Know the deal you’re getting into. Know that self-preservation is the key to a happy marriage— and a happy divorce. We don’t take a job expecting that we’ll hate it and quit. We don’t sign the lease on an apartment we’ll be sick of in six months, and we don’t enter into a relationship planning for the breakup. But the flip side is that we shouldn’t expect any relationship we enter into will save us from the responsibility of being self-sufficient. No matter where you are in the process—dating, engaged, married, contemplating separation, and divorce—if you can realize why you have to put yourself first, you’re halfway there. Whether you’re in the rapturous throes of endless love or the first moments of stomach-churning awareness that your marriage is falling apart, this book is for you. It’s for every woman who understands that self-preservation will not happen if you rely on someone else to save you. You need to maintain—or begin to establish— your personal independence and financial solvency if you want to be self-sufficient no matter what life throws at you. You can lean on someone, but you have to be able to stand on your own two feet at a moment’s notice, and that’s what this book is about.
