Marriage is a blessing for us, and we were intentional about going to pre marital counseling and going through FPU beforehand! We cannot tell you how much those both immensely helped us! Thank you for who you are and all you do, Dave! You have inspired us to make a channel with videos on finances too! God Bless!

[NamgyelRangdolPala]

Have a financial plan. Set strong boundaries and have the same financial values.

This is the best marriage advice video I’ve listen to so far. I’ve already heard three that were not helpful. Thank you for getting to the point

Prenups don't work, 50% of people get divorced, and women initiate between 70% and 90% of divorces.
Great tips from Dave. Physical intimacy can cause people to ignore the important questions before marriage.
However, if you have money, you need to consider establishing a trust.

3rd thing Dave mentioned about in laws, are so true, few of my friends filed for divorce because of it. So better be prepared because you’re not marrying them, you most likely marry their extended family too depending how close he and she is to them.

Marriage Counseling is a plus. Get a ton of money and don't spend it unless you have too. You will live a long happy life.

It's very sad to read some of these comments. 😔😥

[ALXSSA]

Why are people so against marriage in the comments? 😑 If you truly love someone and you want to spend the rest of your life with them, why are you worried about money, divorce and losing assets? Just love the person and try to live happily. Geesh. People focus of the wrong things, if it's that serious get a prenup.

[sgcustodio]

As always great advice. Covering the fundamentals of marriage

[twopassionsfishing]

A successful marriage is when you both come into a agreement with Gods word ! Believe three things that hold a marriage together is this love, respect, forgiveness and both born again of the Holy Spirit when both encounter and walk in this nothing will tear them apart, God is the bond to the marriage, when God is first in the marriage the rest will be solved sensible with wisdom WOW WE GOT LONGS WAYS TO GO THOUGHT THIS GROWING AS CHRISTIAN had limits 😀

As a fellow person from Shreveport, good luck! Also Dave forgot to mention be in agreement to move to Bossier! Lol

[danielbustos]

Putting a marriage video on Christmas Day. You know what’s going down today haha

[Anthony-zwqb]

We combined everything and don’t regret it. Married 5yrs

[luckylib]

I needed this because im bgetting married in september

[TheRenard]

For 13 years, I've been planning to walk down the aisle with my lover. My big day has yet to happen. It's now or never, I want this. The Mr and Mrs days will arrive someday. When i make more money, have a better job, know what love is, then I'll go from there! So I'm staying with that choice!

[davez]

I wouldn’t get get married these days because the divorce rate is way to high, it’s way to risky. No legally binding contracts with the government for me when it pertains to marriage .

[MrSmallANDLoud]

Prenup. That’s the only step that matters.

[rickeyslake]

If you are a man with no money or ambitions marriage is for you..but if you have goals and ambitions, don't do it. You will be ruined. I've heard so many stories of guys losing everything in a divorce. One guy I know of lost his house, kids, and all of his money, and afterwards his ex wife had another guy living in the same house she took from him..pfft no thank you.

[paladintactical]

Holla, 'We want Prenup!'...jk you'll still get taken to the cleaners by the Divorce court!

[kevinb]

Best way to prepare for a marriage is to break off the engagement!!!
