-if S/o owes a lot of back taxes, student loans, huge mortgage, back child support, etc don't get married yet. Let them fix it first (unless you really WANT to help pay for it).
- make sure you run a background check on them to make sure you're not marrying a convicted felon who can't leave the country for your honeymoon...or a pedo who shouldn't be around kids and you want 3...
-be best friends first. don't stop hanging out (going on dates)- if nothing else, try a new restaurant every month and go on a different active activity (bowling, putt putt, fly a kite, anything) so you don't get bored of each other. If you're broke you can always window shop too- makes for good christmas hints for each other too...
I've never been married myself (my choice) but have watched my dear friends/family crash and burn....
