This is not to make light of the brass ring, or rather the diamond ring that you pursue.

As I spoke about in my last post, it’s vital that you have a plan in order to qualify your guy. Without this qualification process you’re leaving things to chance. Like a coin being flipped your odds are literally and figuratively, 50/50. (This born out in the the 50% plus divorce rate in the United States.)

If you haphazardly go about your relationships, if you treat love as if it’ll come to you and never leave, then you’ll be sadly mistaken. A recent study of divorce costs puts those costs at $50,000-250,000 depending on how contested the divorce is. Of course, this doesn’t count the mental costs on you, your ex-husband, and your kids.

Sadly, the odds are not in your favor…without a plan.

Just as you spend hours planning a fabulous cruise vacation pouring over guides and travel brochures, you must have a plan.

Just as you would never buy a used car without reading the warranty, checking under the hood, or asking a trusted friend what they think, you shouldn’t pick your future husband on a whim.

Think about it.

Would you buy a car on a coin flip?

Would you try a menu item with a strange name without first asking the waiter what he thought?

Then why in the wide, wide, world of sports would you do the same with your future?

Listen, your no longer in your early twenties. You have moved out of your parents house and up in the world. Isn’t it time you did the same with the most important decision you’ll make in life? Las Vegas withstanding, “love” games of chance are not fun. The house (which in this case is your divorce lawyer) always wins, and you lose when things are left to chance.
