I told her about it like on that day.

I can confirm this, my parents stayed together just because of me and it never really felt like a family, made me feel like a stranger to my dad and a burden for my mom and even today we rarely get in touch

> Keep fit. Don't be a fat slob - you'll only get stuck in mediocre relationships.
> When you're young, study something (MINT) that will earn you money. Yes Karen, your gender studies degree is worthless.
> Don't focus on relationships with women; pursue your own goals before becoming bogged down. A house and kids aren't all they're cracked up to be if your foundation isn't solid.
> In pursuing goals, make sacrifices to your future. Your dream job five years from now won't drop into your lap, you'll have to work for it and overcome obstacles.
> The greatest obstacle is you. Develop discipline, routines and plan ahead. Make lists of things to accomplish for each day and live by them - even if you only get a few items done, that'll be more than nothing.
> Spend money wisely. Don't overspend on frivolous activities or things - they don't last and the pleasure you derive is shortlived. A mortgage is not an investment when you're young and strapped for cash.
> When seeking a relationship, watch out for red flags. Don't rush in, there's plenty of fish and you need to be sure. Our system of law favors women and you don't want to be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life.
> You won't stay young for long. Everything is bound to deteriorate at one point; your health, your looks and your energy. So spend your youth wisely, or you'll look back and wonder where the years have gone.

Sorry to hear this.

We have joint custody and I do my best to be positive around them because I know that we fucked their life up for a while and made things difficult. They do seem to enjoy my time with them but it's difficult knowing that I'm THE positive influence in their lives because my ex is just so negative around them and everyone else.

Literally impossible

Hey thanks chief...
It’s all worked for me

It’s a pain, but it’s worth it.
Knowing how to cook isn’t a bad thing either...
Women love a man who’s good in the kitchen, and good in bed.
Prove me wrong

Is Code Academy any good or is it a meme?

Bitch pleaze. Isn't boring for you having imaginary friend?

I havent been "out of money" since I bought my first car. Worked a couple years, parents let me live at home for free. Had the intention of saving atleat 50% of every pay check. Saved up around 35k by the age of 20/21. Currently on my last year of uni. And fuck me am I thankful for having extra money around.

Yeah, your wife is really hot.

I mean... I'd fuck her.

>don't be a fag like me

Thanks user. Great advice. Does your wife know, that your browsing Yea Forums tho?

ok jordan peterson

Fuck this thread and fuck you, OP. Oldfag has nothing to do with age. GET THE FUCK OUT. ALL OF YOU.

Is it legit to ask a hooker to show me how to eat pussy(and maybe ass) or will she laugh at me? Only recently lost virginity and i want more so i plan to go to a hooker

Same

37 here. Some advices (some went good for me, others I did miss, sadly):
- keep your body fit: eat well, do not eat junk food, you can make your own pizza and burger if you like the taste
- work out, but say no to the body builder crap: eat well, piss on the mega biceps 3000 machines, but use iron until you can work with your body; after your weight is not enough, you can lift again. Focus on pull-ups and stuff like that.
- keep your joints safe, especially your knees and your spine
- drink enough water, never less than 2,5 liters a day. Your kidneys are not replaceable for long, and they don’t regenerate if something bad happens. Nephrons are for life.
- never ever skip a visit to the doctor if needed. Especially dentists, but the same goes for all areas.
- use your dick. If no partner, jerk it off. If something is not in use, it will develop backwards.
- practice martial arts, Jew kungfu and Gipsy kungfu doesn’t count. Leave kravmaga and capoeira for wingtsun or karate, in optimal case study both. Focus on hand and leg techniques, you’ll never carry a naginata, nor will be attacked with a spear.
- and get a gun, at least a gas revolver. Carry it lawfully, you need extra layer of protection, not a rubber stick to your asshole by a cop. Forget the boxer and other shit.
- opt for a girl with looks around 7/10. It is still decent, but less hassle with other wannabe alphas, also she’ll know her place and will value you.
- never think you don’t want to have children. You will (except you are mentally sick or genetically a dropout). Your biological code is to multiply, and trust me, nature knows her ways, that bitch. So around 20 start to play with the thoughts, and prepare. Life is short. You don’t want to shit in your pants with Alzheimer’s when your son graduates.
- learn, as others wrote, something practical, technical, which is a solid source of cash. Walls will be needed to built always, people need water, heating, furniture, you name it.

What a bunch of insipid crap

Try everything once, some things twice, but moderation is key to everything.

The worst thing about cocaine is the people you have to engage with if you go down that road. Just don't bother. Waste of time, money, and brain cells.

Learn how to cook. Its not hard. Start with early Jamie Oliver videos (Naked Chef).

