    • Prayers for the women.  Prayers for the men.

    Our Lady of Good Counsel, pray for us.

    • Let's not forget that men are sometimes abused by their wives. Both physical and emotional abuse.

    Planes, trains, automobiles.... people travel.
    Some do, some don't. My mother and my MIL have only ever met once, at our wedding. It was certainly out of her comfort zone to travel, but she did for that occasion. My family never met my FIL because FIL would not travel. And it's not just one-sided. My mother doesn't like to travel either, but she had the advantage of the wedding being local for her. I don't exclude myself from this trend, buy my reasons are different. While I agree with your list in theory, I just can't picture it playing out on a practical level for a long-distance relationship, especially if the families are not both Traditional Catholic.

    That’s true. It’s less common for women to physically abuse their husbands than it is vice versa but it does happen. I think women emotionally abusing husbands is more common. Something that is  not talked about enough. As well as women using child custody threats to make a man stay in relationship.

    Every situation is different and the list was not meant to be a "catch-all" response. I was providing what our family does to pick up on red flags and to promote a good and holy match for marriage. I would encourage all to take what works for your family from the list and then add/subtract/modify or, create an entirely new list. The goal is to help in the success of a good and holy marriage.
