Wow - a new low on HN. Here we have a never-been-married 19yo who just gave four paragraphs of advice to someone asking for marriage advice. The fact that you think you should be offering such advice just shows either (a) a complete lack of social skills, (b) a self-belief that is completely whacko, and/or (c) a complete disregard for what life experience brings to the table. I'd normally have led this with, "No offense..." but since you are 19 and are offering marital advice, you probably should get upset; maybe it will eventually lead to to you objectively look back and say to yourself, "WTF was I thinking responding to that guy? I'm 19 years old and have never been married."

Umm... First of all when I say no offense intended, I mean it. Nobody will waste there whole life on a book which is not worth much and those books can never be best sellers like these. And I would just like to clarify on a few things here 1) I wasn't giving specific advice on marriage, as mentioned in my post I am too young to give it. Go through the post again and see its a very general one. It works with any relationship be it with your girl/boyfriend, your mother, you son talking just works I think. 2) It wasn't exactly an advise per se, it was actually an observation (may be my post was wrongly worded). 3) I really don't get how can one be wacko in believing that by talking you can ease out a relationship. 4) In no way I disregarded the life experience of anyone. I just wanted to bring to the table what many of people holding life experience had brought to my attention. I really didn't see why you had to rip my post apart. A more polite response was possible, and if this is the way you went about talking I can see why talking didn't work for you, some offense intended.
