Some Advice For The Man On My Train Reading The Book “Preparing For Marriage”
First things first, congratulations! When I first nosily glanced over at your book, I only caught a glimpse of the title and completely thought that it read “Repairing Our Marriage”, so I was absolutely thrilled to see that it actually said “Preparing For Marriage”, a MUCH better thing to be reading than the alternative.
Good for you, king! When’s the big day? I know that I won’t be in attendance at the wedding, but I wanted to give you some unsolicited advice as my wedding gift for you and your soon-to-be spouse.
And I know what you’re thinking, what qualifies you to give marital advice, having never been married? Well, you’re right; I’ve never been married, but lack of experience has never stopped me from giving advice to people in the past, so why not take a whack at this, too.
First things first, big guy, let’s get you a new watch; the one that you’re wearing is swimming on you like a Hermés bracelet on a sorority girl.
Great, now that that’s taken care of, let’s talk about some other big pieces of advice that I believe will prepare you for healthy marriage.
Be a good listener.
Don’t be afraid to try new things!
Be thoughtful.
Never say no to dessert!
The truth is, pal, that I think you’re going to be a fantastic spouse because, above all else, I imagine that in order to be in a successful marriage, you have to put in effort. And the fact that you’re sitting in this disgustingly hot train after working 10 hours at, based on the look of you, some boring finance job, reading a book about Preparing For Marriage indicates, to me at least, that you’ll do what it takes in order to make your partner happy.
Best of luck, stranger!
