Are you planning to tie the knot? Are you ready to ask her to marry you? Are you eagerly waiting to say “YES I WILL MARRY YOU” when he finally proposes? Maybe the answer to all those questions is Yes, you are all ready for all that and can’t wait, but the big question remains, “Am You ready to sustain a marriage”
Ever heard of the saying that ‘Love is blind’? Well, maybe it is but according to some too, ‘Marriage is the eye opener.’
Today, Kigali Daily news puts for you 5 things you should consider before getting married.
5 . Unconditional Love
Stress on “Unconditional”. It’s crystal clear that you are that far in your relationship simply because you have ‘love’ between you two. But the million dollar question is ‘Is this love unconditional?’
Living under the same roof with someone means much more than just love. It requires unconditional love, because that’s when you’ll discover that your significant other sometimes doesn’t clean after themselves, maybe they don’t remember to close the toilet seat, and other small things which seem bearable at first, but over the years be the cause of contant arguments.
It is important to know deeply from your heart if you really love your partner enough to love them through thick and think, good and bad times, sick or healthy, poor and rich.
4 . Effective communications
By now, you should know that effective communication is one of the crucial elements of marriage. A gap in the communication structure of a marriage can often lead to a failed relationship.
You are in a healthy marriage when you can openly express your deep feelings and avoid burying hurt or anger. There are various things to know about each other before marriage, and communication is a great tool.
No partner in a relationship should feel shy or timid about communicating their feelings at any point. Neither of you should have second thoughts about sharing your needs, desires, pain points, and thoughts.
Talking about effective communication is one of the important things to do before getting married.
3 . Intimacy
Intimacy is more than just a physical aspect, as it has an emotional aspect and arguably a foundation of the marriage itself.
So what to know before marriage? Learning about your partner’s needs and desires and if necessary talking to them about it, will help you satisfy them more and it will lead to a happy marriage.
2 . Financial Discussions
It’s not unusual to see couples divorcing a few months after getting married simply because they couldn’t be on the same page and decide about finances.
Before you tie that know, make sure you come to the agreement with your partner about how you will split those bills.
1 . Respect
Respect is one of the fundamental elements of a good marriage. Before you decide to tie the knot, it is important to consider that you and your partner have mutual respect.
Respect is essential for a healthy marriage as it can help you get through the tough times, times of disagreements and help you look at your partner’s perspective in small or big decisions.
