Men, if you can win your wife to this spiritual perspective you stand to save thousands of dollars over the lifetime of your marriage.
It is easy to condemn those who marry for money or status, but a more insidious wrong motive has insinuated its way into our culture: romance. Romance has attached to itself a raft of benefits focused on self-fulfillment and the realization of dreams (notably the dream of ‘the right one for me’), but because this is not God’s purpose for marriage, it is a self-defeating goal. Besides, as Hauerwas nicely observes, even if we seek to marry ‘the right person’, in practice ‘we always marry the wrong person. We never know whom we marry; we just think we do. Or even if we first marry the right person, just give it a while and he or she will change.’ Paradoxically, it is when we jointly embark on the endeavor of serving God in his world that romantic pleasure sometimes takes us by surprise. As a goal it evaporates, but as an unsought blessing it may be greeted with delight and thanksgiving.
-Christopher Ash, Marriage: Sex in the Service of God, p 219.
according to Script 
First, find out what marriage is before you get married. Your goal should be to do what GOD wants you to do. If you are living for GOD, then marriage will be a success.
