Questions You Need To Ask Your Partner Before Getting Married

Found ‘The one’ and planning on getting hitched? Here are some questions you need to ask your to-be spouse before you tie the wedding knot!

The very thought of getting married sure stirs the butterflies in your tummy. Shifting to a new home, waking beside a person for the rest of your life! Sounds like groundbreaking changes! Now, before you get cold feet, you need to know that marrying the right person can be the biggest blessing in your life. A friend for life to trust, support and grow old with. Ready for the adventure? Well, almost! Here is a list of questions you must ask your partner before you say ‘I do’!

Where Do You See Yourself In Years To Come?

It is okay to not have a timetable plan of what you want out of your life, but in years to come, there must be some things you want to check off your bucket list. It is essential to see if you both are on the same page. If travelling is your goal and you want to visit at least two places in a year, your partner should want the same. Minor differences can be compromised on, but it might not take you both to the same destination if you feel you are not compatible with each other.

Thoughts On Children?

If you feel talking about kids will make the conversation on your second date uncomfortable, you are probably wrong about it. Kids are an integral part of marriage, and bringing up a kid requires dedication, sacrifice, and savings. Whatever you decide, it should be a well-discussed decision.

How Well Do You Handle Stress?

Life throws many situations at you where you will find yourself gasping under boulders of stress. It is up to you how well you handle the situation. Some try and focus on meditation, walking and therapy to deal with it, while some are not very good at handling such things. Make sure you know how your partner behaves in uncomfortable situations.

How To Manage Finances?

The root cause of all modern marital disputes is inadequate financing. Money creates a sense of security and well-being, and honestly, keeps a relationship healthy. Before you tie the holy knot, make sure you discuss your pay cheques, savings, expenditures, mortgages and expensive hobbies!