Travel whenever you can, and get off the beaten path.

Respect your parents unless they are toxic (mine were radical Christians so I distanced myself from them pretty quick when I turned 18). In retrospect they are/were crazy but not evil, just misguided, they are good people.

Learn to appreciate finer things. Quality clothing, good wine, well made furniture, etc. Don't buy disposable. Save until you can buy something 'good' that will last. This goes especially for furniture.

Save as much $$$ as you can.

Don't dip your pen in the company ink.

Why are you so smart and wise for

Can't make a ho a housewife. Live ain't nothing but bitches and money.

Switch to pain pills or quit social recreational drugs altogether if you value employment

>Does your wife know, that your browsing Yea Forums tho?
Yes of course. Why wouldn't she know that?
Even when I was younger my ex girlfriends knew about it.
You know the key to a good relationship is to find someone with similar interests and someone who accepts you the way you are. Then you both can be the persons you want to be. Don't go for any compromises in romantic relations. A compromise always means that both loose. Not a good basis for a romantic relationship.

>Don't take advice from people on Yea Forums

Do whatever you feel is the right thing to do, life will go exactly as it goes. Don't worry about it

Continues.
- programming languages are following a trend. Waste of time. I am a Unix architect, and am pissed off regularly on the trends. Docker, kubernetes, my ass. Be a welder. This doesn’t mean you cannot train your mind.
- your mind needs training. Like your dick. Read books, it will improve you. Whatever your job is, no need to be a hillbilly from St.Fuckmyhorse.
- learn to cook
- having a threesome should be on your bucket list, but not on regular base. Funny, funny, but should be not a long term goal.
- adore your elders. It will be a deep shit when they leave, and you can never know when it will happen. They can sound weird or crappy, but those will be your dearest memories. Expect they are really shit, abusive or something like that. In that case leave and never turn back.
- You are responsible for your life and you alone. And there is no save point, no turning back. This is the most fucking important thing ever.
- in terms of friendships, go for quality instead of quantity. If you have more than 4-5 close friends, you don’t have any.
- build social networks. Having contacts, being able to provide support or connecting people in need will define your value.
- your value is weighted in respect. Don’t demand, earn it. And you can earn it with your sweat or your time, giving bits off from yourself, without price. You will get it back double, triple times.
- learn to sharpen your knives
- be merciful towards nature, you are a part of it. 5 meters is not far for your trash to the bin.

Welcome to the wonderful world of old

Less philosophically, if you can pry her out of his company, somebody else can pry her out of yours. Beware.

Somehow I don't think you'll get laughed at if you offer to pay; it's sorta what they do...

On the other hand, you might be surprised to find there exist women who would give you that lesson for free, or just a couple of drinks.

Don't get advice from slogans or people claiming to be oldfags they don't change with the times.
Don't be afraid to have your own opinion or make mistakes.

I know but im a late bloomer with 25, so im just accepting that and try to get some pussy for when i manage to find that on girl for me

I'll try to keep them brief. These are all from my own life experience (often from observing others fuck up):

1. Don't buy a house if you couldn't pay for it with cash. If you can't afford to buy it, you can't afford to maintain it. "but user, then I'll never own a house!". Yes. Exactly. Make wealthy people assume the risk of all the shit that can go wrong with large, expensive assets. When you're wealthy later in life, you can be a rent seeker, too.

2. Your kid isn't gay, he's a kid. No matter how effeminate and girly your boy is, he's a god damn child and you shouldn't project anything on to him. (For context, my sisters and mother thought I was gay my entire life. I've got the most stable heterosexual marriage out of all of us. But now my sister insists that her son Is gay, and has announced it to the world.)

3. Always be a step ahead of your employer. They will drop you as soon as you become unprofitable. Always be looking for a new opportunity. Wealthy people want you to believe you're worthless until proven otherwise. Know your worth and always demand fair value for your labor. You don't have to be a dick about it, just stake your claim and defend it. (This is easier said than done, but it's important.)

Don’t watch televised news shows or cable news networks. Or if you do, don’t let them trigger you into believing their bullshit. Same with most of the films they make. They have you believing that everyone is frothing at the mouth over some stupid political crap. When you go out into the world you see most people just trying to go about their lives and not be fucked with. Thats reality, not the psy-op bullshit from intelligence agencies masquerading as news .

You can't compare manual labor to lifting in a gym..

Continued:
4. Own up to big mistakes as quickly as you can. You're going to make them. People will forgive you. But it becomes harder and harder to forgive people who dig themselves into deeper and deeper holes. Accept the hurt of being wrong, learn from it, implement your new knowledge.

