Advice for Newlyweds
Relax with each other. Realize that marriage is a lifelong process and it takes time to enter the ‘real love’ phase where things get smoother.
Advice for Single Listeners
Examine the commitments of the person you are interested in. Have they kept a job for a long period of time? Did they graduate college? If they have a child, do they support them? If they have a pattern of keeping past commitments, they are more likely to be a committed partner.
