fortunately i have a supportive husband however, i think many people find it difficult to develop any type of long term relationship or marriage with someone while they are in grad school, particularly if it is a doctoral program. many people do not understand the sacrifices that a student has to make, the long reading and research, the various projects and the work you have to do as a grad asst. as part of your financial obligation.

from what i have gotten from a close friend of mine in a doctoral program, you are essentially married to the program. unless you are in it, it hard for someone to relate to a person when they are up real late working and up real early because a project is due.

financially it is a big sacrifice. we are talking about years of not being able to progress a whole; difficulty buying a home, a new car. it is hard to work while in your program or from my understanding it is not recommended. therefore there is no supplemental income to do some extra curricular things.


exquisite-depending on what your financial situation is, you may want to wait, simply because many law school graduates leave with lofty loan obligations after graduation. weddings are very expensive, so unless you plan on something small and intimate or your family is footing the bill, i suggest you do it before you go to law school or consider waiting until after. if you consider waiting, at least you will have something to think about when you get tired of reading those law texts or need a break from studying for the bar.
