    You've obviously in the "good enough" basket, warts and all. That's something.

That's something, but not much. Why would being deemed "good-enough-for-breeding" be enough for the guy himself?

    Make sure she wants you to marry her for the right reasons

How do you make sure, when she'll most likely just be telling him whatever he wants to hear? For all we know, her real reason might be the awareness that she's too old to get anyone "better" anyway, so she's decided to settle and proceed to breeding as soon as possible.
