Inspired by a text messaging conversation with Nate Phish, Andy, DevoManiac1 and AtomicZ on the HUB I was compelled to post this. Nate is a young lad...and unaware of the pitfalls that marriage may bring. A few of us on the HUB wanted to give him some guidelines but also wanted him to benefit from the wisdom of the elders on the NWO. Here is what I/we came up with: (a lot of these came off other users on the HUB)

(1) Marry a spouse who has music in common with you
(2) Cooks
(3) Is sexually progressive
(4)Mute
(5) likes the UK
(6) listens
(7) likes pets
(8) isn't a vegetarian
(9) No sisters
(10) Listens to Howard Stern
(11) Doesn't mess up your server or LAN!
(12) Isn't catholic or quaker!
(13)Likes Porn

Please note...this list was mostly developed by males...we of course welcome a female prospective in order to best advise our teenage lovestruck youth as to the best path to bliss!

"...the pitfalls of marriage..." argh, you guys are too funny.

Marriage is awesome, but here's what I think is the secret:
WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE OLDER. I got married at 29. I always knew I would wait until I got older, and it is great advice. Anytime in

Okay, I don't want this to go the wrong way. I'm not even THINKING about getting married yet, I was simply talking about my girlfriend in the hub last night when I was bombarded by MULTIPLE users telling me to never get married. :P

We then decided she

Good topic!

I married at a young age (22) back in 1990, and KYYX is right. You MUST be best friends with each other or it will eventually blow apart. My wife is my best friend, and we can talk about everything with each other, and it's nice to know tha

That woman doesn't exist for me[xx(] I've never met her, but even before I make an attempt I have to assume she is already taken. She is probably the wife or girlfriend of one of youse[:I]

Personally, I don't believe in the idea of "opposites attract"

I read all the entries for this topic and I agree, even though I am on the other side of things. I am very recently divorced, and I did the opposite of many of the things listed. We weren't best friends, we didn't accept each other for who we really wer

Didn't Ferris Gump or someone say "Wife is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get" ...until you take the bite, but then it's too late isn't it?!

I'm not saying I am the sharpest knife in the drawer but....

1) variety is the spice of life, if SO is open (you should be too).
2) That's only a bonus.
3) aah!!!
4) Don't you mean, expresses her opinions, and listens yours.
5) maybe likes you more
