Things I Wish Someone Told Me Before I Got Married
A candid field guide to the conversations, costs, and compromises nobody warns you about
by Evan Evans
The flagship book of the series — the relationship decisions you make before the wedding that determine the marriage.
About the Book
What's inside.
Marriage doesn't begin at the altar. It begins in the conversations, assumptions, and decisions you make long before — often without realising their weight.
Things I Wish Someone Told Me Before I Got Married is the book Evan Evans wishes he had been handed before his own commitment. It is part field guide, part decision framework, part gentle warning. Each chapter unpacks a question couples routinely skip: money scripts, family-of-origin defaults, conflict styles, expectations, future-child assumptions, and the quiet compromises that turn into resentments years later.
This is not a wedding-planning book. It is a marriage-decision book — for anyone who would rather have the hard conversation now than the harder divorce later.
