Re Ralph's, "I can only advise you NOT to get married."

If you can simply talk someone out of getting married, they shouldn't be
thinking of marriage.  They should be beyond the thinking stage.  They
should have the personal conviction to get married despite your
discouragement, because discouraging things are bound to come along later,
and they'll need the grit or wit to see it through.  So...DON'T DO IT!
YOU'RE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE!  IT WON'T WORK!  OH, TO BE SINGLE AGAIN!

Whew!  That's Rev. Jim talking.  (Don't show this to my wife, please.)
