I Wouldn't Mind Having a Husband, I Just Don't Want to Be Somebody's Wife: The Single Woman's Guide to Self-fulfillment

This book was written for the scores of single-never-been-married women who are desperately seeking marriage and will help them answer the following questions. Are you aware of what being married really means? Are you prepared for a husband? If you knew what it really meant to be a wife, would you still want it?

Excerpt: Taken from Section4
No one sets out in marriage contemplating a divorce. But, what if you did? Not in a morbid sort of way where you're setting yourself up with a death wish (speaking to the death of a marriage) but, in a realistic way of thinking of an 'every' case scenario. Ask yourself, "How would this man treat me during a divorce?"

This is something most people don't consider. And when the person you were supposed to love forever turns into public enemy number one, it's difficult to process. When the man who was supposed to honor and cherish you is not only not wishing you well but is doing everything within his power to bring you down, it's enough to literally change your outlook on life, love, and relationships. You lose faith in romance and commitment.

Say you pledged your life to a man who seems to be out to get you. The word "committed" will take on a whole new meaningcomplete with straitjacket.

When you're romantically involved in the beginning and still feeling the fluttering wings of butterflies in your stomach you would never guess that this same person would later call you out of your name, disrespect you in ways you would never imagine, plot against you, and sometimes even strike you.

If you pay attention, there are always signs early on. For instance, I was talking to a guy on the phone for the first time. We were introduced through one of my family members and he, too, looked good on paper. During this first conversation he tells me how much he hates his brother's wife and then calls her a beyotch (the first time I'd ever heard the term). I knew at that moment, if not any other, he wasn't the one for me. Any man that would think it okay to call a woman out of her name will one day think it okay to do the same to me. Eww! And how unattractive is that anyway?

It's the little things in the beginning which lead up to the big things later. Small incidences that may not seem to mean much early on fester and grow into bigger things or make it easier to get to the more hurtful things.

By the time you reach the courtroom you are so used to saying ugly words that both of you are spitting out hateful retorts at each other and wondering how you got there when you once thought you were so in love.
