You know your marriage is about 50% likely to fail. Think optimistically. Knowing this, you can plan for your future. You can keep separate bank accounts and keep your belongings separate so that when the attorneys come in, there won't be anything to fight over. Don't have any kids. That's just more court battles. hmm. . . let's see. . . . You can avoid making major purchases, house, car, etc. Doing these things will make your inevitable divorce that much easier. You can pray and read the bible all you want. But if your not happy, your marriage will not succeed. Forget that. You know your marriage is about 50% likely to fail. Think optimistically.

Please be more optimistic about your future life. Certainly your marriage won't be a happy one if you go in with a negative attitude. The "disappointment hurts so don't try" approach will only leave you longing for more once you're married. I'm also getting married soon, and I know that married life will be difficult and trying, but I have high expectations. It's not disappointments that lead to divorce, it's lack of effort (among other things). It's possible to have high expectations for marriage if you prepare yourself and make an effort to realize what you're getting yourself (and your spouse) into. Finally, persevere. Don't tell me you HOPE you'll be with your fiance forever, but you KNOW you will. To Lindsey:

You can go into a marriage w/o having low expectations b/c it won't happen for you. First of all, Kiser said you were supposed to have a not-me syndrome.
