S1 (00:01):
A listener, writes Gary. How do you suggest that my
fiance and I handle getting married as well as going
to grad school?

S2 (00:08):
My first suggestion is postpone the marriage. If you are
20 years old and already applying to graduate schools, you
must be exceedingly smart. So use your smarts. Don't get
married until you both have been accepted into graduate schools
and have part time jobs. This will give you a
realistic idea of how much time will be left over
for your relationship. You have plenty of time for marriage.

(00:30):
Why not finish graduate school before you get married? If, however,
you decide to get married while still in school, I
can tell you from experience you will have minimal time
for each other. I got married at 23 while in
graduate school and we had some very difficult years. Before
you get married. Talk with at least two couples who
got married while in graduate school. They will give you

(00:52):
realistic advice.

S1 (00:53):
