Marriage is a very risky investment.

First, think about what you use to make the investment? 

Second, think about what do you base on when you make such investment?

Finally, think about how many factors may influence the “profitability” of the investment?

So how can marriage be not risky? You invest YOURSELF into it; you dated your would-be “significant other” for like 3 or 4 years and you use that as the most important reference which usually is the most romantic and unrepresentative period of the whole relationship; and finally, there will be tons of things that may affect the marriage and those best known ones are financial crisis, “men’s nature” and time.

 And most tragically, what make people make such investments? Hormone and LOVE!!! What’s hormone? Something makes people horny. What’s LOVE then? LOVE is some amazing thing that can make people extremely brave, optimistic and illogical.

So here are a couple of measures that I think people could take to make marriage a bit safer:

1.       Date your future “significant other” long enough. I used to believe that dating someone for a long period is not healthy if it finally comes to marriage because nothing is gonna be fresh anymore and honeymoon will no longer be like honeymoon, no to mention having consummation. But now is seems to be more like a bull-shit theory to me kz if you really love ur significant other, it doesn’t matter how long you two had dated, if love is still there and holding strongly, nothing should seem old or not fresh.

2.       Know what kind of person your significant other kz you plan to spend the rest of your life with her/him.  If there’s something about her/him that you can not stand (especially if he/she is LAZY/ignorant/having an addictive personality, kz these kinds of people can get into financial crisis quite easily), you better figure that out before you two get married. And DO NOT force yourself or even change yourself to accommodate her/him.  DO NOT sacrifice yourself kz it’s not worth it and it WILL come back. You better find a way to accept this her/him truly and completely. By saying “completely” I mean 100 percent, by saying “truly”… I mean “TRULY”…!!!

3.       Not only do you need to accept your significant other, but also need to be similar to her/him.  If there are not enough common things that you two share, then it will be a pain in the ass once you get married. IT WILL BE, TRUST ME.

4.       Be sexy. We call ourselves “advanced/superior/smartest animals” and that’s exactly why we are more easily dominated by our lust than dog/cats/donkey/tiger etc.  So take good care of yourself once you get married and be a sexy wife/husband. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with pleasing your significant other visually& sexually.

In order to make my point even more clear and not to digress, let’s see how doing these things helps to make marriage a less risky investment. The reason behind it is quite simple and straightforward --- the more profitable the “investment” looks, the more the couple are willing to be involved in such “investment”. In another word, the more the couple believes that they will constantly get abundant happiness out of this marriage, the more they are willing to devote to the commitment. Therefore doing those four things simply makes the whole “investment” look more assured and profitable and at the same time, eliminates as many undesirable factors as possible. Thus, once the stability of the investment is created, a virtuous circle is pretty much established.
