I've occasionally heard young women call you to ask if they should move with their boyfriends to far away locations. You usually say, not unless you're married! All that advice you give to women is the TRUTH, and I want your listeners to hear my story.
My boyfriend and I had been dating for almost two years, and I knew he was the man I wanted to marry. He got a great job offer and moved to a new location eight hours away. He asked me to go and move in with him, but I said I didn't want to uproot my entire life without being married. He said he didn't want to get married. So, he went alone, and we dated long-distance for four months. When he kept insisting I move in, I finally broke up with him, because he still did not want to get married and this was as far as our relationship was going to go.
Four months later, he called me out of the blue. He told me he had made a big mistake and really wanted to talk to me. I told him that he needed to make the trip to ME if he wanted to talk. He did come the eight hours distance and said he realized that he really did love me, and he didn't want to lose me. Then he asked me to marry him. Four months after that we were married and that's when we packed up my things and moved to our new home together in his new location. This year, we're celebrating 25 years of marriage!
That year was long and emotionally draining, and I shed lots of tears. But it was so worth it to stick to my guns. My husband is my lover, my best friend, and the best person that I get to live life with! I hope others really hear you and take your words seriously!
