It's Cheaper To Keep Her

When I heard people use the expression "it's cheaper to keep her" as a young girl, I never understood what it meant. Now that I'm older, I can completely get and understand what they mean. There are situations where the couple has serious doubts about getting married or they haven't really considered what married life will bring, yet they still go through with getting married because they've already sent out the invitations and the venues have been booked. Here's the thing people don't understand though, it costs much less to cancel the things you've put together for the wedding than it does to come up with all the expenses needed in order to get a divorce, especially in this economy. Also when you're married, you're in one household, you can split the costs on things, you can share things which means if you're both working and bringing home nice checks, you'll each have more money to spend on things only you want to do. Now, let me say that I am in NO way suggesting that you stay in a marriage where you are miserable, where there is abuse, cheating, addiction, etc, but what I AM saying is you should SERIOUSLY think about what you're getting yourself into before you get married. Marriage is a VERY serious commitment, one that shouldn't be taken lightly, so please, please be sure it's what you want to do before you do if because marrying the wrong person can be a far worse consequence than not getting married at all.
