Goodbye to most of the hobbies and habits you have always liked to do.

You have new hobbies now or you are in constant battles.

There's a better chance of winning a 15 team parlay.

That's only true for people who believe it. Self-fulfilling prophecy and all.

Ultimately, it depends on how much shit you are willing to tolerate-

You will change to her liking, or forever pay hell because you won't-

Your call....

It has to be with a woman you TRULY enjoy spending a GREAT DEAL of time with.

The majority of her character must be something you admire.

Combo that with true beauty and falling in love and staying married will be a cinch.

Admittedly, because that combo is so desirable, many of these woman have already been taken.

But some are still out there and are continually growing into that mold.

A life-time of happiness?

More ups than downs, sure, but a life-time of happiness? The chances are somewhere between slim and none.

Although I suppose if both spouses were on a permanent heroine drip…

Or you can just not marry a woman who is bat-shit crazy and only happy if she gets what she wants at every single second of every day. Find a reasonable, smart, non-spoiled woman and you will be a happy man.
