About this episode
“This week at Vons and Albertsons, USDA Choice Tri-Tip Rost untrimmed are 599 per pound, limit 4 roasts with membership wear applicable, and medium-ripe Hassovicados are 99 cents each, with membership wear applicable.”From the transcript
Before you say, “I do,” take the time to ask whether love alone is enough to build a healthy, lasting marriage. In this video, we explore essential marriage advice for anyone considering marriage, including self-awareness, personal growth, emotional maturity, relationship compatibility, communication, finances, family boundaries, conflict resolution, independence, premarital counselling, and the red flags you should never ignore. Whether you’re engaged, dating with marriage in mind, working on yourself, or simply beginning your self-help and personal development journey, this message will encourage you to slow down, get aligned with your values, understand what you truly need in a life partner, and recognize the difference between chemistry, potential, and genuine compatibility. A strong relationship begins with knowing yourself, choosing from clarity rather than pressure or fear, and asking one powerful question before marriage: If this person remained exactly who they are today, would I still choose them 20 years from now? Watch Before You Say “I Do” for practical relationship advice, personal growth insights, and guidance for creating a more conscious, healthy, aligned, and lasting partnership.

Because the world is changing rapidly, people are changing rapidly. There's a lot to consider nowadays. Love matters, yes. But marriage, marriage repeatedly puts character, judgment, communication, money habits, family dynamics, and resilience to the test. Trust and believe that. Know yourself before choosing a spouse. Understand your values, your boundaries, your weaknesses, expectations, financial habits, ambitions, and what you need to feel respected. It's difficult to evaluate compatibility when you haven't decided what matters to you. Marriage character, not potential. Pay attention to who the person consistently is now, not who you believe they could become. Kindness, honesty, accountability, self-control,
reliability, generosity, and integrity become increasingly important over time. Watch how they behave when things don't go their way, dating during good time.

This tells you something. Disappointment tells you much more. Notice how they handle anger, criticism, stress, embarrassment, financial pressure, jealousy, illness, inconvenience, and being told no. Have the uncomfortable conversations before the wedding. Discuss money and debt. Children,
parenting, sex and intimacy, religion or spirituality, careers, household responsibilities, where you'll live, caring for aging parents, friendships, privacy, fidelity, substance use, health, retirement, and expectations concerning extended family. Do not assume agreement because you haven't argued about something yet. Talk specifically about money. Know each other's income, debts, credit obligations, savings, spending patterns, and financial goals. Decide how accounts, bills, major purchases, saving, investing, and financial decisions will work. Both people should know how the household and finances operate. Financial secrecy is a serious warning sign. Pay attention to their family, but don't assume they'll become their family.
What matters is whether they recognize unhealthy patterns and can establish appropriate boundaries. Okay? I suppose who cannot say no to a parent might eventually expect you to live with that parent's influence too. Learn how you fight. Healthy couples disagree. The important distinction is how.

Humiliation, intimidation, threats, manipulation, prolonged punishment, name calling and deliberate cruelty should not be normalized as that's just how we argue. No. You should both be
able to apologize, repair and change behavior. Don't confuse chemistry with compatibility. Attraction can be extraordinary while the relationship is self is unsustainable. Ask yourself, can I make an ordinary Tuesday afternoon life with this person? Marriage contains far more Tuesdays than honeymoon. Don't marry because of pressure, age, pregnancy, loneliness, family expectations, religion, fear of starting over, or we've already been together for eight years are not sufficient reasons to marry. Time invested does not obligate you to invest the rest of your life. Maintain some independence. Marriage should create partnership without erasing individuality. Keep friendships, interests, compatibility and the
ability to function independently. This isn't for everyone, okay? Consider premarital counseling even when nothing is wrong. It can expose assumptions you didn't realize you had and give you tools before problems happen. Counseling is not merely for relationships and trouble. Take red flag seriously before marriage. Repeated lying, uncontrolled rage, chronic irresponsibility, financial deception, untreated addiction, violence, extreme jealous.

See isolation from friends or family and refusal to accept responsibility do not improve because vows were exchanged. And one question deserves considerable thought before saying yes. If this person remained who they are today for the next 20 years, would I still choose them? Not their earning potential, not the person you hope they'll become, them as they are.
A strong marriage is not two people who never disappoint one another. It's two people who can tell the truth remain respectful during difficult periods, repair damage, adapt as life changes, and continue choosing the good of the partnership without sacrificing themselves in the process. Okay. All right guys, before I go, I'd like to let you all know that I'll be awake away for a couple of weeks.
