”Try before you buy” seems like a common mentality toward marriage, but I will never understand it. At its core, it’s broken logic. Without a lot of healing, the mentality you have while dating will be the same mentality you bring to the altar. You can’t “try before you buy” and then turn around and treat your marriage like you would a car. It’s not rentable. It’s not meant to be run into the ground. It’s not meant to be borrowed. Marriage is sacred, and it is work.
Be sure to put boundaries in place while you’re dating so the other person in your relationship cannot treat you like a car to be run into the ground—and so that you cannot do the same. If you notice red flags in their behavior or yours, it’s time to reevaluate.
