My husband is a mel-phleg and I find him the best man in the world. His temperament has seriously helped me so much in striving towards holiness. :)

When you get married, you get to tackle on the world with your spouse. The world can be really crummy, but it's lovely to create a brightness with your spouse and the children that come forth from that love.

Marriage is really awesome. The vocation is a complete priority between my husband and I. And I think the only reason I can handle the emotional and physical stressors of raising a family is because of my husband. He is my rock.

The girl you've met sounds really great! Develop a good prayer habit between you two and ask for God's will. My husband and I went through probably four 54 day rosary novenas and countless other prayers to discern God's will for us. My husband is a good man who has an infinite devotion to being a husband and father. And our personalities clicked so I knew he was the one for me. He took a little longer deciding on me (I'm a bit more of a choleric personality ;) ). And now we'll be married five years next year and we have baby number four on the way! :)

I guess what I'm saying is to just have trust in God and act with good will in all you do. And know that to be that pillar of strength for your family, you just have to lean on God and Our Lady. The times my husband has helped me the most is when I am in emotional distress and he takes me by the hand and leads me to our statue of Our Lady and he prays with me. The strongest and manliest men put their worries before God and Our Lady. :)

A good book if you get discouraged is Searching for and Maintaining Peace. https://www.amazon.com/Searching-Maintaining-Peace-Small-Treatise/dp/0818909064

It helps put life in an eternal perspective.

> My lsat was pretty good (175) but my gpa was only a 3.37, which makes me a splitter for most of the top schools. Do you think that's the sort of thing that comes up during interviews? Or is it something I should bring up myself to address? I don't have any real excuse, since my general academic performance was consistent throughout college as opposed to me falling ill or having a bad first semester or something.

Kudos on the high LSAT score! I honestly think you could see some serious scholarship money with that. I wouldn't bother bringing up the low GPA unless you're directly asked about it. What schools are you applying to?

> This is gonna be a bit of an odder one, but what is the number one thing you wish you had done before going to law school? I've got a solid 10 months or so before I trade all me free time to become a lawyer, and I definitely want to make the most of it.

Honestly, I think the best thing you could do is relax as much as possible. If you want to do something law-related to beef up your resume a little, you may want to consider doing some volunteer work at Christian Legal Clinics of Philadelphia or another legal clinic over the summer. When you begin applying to post-1L internship opportunities, every little bit helps. If you also have the time for some light reading, consider checking out Getting to Maybe: How to Excel on Law School Exams. Although I've personally never gotten around to reading it, I know other people who have raved about it.

I'd say the Bible is about Jesus, don't rely just on human rationality. God fulfilled his covenant with David in Jesus Christ, whom they so often call the Son of David. Scott Hahn has great stuff on this, maybe you can start with this.

Read this book if you're interested, it talks specifically about the fulfillment of old prophecies in Jesus. Please stick to what I've written, post this in r/Catholicism as this is not the subreddit for this discussion. Feel free to delve deeper into these authors if you're interested in pursuing this line of questioning, it's more in-depth and most probably what you're looking for. That is, if you're not afraid...

I also highly recommend the book "Answering Atheism" by Trent Horn. Speaking as a former atheist, this has one of the best presentations of the arguments for God I've seen so far (although, granted, it doesn't cover the Argument from Reason, which has been pioneered by Plantinga and CS Lewis.).

I also recommend Fr. Barron's videos and commentaries. Here are two of my favorite videos of his to try on for size:

Ok, first google and figure out how to clean the filter. There’s usually one that’s easily accessible. Also, make sure there isn’t any other visible food left. Then try glisten dishwasher cleaner or something similar. I have also heard of using lemon jello or lemon koolaid powder or vinegar, but I trust the bottled stuff more than my own concoction. But you can experiment!

It's not Catholic, but it addresses a lot of the things that get left out when wedding planning. My wife and I liked to think of this book as life planning. It addresses a lot of the practical side of starting a new life together

I was hoping to get some recommendations from this thread. The book I have is called Padre Pio The Stigmatist by Rev. Charles Mortimer Carty. You can get it used for 1 cent plus shipping.

You argument is based on a flaw premise though. For most of human history humans lived in communities numbering around 500. Very few of these would be people in the same state of life as life. As you.

Read up on the paradox of choice. http://www.amazon.com/The-Paradox-Choice-More-Less/dp/149151423X

Basically the more options you have the less likely you are to be happy with any of them.

This is anecdotal, but my male classmates and co-workers had a hard time finding women genuinely interested in them when they mentioned "law school" in their profile.

Additionally, 1L is not the best time to be dating, or starting a relationship. Sorry. Across the board, that is where a lot of hurt happened for classmates, their former SOs or spouses. Lots of stress that first year because it is so new.

If you are working on losing weight... maybe you could use a picture of you doing some sort of activity (i.e. softball, 5k, cornhole, etc)? A picture is better than no picture.

*Disclaimer, I don't use dating websites. I lived vicariously through others in college and law school. Be outgoing during law school. It helps. But don't be surprised if non-law school/attorneys lose interest because you are too busy studying. Also, maybe briefly scan this quick read? It gives tips for profiles/profile pics as well.
