Never Marry The Girl You Love—Marry The One You’ve Examined
There are a lot of controversies about marriage relationship and love that so many men don't know about. Let's forget about delusional love and focus on reality.
Let’s kill the fantasy and expose some secret that has caused social media brouhaha in recent times.
First and foremost love is not clarity.
Love is chemical bias, a full-body high that disables your logic, ignores red flags, and convinces you that this is “different.”
But if you make marriage decisions while you’re high on her smile, her body, or her “vibe."
You’ll wake up in a courtroom wondering how you missed the obvious.
Let’s break it down.
✓. Love Is Not a Len. It’s a Smoke Machine.
When you’re in love:
– You ignore the lies.
– You excuse the disrespect.
– You call the delusion “destiny.”
You think she’s the one because she makes your stomach flip.
But indigestion does that too.
Love makes you invest before you investigate.
And by the time reality kicks in.
You’ve already paid the bride price, signed the lease, and called her “home.”
Love is blind. So is justice. And the law. It’s already coded with bugs that favor women by default.
✓. The Smartest Men Don’t Marry Alone—They Assemble a Council
Before you propose, ask yourself.
Who vetted her?
Because while you were hearing wedding bells, your circle was hearing alarm bells.
You need:
– A close friend (to spot the manipulation)
– A mentor (to check alignment)
– A spiritual guide (to test values)
– A doctor (to run genotype, fertility, blood type)
– A psychiatrist (to dig mental health history)
– A therapist (to sniff out trauma)
– An accountant (to spot financial red flags)
– Time (to reveal her default, not her dating profile)
And most importantly.
You need someone who’ll say, “Bro, she’s beautiful—but she’s dangerous.”
Because the woman you love… might be the woman who ruins your life.
✓. Every Foolish Marriage Starts With “But I Love Her…”
You knew she was reckless, but you loved her.
You knew she had zero peace, but you loved her.
You knew her mom was divorced three times and raised her on TikTok quotes, but you loved her.
You thought love would fix it.
But love doesn’t fix dysfunction. It just sponsors it.
You’re not a savior. You’re not a therapist. You’re not a rehabilitation center.
You’re a man with purpose and you can’t afford to marry chaos with a cute face.
✓. Build Your Vetting Team Before You Fall in Love
Here’s the real danger:
Once you’re hooked on her, your brain recruits yes men.
You cut off your wise friends. You ignore the mentor who warned you. You avoid your mom’s calls because “she doesn’t get it.”
You create a fake echo chamber of support because deep down, you know you’re making a bad call.
That’s why your vetting council must be built while you’re still sane.
Before she clouds your judgment.
Before you call lust “loyalty.”
Before you buy a ring out of guilt, not greatness.
✓. The Woman You Love Might Be the Worst One to Marry
If she knows she has your heart.
She’ll stop trying.
She’ll use your emotions as leverage.
She’ll call you controlling when you set standards.
She’ll say “You should accept me as I am” while dragging you backwards.
Because she knows:
You won’t walk away.
And if she knows that then you’re finished.
Because the woman you love should also fear losing you.
Not because you’re toxic.
But because you’re rare.
Final Word: Love Is a Test and Marriage Is a Contract
You don’t marry because of butterflies.
You marry because of blueprints.
You marry the one your circle agrees on.
The one time has tested.
The one truth has exposed—and still found worthy.
Because when love fades?
It’s the clarity of your counsel that keeps the marriage alive.
So yes, fall in love.
But don’t propose in it.
Get sober.
Then let wisdom choose the woman your future depends on.
Because the woman you marry is not just your wife.
She’s your co-author, co-founder, and co-defendant if she gets crazy then all will chaos
Choose well.
