Finding the right person to spend your life with isn’t an exact science. That’s why you can find an endless amount of dating and marriage advice online. Still, while there is no single “right” way to go about finding love, you’d be surprised at the wisdom some married folks have to share. Madi Messner learned this during a recent girls night, which included her mom.

At some point, their conversation became all about how to find the right man to marry. While everyone had something insightful to say, it was Mom’s marriage advice that truly blew everyone out of the water. Madi found what her mom said to be so powerful, in fact, that she had to have her say it again on camera for others to hear. Hear this insightful mom’s advice yourself in the viral video below.

When looking for someone to spend your life with, you want to make sure they will be there for you through all of life’s ups and downs. Still, even knowing this, Madi’s mom provides a unique, powerful way to consider whether or not this is true of the person you care about. That’s because the loss of a parent can be a particularly devastating experience:

“The person you marry, you need to know with all your heart, will take you through the death of your mother and the death of your father,” she said.

Although the death of a parent is heavy to think about, the comments under the video prove that many find this advice particularly helpful.

“This is very true. I lost my parents a week apart during Christmas last year,” someone shares in the comment section. “Your husband somehow becomes even more like family & he better be a good one to carry you.”

“Death changes you, too. A life partner also understands that,” another person points out. “It’s not just supporting you in grief, but also you both need to be able to embrace the new person you will become.”
