Nick Perry argues that pet names, gifts, living together, and marriage itself don't predict a good partnership. What matters is respect, shared values, and mutual support. Everything else is noise.
A woman who calls you babe means Jack Shit. A woman who buys you gifts means Jack Shit. This one's going to be hard. A woman who becomes the mother of your children means Jack Shit. A woman who lives with you means Jack shit. A woman who posts all kinds of social media about you online means Jack Shit. A woman who marries you means Jack shit. What truly matters is a woman who genuinely respects you, values, and stands by you, who is willing to grow with you, support you and build a life with you. That, my friends, is worth giving a shit.
