Not really advice, but the pastor who introduced us backed out of marrying us 2 weeks before the date because he didn’t want the first wedding he performed to be a marriage that wouldn’t last. He believed this because i moved in with her & her parents while engaged.

My well-meaning, previously divorced dad told me growing up, “Just agree in the moment, then do whatever you want later.”
This is one of the causes of one of my problems with communication and honesty that my husband and I are working to overcome. He’s amazing patient— Angie Ag. (@abbydream13) August 2, 2020
