Ah, thank you both! You're all such charming, helpful people! This makes much more sense to me now.

Well, I'm working now and I don't anticipate being in dire need anytime soon. I just wanted to know what I can expect going into this marriage. And boy, the abundance of information is good to have prior knowledge of. One needs to know how to arm themself in extreme situations.

Thank you again, from the bottom of my humble heart!
