What are the things to prepare to get married?

Answer 1

money lots and lots of money

Answer 2

Knowing yourself. If you don't know who you are or at least have a firm grasp on who you are turning into marriage can and most likely will be that much harder to keep afloat. An understanding partner will also help that (if/when you change as a person- everyone does), but depending on the change it may or may not be suitable for you partner. I strongly believe that you first have to know and understand yourself before you can really know and understand someone else. Some people say things like finances, a house, a career, and a car. Seems strange to me that all of these things are stress FACTORS but material and a marriage is not a substance but an emotional bond and partnership between two people. Say you have a great income, a big house, a long career history and a dependable car... Will these make you and your wife communicate your wants and needs? Will the create love and understanding in your marriage? Will they give your courage to push through arguments to work harder for a suitable solution? Prepare yourself to say "I'm wrong." Prepare yourself to think of "us" not "me." Prepare yourself to remind yourself WHY you married this person. Prepare yourself to commit to keeping the marriage fresh and enjoyable at an endless rate--- don't let it taper off. Prepare yourself for good and bad days. One bad day or 5 in a row doesn't mean the marriage is failed. Prepare to hit rock bottom in your relationship, becuase it will happen. When you think you've hit it, you probably haven't so prepare yourself by keeping strength to love and honor your relationship as well as your partner. Remind your partner that you love them. Just becuase you're together doesn't mean they "just know." Prepare to be embarasses from time to time. Those are important ones... If you're asking what to prepare for getting married (ceremony)- you'll need to do the whole marriage license thing, invite families/friends, food/drink, location, clothing, decoration etc.

Answer 3

Are you a guy? Then prepare for this...

Your marriage has a 60% chance of failure, which will be most likely initiated by your wife. Of course she will do this after you have kids so she can milk you for alimony and child support. Basically the court will suck away about 80% of your income. And this is after you are in a marriage with a manipulating woman who will control your life and make you miserable.

Don't be a tool.

Answer 4

Emotionally or are your talking material....

Okay well, relationship wise: You should be able to be honest with each other. No mind games.

Material wise: You should be financial stable to start a family, because that is a marriage. A start of a family (even if you don't plan to ever have kids).

Answer these questions with your future spouse if you can:
1: What percentage of our income are we prepared to spend to purchase and maintain our home on a monthly or annual basis?
2: Who is responsible for keeping our house and yard cared for and organized? Are we different in our needs for cleanliness and organization?
3: How much money do we earn together? Now? In one year? In five years? Ten? Who is responsible for which portion? Now? In one year? Five? Ten?
4: What is our ultimate financial goal regarding annual income, and when do we anticipate achieving it? By what means and through what efforts?
5: What are our categories of expense (rent, clothing, insurance, travel)? How much do we spend monthly, annually, in each category? How much do we want to be able to spend?
6: How much time will each of us spend at work, and during what hours? Do we begin work early? Will we prefer to work into the evening?
7: If one of us doesn't want to work, under what circumstances, if any, would that be okay?
8: How ambitious are you? Are we comfortable with the other's level of ambition?
9: Am I comfortable giving and receiving love sexually? In sex, does my partner feel my love for him or her?
10: Are we satisfied with the frequency of our lovemaking? How do we cope when our desire levels are unmatched? A little? A lot? For a night? A week? A month? A year? More?
11: Do we eat meals together? Which ones? Who is responsible for the food shopping? Who prepares the meals? Who cleans up afterward?
12: Is each of us happy with the other's approach to health? Does one have habits or tendencies that concern the other (e.g., smoking, excessive dieting, poor diet)?
13: What place does the other's family play in our family life? How often do we visit or socialize together? If we have out-of-town relatives, will we ask them to visit us for extended periods? How often?
14: If we have children, what kind of relationship do we hope our parents will have with their grandchildren? How much time will they spend together?
15: Will we have children? If so, when? How many? How important is having children to each of us?
16: How will having a child change the way we live now? Will we want to take time off from work, or work a reduced schedule? For how long? Will we need to rethink who is responsible for housekeeping?
17: Are we satisfied with the quality and quantity of friends we currently have? Would we like to be more involved socially? Are we overwhelmed socially and need to cut back on such commitments?
