Unless you meet these requirements:
1. Can take care of yourself - If you are dependent on someone, marriage is a bad idea.
2. Got no job - Already too many people on welfare ....
3. Dated the person for at least 1 year - If you haven't, don't do it. If someone recommends someone to you, don't buy the hype and marry them
4. GET an STD TEST - Too many nasty diseases out there
5. Responsible - If you are irresponsible, marriage won't make you responsible.
Oh, yeah, don't have any kids for the first 2 years just incase you divorce.
