lol The sooner you figure that out the smoother the marriage goes.......... : )

:)Painting is the only thing I'd even try to tackle, but my wife and I started painting our house a couple years ago and after about two days of work, realized that outsourcing was better for our marriage

Typically speaking, those properties that were acquired prior to marriage are not considered to be "marital property", or subject to control by both husband and wife.

@Padric LynchI think you missed the point of my marriage counselling brother.

What some people call "marriage" others might call "sex for comps."

Also make sure you have clear definition how to exit one of the partners in case of an event (death, divorce, relocation, marriage, disability, etc.). 

But I've seen it happen frequently.I have personally listened to about a dozen self-serving explanation of why a guy who's been married for years cheated on his wife and damaged his marriage.

She had her tourist visa at that time and was planning to get her student visa to study, but when they saw we were engaged they told us that we'd have to go through the entire process for a marriage visa after we got married.... average waiting time — 14 months.

Partnership is likes marriage and it is very difficult to find the right match.
