If you or your partner suffer from late maturation, selfishness, poor decision-making, and/or inadequate communication or relationship skills, don't get married! Does your potential spouse have a drinking problem; a jealousy problem? Does he/she not want you to meet their family? These are warning signs you shouldn't ignore. In Don't Get Married...Unless, Dr. Wright offers very specific situations, qualities, and deficits that are signals of when NOT to marry. Dr. Wright believes that marriage is a sacred covenant.
