I'm not sure I agree with all this marriage advice... like, yeah, communication is key, duh! But what about when you're stuck together in a tiny apartment during quarantine? 
Does that sound "healthy" to me? And what's up with taking surnames before marriage? Is that really something people need to consider? I mean, I've got friends who are married and they take each other's names, no problem. It's just one of those things you do, right?

. I mean, don't get me wrong, communication, respect, and trust are super important in any relationship. But what about when things actually do go wrong? Like, my aunt and uncle had a 20-year marriage that was basically perfect, but then they lost their husband to cancer... it totally messed them up 
. It made them realize how much they took each other for granted. So while I get the whole "finding common ground" thing, I think it's also super important to acknowledge when things aren't going well and make an effort to fix them
