Choose anyone you like. Chances are you’ll regret it so it may as well be this person as that person.
Decision point questions to consider before taking the plunge:
1. Can you and them dedicate time for relationship maintenance?
2. Would you rather live with this person than anyone else?
3. If you had to choose someone to be your medical power-of-attorney, e.g., if you were incapacitated, would it be them?
4. Are they your best friend?
5. Can you both passionately negotiate and have disagreement without concerns of relationship damage?
6. Is there mutual, genuine caring and respect for each other?
7. Have you known each other for at least 2 years but preferably longer?
Funny how so few resources exist for the biggest decision of your life.
Remember, kids! Unhappy husbands are unhappier than single men. IMHO
