637-How to Find an Excellent Wife: The Decision
One of the most fundamental decisions you can make in life is to marry or not to marry. If you marry, your life, your budget, and your career will look dramatically different than a peer who remains unmarried.
Marriage can be one of the biggest blessings to your life, resulting in greater happiness, better health, a higher income, and more wealth.
Marriage can also be one of the greatest curses you can experience and it can devastate your emotional state, your physical health, your career, and your wealth.
So, you need to choose wisely.
In Part 1of this series, I discussed various ways that you can prepare yourself to be attractive to an excellent wife.
In today's show, I do my best to give you an honest assessment of the risks involved so you can choose whether you desire to marry or to remain unmarried.
I hope it's thought-provoking.
