Don't let a pair of rose colored glasses blind you from a disrespectful man. When you're in luuuv, it can be hard to admit when you're not being treated the

way that you should. But if your man loves you and gives you the respect you deserve, don't let him go!

When you marry someone, you marry their entire support system. And if your man doesn't get along with your friends and family, you might want to rethink bringing him into

your inner circle for eternity. 

When a man loves a woman, he can't help but love on her. Some men aren't big on PDA, but your guy should definitely show you affection when you're alone.

You can tell a lot about a man by how he treats his mother. I'm not talking about finding yourself a mama's boy, but a man who respects his mom

is likely to respect you too.

If he wants to live on the east coast, and you're a west coast girl, or if he wants children and you don't, that might be a deal breaker. However,

if you're both on the same page about where you'll live, whether or not you'll have children, and what kind of lifestyle you want, forever can't start soon enough!

Your man doesn't have to like everything you like, and vice versa. But if you two have some shared interests, or he's at least interested in exploring your hobbies, that's

a great way to stay connected in a marriage.

One of the top reasons people get divorced is due to financial problems. If your guy is no good with money, either you've got to make up for it, or

bid him farewell.

While it's good to have a hardworking man, you don't want to marry a workaholic. As long as your dude tries to maintain a healthy work/life balance, you should feel

confident that he'll make time for you.

Laughter truly is the best medicine. And when the going gets tough in your marriage, you'll want someone who can make you laugh. Plus, laughing makes you feel good anytime!
