What type of things should you consider before deciding to marry someone?

Answer 1

Whether they are trustworthy, can communicate with them, and you can put your life in their hands and they will not forsake you.

Answer 2

There are lots of things to consider.

I think your ages, and how long you've known each other is important. Education and income are also important. How does he treat you, does he respect you? Does he make you laugh, does he have a good sense of humor?

Is he an honest person, can you trust him? Is he responsible and does he have initiative? Do you think he will be a good husband and father? How does he treat his parents? Brothers or sisters? Do you get along with his parents?

Do you both share the same values and goals? Do you both want a family? How many children? What about religion? Where do you both want to live?

Are there any "red flags" that you see and overlook? Don't make the mistake so many people make and think that you can "change" him after you get married. It doesn't work!

These are just some of the things I think you should know BEFORE you marry someone. Different things are important to different people so you may care more or less about some of those things.

It's excellent that you are asking questions like this before you walk up the aisle, everyone should. I wish you all the best.

Answer 3

Can you live with each other?
Can you spend 168 hours (1 week,night and day) together and get along?
Does he/she have an irritating habit that you know you'll be able to change once you get married? (That isn't going to happen, by the way! So could you "adjust, adapt" to it?)
Can you talk about things besides the weather and how horny you are?
Do you have some similar hobbies or interests?
Do you have different hobbies or interests that the other will allow to continue after marriage?

Just a few things I would consider now. Of course, love needs to be in there, too, but if you're considering marriage at all, then love must already be there! Unless this is a "Sugar Daddy/Momma" thing! I want one of those!! ~grin~

Answer 4

Consider this person's background and family, and how that might affect that person as a spouse. Are his/her parents, siblings divorced, for example? Sometimes you will need to ask their family for support. Do they like you?

Also, as someone else, said, communication is so important. If one person always gives in or never expresses his/her needs, that's going to cause resentment later.

Finally, remember that when you tie the knot with someone, they must now become #1 in your life. So, if your mother asks you to do something, and your spouse asks you to do the opposite, you must honor your spouse's wishes.

Answer 5

There are lots of things which you have to consider before marrying. First your both financial status - it is because when hunger enters the door LOVE will go out; second the health background of your future partner - you could not afford having kids with abnormalities; third the character of your future partner - physical looks could change but the character will not; and above all your future partner must be God-fearing - make God as the center of your relationship and He will bless you with good family! Goodluck and God bless you. . .

Answer 7

Always marry someone you can have a good conversation with. In later life you will come to rely on their conversation skills.

Answer 9

First thing is Do you Love him and can you see yourself waking up beside him everyday for the rest of your life...Is he honest with you and does he treat you like his queen. Be sure not to rush in to anything....but you will know if he is the right one something inside just makes it feel right.

Answer 10

Make sure you are compatible! Talk about all the things that you will encounter down the road. Decide now wether or not you can live with his/her little querps.

Answer 11

Finances, does he/she make enough money to eventually have a family, house, vacations, etc. Also, can they manage money, you don't want them to make you guys go broke.
Of course you should make sure you know a lot about the kind of person they are - any vices, have you seen him/her with other people, with his family, have you witnessed him/her losing their temper to see how they react. Do you like his/her family, do they like you?
Are they educated or getting educated if that is important to you?
Are they good in bed, because that will eventually bother you if he/she is not?
Of course, make sure you two trully love each other, like ready to make sacrifices for each other.
