 Do not count on "Love is Blind".

You need to plan for your/family's future. If you put your plans on hold for her, how many times and how often will you need to do this?

Lots of hard questions you are going to have to ask yourself. Now is the time to find out the direction you are going in and if she is the one that is going to travel that path with you.

Love is something you develope over your life together. The thing that brings 2 people together most often is not the love that will keep you together.

I knew from the start that my wife and I would be together forever. Staying together for 43 years took a lot of work. She did most of the work in the begining. She did not see my vision for how I was going to make a living. But she gave me the room to do it. I could not have let her tell me how I was going to earn money.
