Briana asked: "If you could give a woman getting married one piece of advice, what would it be?"There is a phrase that we use around this house and it goes like this: "You should expect that the person you are dating is as good as they are going to get because when you're dating you're putting your best foot forward." I have talked to many girls who have closed their eyes and hoped for change and just jumped into marriage. It is a painful thing to watch and the consequences are lifelong.
My advice would to be to keep your eyes open and investigate before marriage and then squint them after! When you still have the chance to gracefully depart from the relationship, find out if those nitty gritty details are ones that you can live with for the next 30+ years. If so, and at the Lord's leading, proceed. 
A broken marriage is a painful thing and marriage is not something to get into without much thought and prayer!
