Choose Wisely: 8 Questions to Ponder Before you say "I Do" (post I read from in this episode)

"Think hard about who you marry. It's the most important decision you will ever make."David Brooks, Commencement Speech

"My strong advice is to obsess less about your career and to think a lot more about marriage. Please respect the truism that if you have a great career and a crappy marriage you will be unhappy, but if you have a great marriage and a crappy career you will be happy." David Brooks, To Be Happy, Marriage Matters More than Career
