@courtneytspain: I could really talk about this for hours. I’m so so grateful for this journey! I was young and dumb and just a silly goose #divorcetok #marriageadvice
im saying this with love you could’ve said “i got married at 22” and ended the video there and it would’ve made the same amount of sense

It’s exhausting doing everything alone but it’s better than doing it with the wrong one

My ex used to get me flowers decently often. Always red roses. I hate red roses and have said it multiple times. It’s the little things!

My biggest advice for all young couples is, before you get married, try to have gone through a financial hardship, a major sickness or injury, a scenery change (we moved states) or some sort of other big life decision, like taking a job that will shift how you operate together. I think those things tested us well.

My mother-in-law told me that marriage is a business contract so unless I wanted to enter into business with him don’t get married. I think it is so important

As silly as it seems, I do think this needs to be talked about more. So many ppl push the narrative that love is all you need and that just isn’t reality

Tbh you will never fully know anybody. Never. The only person you know is yourself. You don’t know your mom, dad, brothers, sisters, cousins, best friends, boyfriends, husbands, etc

This is why we don’t do things because “that’s just what people do”. You don’t make decisions based on what your parents/peers/community would do. I think it’s crazy ppl really live this way. I questioned everything at a very young age.

I’d recommend going through the book “101 questions to ask before getting enagaged” by Norman Wright… you talk through so many things that you don’t even think about!! And if your partner is willing to sit and go through each and every question intentionally that’s a GREEN flag!

Regardless of how long it took, I’m so happy you decided to walk away. Women are getting more comfortable walking away and that makes me so happy. We deserve better !!

Before I got married someone said “this is the person you’re going to be with when you have to bury your parents. Is this the person you want to go through that grief with” (for me the answer was yesyeysyesyesyes)

22😳 we still trying to know ourselves at that age . I was 27 and it was still really hard. We about to hit 5 yrs and it’s way better now but that 1st yr was so hard.

My sister is in the same boat. I think marrying young is the worst thing a person can do. I think it’s so important to live your life independently as mush as you can. Babies and marriage will come.

Queen Cereal :
Marriage, to me, is a benefit for taxes and getting a house or renting. When I got married, nothing in our actual relationship changed because we’d known and lived with eachother for 6 years. We know everything about each other and I wish people would acknowledge that a successful relationship is, exactly as you stated, same ideals on finances, sex, kids, religion, in-laws, and general lifestyle.

My bf of 10 months got me this for Christmas. It was so so meaningful . he annotated it too, so it feels like he’s reading it with me since he added his thoughts.
