Mark Anthony and his bride-to-be Marina
plan to marry in May but Marina says
the borders in Russia are closed and who knows
when it will be okay to travel again.
They're joining me on Zoom and Marina,
you're listening to everything that we're saying, right?
You're able to hear everything?
Yes, yes.
I listen, I listen.
And I answered Mark's first question which was
I would not advise you to sign this prenuptial agreement.
And his second question was that
there's this date set up for May 25th
and if looks down this list
and one out of ten of those things seem reasonable to him,
should he go forward with this?
That's your question, right Mark?
Well, okay even if Marina doesn't fit the checklist,
I'm going out on a leap of faith
because of the dates, because I love her,
because I have seen growth in her
and I believe we can stay with each other.
So with that, to me, that's all that a marriage needs
and I am afraid for us
'cause I don't ever wanna get divorced, ever.
So your question is do I think it's reasonable
to move forward on this May 25th date?
Yes.
Absolutely, unequivocally not.
Absolutely not.
Not even a close call.
To get married and make it work,
you two have a lot of premarital work you need to do
before you even have a remote chance at success
when you get married.
What can you do to help us?
If Marina is
motivated to move forward in this relationship
towards marriage, and let me ask you Marina.
Are you comfortable getting married on May 25th
based on how things are now?
I think now in this situation I think it's
not so comfortable because
virus and all is closed.
I don't know how to do it physically.
I don't know.
But it would be cool if we'd get married
on my birthday
but I don't know to make it now
in this situation with virus.
Okay, well let's take the virus out of it.
Let's say that somebody could wave a magic wand and
COVID-19, the coronavirus just disappeared,
that wasn't an issue.
Would you be comfortable getting married,
based on what you know now, on May 25th?
Maybe I think
we need a little more time
to know each other,
maybe.
Well you say that Mark nags and talks too much,
that he's depressed and anxious and
cries if he doesn't get his own way
and is unstable
emotionally with you, that he's jealous.
Would you want those things worked out
before you committed to a relationship?
No, I think it's
jealous is good sometimes
but not too much
because sometimes Mark is very jealous.
My, for example, Instagram,
my would stop and
with whom I speak and
I think it's too much.
But jealous sometimes is good feelings.
But I am jealous too sometimes.
Right, you said that he gets aggressive and violent
and says that you're a Judas
and send you to Hell.
Yes.
Yes, it's true.
When we speak an money issues,
he sometimes is very aggressive.
And yes, some of those times
he called me Judas and go to Hell
but I don't understand why
because I don't want to pay 10%
from my income only for his.
Yeah, and then he says that you're not really committing
in terms of being a working partner in the relationship
and pulling your weight as a partner.
So the question is,
are you willing to be negotiable on those things?
