I have done it before and it wasn't easy in my experience ... in fact the experience left me a little gun shy. The family piece is huge (on both sides) because you have to deal with the family forever and that is tough if they are potential monsters ... Geography is self explanatory ... money ... if my wife/gf doesn't have good credit AND doesn't practice good spending habits, that would drive me up a wall and eventually come to a head ... Like ... money is the #1 cause of divorce ... those issues are no joke ... and then the whole not the right person issue is legit ... no need in wasting time if the person just isn't going to have you just as excited after 2 years as you were after one month.<br/><br/>Nice blog by the way. I added you to my blog roll.

I had a conversation earlier about this exact same thing. Why does it seem black men are the main ones who cannot settle down and commit to marriage (compared to all the other ethnicity groups)? Your list exemplifies what could be the obstacles, but at some point don't black women have to say "hey, we have the same reservations but we are willing to commit. So what?" The same way an educated black man can commit to going to college, buying a home, choosing and then progressing in a career (and all the obstacles that come with those choices) -- it makes me wonder if we (as black women) allow them these list of excuses. Just a thought.<br/><br/>Again, great piece Posh. :) Great piece! I had a conversation earlier about this exact same thing.

I've personally experienced or seen close friends experience a few things on this list. The Geography one got me years ago---broke up a 2 year relationship. ALL of my friends with divorced parents are a little wary about getting married. My best friend (w/ divorced parents) just got engaged though---so that's not an "end all" but it can be a tough one to overcome. Great post.
