Get an education, and when you know you are the right couple for the right reason take your time and get married. Remember, don't expect a man to change, and don't expect the woman to do everything around the house and have the energy for romance. Share the duties and get adequate rest. If you intend to have children, realize that your spontaneity goes the minute the child is born. Make plans to return or not, to work, before the baby is born. If your can pay for quality child care, and still bring home a fair wage, then you may want to try to return to work, for it is hard to get back at your current level and position if you drop from the work force. Realize that you two need to make time for each other during the weekend, so plan to go out one night on the weekend to rekindle what brought you together. Share your duties at home, and enjoy your children. They are tremendous at every age, and they grow up fast!
