i have a quick question and would surely appreciate if i receive a suitable answer that will allow me to make a reasonable decision.

well the problem is this:
i plan to apply to med school next year but my problem is i am currently in a relationship and would like to know whether any of you have been through the transition of either marrying before entering to med school (and its challenges), marrying during med school (and its challenges), and marrying after med school (and its challenges)

i want to marry just before i enter med school and possibly live on campus with my wife is that what you've seen people do? i know that i will not be working to earn an income during my years in med school so this is holding me back because i do not want my wife to be the primary income earner so we planned that during my time in med school she would be and upon graduation into residency this would change? i want to specialize possible in pediatric neurosurgery so this would take some time, can someone give me some advice please?

if u want extra details let me know

I don't have a direct answer to your question. People come into medical school with different relationship statuses, and for some, it changes while they are in medical school, or after medical school. Life is unpredictable and the only thing you can be sure of is change. As long as you and your soon to be wife are up to the challenge, you will do fine. Good luck.
