Too cash-strapped to get married? You’re certainly not alone. According to the Census Bureau, the population of never-marrieds exceeded the number of married folk for the first time in a century.

Translation: Fewer of us are getting hitched these days. In fact, the percentage of men and women who were married fell from 57 percent in 2000, to 52 percent in 2009 (the lowest percentage since the government began collecting data more than 100 years ago). And if you’ve been feeling lately like you’re the only attached girl without a ring on your finger, here’s some comforting news (depending on how you look at it): The percentage of ladies who were hitched fell to 49.9 percent.

So you’ve met Mr. Oh-So-Right, and you’re pretty sure he’s about to pop the question. Or maybe he already has, and you’re halfway done planning your wedding. You’ve been dreaming about married life and. . . stop right there.

You may think you know what your marriage will be like—after all, you’re in love, you’ve been living together for two years, you’ve met his family, know his favorite ice cream flavor and the list goes on. But the truth is, you never know how a marriage will turn out. People grow and change, and so do relationships. While you can’t tell exactly how things will change, you can at least know where those changes might occur.

As your faithful guide in dating, marriage and beyond, YourTango has collected quotes from nine women about what they wish they had known before they got married. Live, learn, and be prepared.

As I mentioned earlier this weekend, I spent Labor Day attending the most awesome wedding I’ve ever been to. Granted, it probably meant that the bride, groom, and both sets of parents bled money consistently for the past year, but there were some non-financial lessons to be learned as well. Here are a few:

1. A forced vacation means everyone has fun. These particular nuptials were only about two hours away, but the fact that I was out of town, not worrying about getting home after the party, and in vacation mindset meant that I was in fun mode all weekend.  
2. Encourage bonding. This could mean planning introductions between friends and couples you think will get along, or simply getting everyone together before the big day, either at someone’s house or at a bar. If you’ve danced together once, you will dance together again.
