Every year over 2 million American men get married. One million of those marriages will end in divorce. Most men have no idea what they are getting into when they get married and fail to realize that they are placing themselves at risk of being taken advantage of by a predatory female aided by the divorce industry. Every year family courts regularly strip fathers of their rights, property and sometimes even their freedom. This book examines the biology of love and mating, helping the reader to understand why some unions are bound to fail before they even start. The book shows by example how every action can result in unintended consequences and elucidates the tell tale red flags which can signal a divorce in the future. The book sets out some basic principles for choosing a mate with emphasis on vetting her thoroughly before taking the plunge into marriage. A checklist that every man should go through carefully prior to marriage is provided. The middle chapters contain advice on keeping the marriage healthy by avoiding the common pitfalls, which may lead to divorce. Finally the author gives examples of how not to make the same mistakes so many other men have when dealing with a marriage on the rocks from infidelity, mental illness, or other common problems. Included in this section are suggestions as to how information can be collected objectively because dealing with these problems without the appropriate intelligence can be disastrous. The final chapter on Divorce sets out in stark contrast the consequences of choosing your mate unwisely, ignoring the red flags, failing to properly vette your prospective mate or failing to take appropriate precautions prior to matrimony. Think of this book as the fatherly advice you should have gotten from your dad and surely would have if someone had told him. No man should ever say "I DO" before reading this book
