If the SHTF, you still need to wipe your ass.

My brother in law is the epitome of this thread. He's an immature spoiled brat living in the body of a reasonably successful 30 year old. Totally miserable and desperate to get married because all of his friends were, so he threw money and gifts at every girlfriend he could find. All of the decent ones ran away, but I always told my wife that someday he would meet the right one........and he did.........then he got her preggo.........and she already has two kids from two different dads. Anybody else see that freight train coming down the tracks? So now these two, both in massive debt, are going to have a destination wedding in Florida. FANTASTIC way to start off a marriage.

Personally, I'm another one in the "got lucky" camp. My wife helped motivate me to go back to school, rekindle my lost religion on my terms, and has given me three great kids and a better life than I deserve. She also loves sports and can hold her own with my buddies. I knew I had a keeper when she would fire right back at my friends giving her crap, and have just as much fun around them as I did.
