Just the responsibilities. I'm not married yet and my parents doesn't tell me they said I have to find it out myself. So I tried the internet but to no avail. All I can search for is to 'love one another' and that's it. I thought that real people with experience might be able to answer this.

Marriage responsibilities, at least as I see them.
1. Honesty. Don't lie, don't avoid the truth. How can your partner get to know the real you if they never get to see it? Let them in, to your joys and your pains. Be open to them, and let them be open to you.
2. Communication. Talk about the little things, and the big ones. Make nothing out of bounds between you. Talk about anything. And just as important, be willing to listen. Discus all major decisions, and be sure you have a consensus before you act.
3. Fidelity. Be faithful in thought and deed. Don't let yourself wonder "what if?". Don't let yourself imagine yourself with someone else, being somewhere else. The thought is parent to the deed.
4. Love. Love is a willingness to put aside your own wants for the other person. A willingness to do the hard work, put in the full nine yards. To go beyond the "I want" and "I need" to the "we are". But it has to be mutual. No-one should be the giver all the time, and no-one can be the taker all the time.
5. Intimacy. Let there be something between the two of you that is yours alone. This will go beyond friendship, beyond family, and even beyond life itself. Let there be a connection. A joining. One half of a whole. Two together who become more than individuals, more than they are by themselves.

Married people are -- above all things -- partners. Relationships take work: talking; working toward common goals; loving one another; liking one another when you don't really love the other one at a given moment . . . You open your heart to you partner, and you partner to you.
The important thing is to ascertain that you have common goals: raising a family; how to raise the family; religious views; views on the world. The only way to ascertain these things is to start talking to the person in whom you're interested, and never stop talking after you're married. Communication is the key to a healthy marriage and partnership.
Best of luck . . .

Responsibilities Of Marriage

The main thing is to be kind to each other. There's lots of pressures in marriage, adjusting to living with a new person in a relationship much closer than you've experienced before. You don't really know someone till you've lived with them for at least 6 months. Make allowances for different ways of looking at things. Make sure you both indulge in lots of tactile communication all the time, not just when you want to have sex.

The first responsiblity is to be honest with each other. Make a commitment to your mate. Stand by when there is problems and help get it all worked out. Read what the marriage vows say, and see if you could do as it says. if not then you should not get married. Your parents could be more helpful than that, if they want you to have healthy relationships.

We have a joint account for bills & separate accounts for personal use. This is my preference as in my first marriage we had just a joint account & my ex would go to the bank, withdraw money, never tell me, and I would write checks for bills only to have them bounce! That is totally humiliating!! His response? I forgot! Only one of the reasons why I divorced him!

•Love
•Trust
•Communication!
•Monogamy
•Support (each other)
•Help (one another)
•Have fun together
•Respect
Sounds to me like you may still be young, so think of it as you and your BEST friend. You trust, respect, communicate, etc...Add in Bills, and Family, Monogamy, and Faith, and you have a "partnership."
Much Love! ☼
