Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, Expanded Edition: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment

by Steve Harvey

If you are used to being the financial savior for your family members, I can guarantee you that most men will not be comfortable with that as you begin your marriage.

You don’t want your family’s financial challenges to become a thorny issue in your new marriage.

8. Are you comfortable with each other’s families? You’ve finally figured out how to deal with his overbearing mother during family gatherings but are you ready to deal with her for the rest of your life?

Have an open discussion about each other’s family members, past difficulties, and future expectations.

Figure out a common plan of action for rude comments from wayward relatives and family events that get out of control.

Has he consistently shown you that he can be there when you need him the most?

Don’t get so caught up in planning for the ring, the dress, and the party that you forget to plan for a LIFE together with this man.

Any man can make you an empty promise, but it takes a real man to step up and be the HUSBAND that you deserve.
