Assalamualaikum!
Here is a link towards some words of wisdom of a man who was married for 16 years but got divorced; these are his advices to the man who plans or has already settled down.
I think it is also good advice for women as well :) Good reminder for myself too.
It is a good read! :) Here is the link:

Above all, do not forget to also love HIM above anyone else. Second comes our dear prophet PBUH :) Insya-Allah, He who gave us the ability to love will open our hearts to the right person at the right time and guide us through.