5. Eat right and do some exercise. You don't need to get ripped or whatever. To put it briefly, follow the Mediterranean diet, but replace most of the bread with vegetables and good fats. Put on a little bit of muscle around your shoulders and legs. It's that simple.

6. Avoid drinking too much caffeine. If you get into the habit of drinking tons every day, you'll forget what life is like when you're not on the bean. In my case, I became perpetually anxious and paranoid. Cutting it back to a minimal amount put me back in a rational and sane headspace. If you need a second pick-me-up after lunch, get some nicotine gum and chew HALF a piece. You will wake up, and the amount of nicotine is so small that you won't become addicted.

might makes right

I got a tip for you, take care of your mental health

The only advice an 40+ anonfag could give a young fellow on /b is to leave this board ASAP

I think you mean "retired" there guy

1. Learn to cook and take care of yourself
2. Have at least 1 hobby that's physical
3. Even if your'e a natural outcast and a loner, it's important to go through the social motions. I didn't really get this till I started going to funerals when I was older. Social involvement is a very big safety net.
4. Save some money
5. Deny yourself things.

I’m 39, starting a new career in production / staging. I’ve been a programmer, fabricator and weed grower. Here’s some shit I’ve learned.

1. The grass is always greener in another career. It’s work. Pick something interesting, get good and stay with it.
2. Politics exist in every field. You can play the game to rise but if you don’t know your shit you’ll not be respected. And chances are you’ll eventually be fired / outed for not knowing your shit. I’ve never fronted but I’ve seen people fall who have fronted.
3. 10% of everything you earn you should save. Fuck fancy shit, there’s time for that later.
4. Do NOT take on debt if you can avoid it. Don’t try to keep up with the Jones.
5. If you join a union or something that offers a pension do not rely on that, or social security, for retirement. Make your own savings. When bankruptcy is declared pensions are the first thing wiped off. They’re often mismanaged horribly if they’re public sector, look at CalPers in California. Make your own savings and start early.
6. I own two houses cus I live in the Bay Area and could afford them. Don’t stress on buying, renting is fine. But get to know your landlord and make sure they know you’re not a piece of shit. Pay your rent on time, fix what you’re capable of fixing and leave your landlord alone. That relationship will pay off.
8. Be kind to people but stand your ground. Don’t let your “friends” walk all over you. Do NOT let your woman walk all over you, ever! You don’t have to be a domineering asshole to her but no good woman respects a man who she can push around.
Whatever#. Marriage / monogamy is hard. I’ve been married only two years and my wife and I have fought twice, that includes when we were engaged. Most marriages are not this easy going. Monogamy takes work and sacrifice but it’s worth it. I share my life and passions with my best friend and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

You sound like a little faggot. I really hate pretentious twats like you.

* When a bill comes in the mail, send the payment out the next day. Oh, let me step back: Save money in your checking account and be able to pay your bills as they come in. If you let them slide until their due date, you will forget or payment won't arrive on time and you will pay fees/get notices/get cut off.

* It's well and good to forgive. But confirm the person is sorry and learned something from the experience. If they did not, cut your losses and leave because they are going to repeat that mistake again and again without remorse.

* The poly people are lying to you. There is no "fair and equitable", there is no "we're not jealous". Humans are possessive creatures and while we are cavalier when we are the ones doing the cheating, we're butthurt when we're on the receiving end.

* Get the balance right -- your caloric intake needs to be less than your caloric burn. There are people who can run 5 miles a day yet still gain weight because of what they eat. You can eat fast food every day and not gain weight if you've got a good metabolism, don't eat much else that day, and keep moving.

* If that person you are getting feelings or potentially getting something sparked up with for ghosts you, disses you, or otherwise intentionally makes you feel bad, just cut your losses as hard as that may seem. Consider it a fair warning about the future and you dodged a bullet. We're in an age where if you don't let go the moment the other person lets go (even if you had no idea this happened), you're considered a stalker or a harasser or worse... just say thank you and goodbye, and let them figure it out later they blew it.

I just want to say thanks to all the oldfags who graced this thread
thank you all

I wanna say thanks as well, these threads are always an interesting read

They leave you alone because no one wants a cuck

>Don't marry someone because you love them. Marry them because you genuinely believe you can spend the rest of your life with this person. Love ≠ long lasting compatibility

Think long term when/if considering marriage. I realize this should go without saying, but you need to decide what you want. You can marry domestic qualities or you can marry a professional woman, but you can't marry both. A corporate lawyer cannot simultaneously be a good mother. Just not enough time in the day. Both have their merits, but choose wisely.

Every relationship needs an alpha. Doesn't have to be you, but the relationship needs a decision maker. You cannot have democracy all the time. Particularly with a voting body of "2".
