Do Not Get Married Unless You Ask Your Partner These 11 Questions

Marriage is one of the biggest decisions of your life, deciding to spend the rest of your life with one person, sharing everything with them and giving them you're all. It's kind of scary, but it's also quite exciting. We all have to get married at some point or the other, it is a part of life like everything else that takes you forward and helps you grow.

I'm not going to go into the depths of marriage right now, that will be a different video altogether. I am just going to quote some of the questions that you should ask your partner before deciding to tie the knot.

1. Have we discussed whether to have children and if the answer is yes, who will be the primary caregiver?
2. Do we like and respect each other's family?
This is a no-brainer. Family acceptance and love is an integral part of every marriage. If you have any problem with your partner's family, then learn to fix that problem and if you want your partner to be satisfied with you, then start loving them.

3. What does my family do that makes you angry?
This is a continuation of the last question that helps fix the problem. Everyone's family gets a little upset at some point or the other, and it's important to fix it right there.

4. Are we ready to sacrifice anything for this marriage?
Compromise and sacrifice are big parts of even the most basic relationships, and we're talking about marriage here. You need to make sure that both of you can do something for each other no matter what.

5. If we are compelled by some circumstances, will we be able to do so?
Unforeseen circumstances can happen to the best of us, and we should always be prepared for anything together. Sometimes, you will need to move on, make sure you both have the strength to support each other during that time. It also works when one of you has to move because of promotion or work.

6. Can I openly discuss my intimate side with you?
Complete openness to intimacy is very important in every marriage/relationship. You need to be open enough to be able to say whatever you want to your partner. Physical intimacy and keeping things "fresh" keeps you happy with your partner. So make sure to bring everything to the table without feeling ashamed, you guys are going to get married, no shame now.

7. Do we know everything about each other? Even the darkest of sides?
After marriage, it is hurtful when some things are exposed, it feels like you were lied to or something was hidden from you for a particular reason, make sure you know about each other before tying the knot. All in all, we all have our own deepest memories, and it's totally normal to share them.

The last four questions you should ask yourself and your partner are:
1. Do we see each other getting old (ancient) together?
2. Are we ready to give each other what we have?
3. Are we ready to accept each other not only as human beings, but as soul mates?
4. Is the purity of this relationship more important to us than our personal ego?
That's it for now. If you have anything to add here, please let me know in the comments below. And as always, stay blessed and keep the love alive!
