The vast majority of people are not candidates for marriage. There are, however, a few who can pull it off.

A few years ago Mike Tyson’s 2nd (3rd?) wife was not pursuing the enormous alimony payments she received as a result of their divorce, because she knew how many financial problems he had (and still has).
Of course, this is the Harvard-educated Dr. wife, so she may actually have a good job and a conscience. IIRC she was accepting much smaller payments and not suing for the rest.

Nobody goes into marriage thinking they’re going to get a divorce at some point, they happen to some of the best of us. I have to believe that most people who make the decision to get married believe their partnet to be the one. Events and circumstances over the course of their marriage may change this. However, even when you have a pre-nup, make sure it is well-written:
Now he won’t have the money to fix the gap in his teeth.

You must be used to being unloved.
What’s love got to do with marriage?
They go together like a horse and carriage.
HAHA. That was funny about a century ago.

While this is very true you have to keep in mind that both people have to have the same commitment. If your spouse isn’t as commited to your marriage as you are no amount of commitment on your part is going to change things.
